LONDON , Printed by I. N. for Thomas Walkley , and are to be sold at his shop at the signe of the Eagle and Child in Brittains-burse . 1630 .

To make the Spectators vnderstanders .

WHereas all Repraesentations , especially those of this nature in court , publique Spectacles , eyther haue bene , or ought to be the mirrors of mans life , whose ends , for the excellence of their exhibiters ( as being the donatiues , of great Princes , to their people ) ought alwayes to carry a mixture of profit , with them , no lesse then delight ; Wee , the Inuentors , being commanded from the King , to thinke on some thing worthy of his Maiesties putting in act , with a selected company of his Lords , and Gentlemen , called to the assistance : For the honor of his Court , and the dignity of that heroique loue , and regall respect borne by him to his vnmatchable Lady , and Spouse , the Queenes Maiesty , after some debate of cogitation with our selues , resolued on this following argument .

First , that a Person , boni ominis , of a good character , as Euphemus , sent downe from Heauen to Callipolis , which is vnderstood the Citty of Beauty or Goodnes , should come in ; and , finding her Maiesty there enthron'd , declare vnto her , that Loue who was wont to be respected as a speciall Deity in Court , and Tutelar God of the place , had of late receiu'd an aduertisement , that in the suburbes , or skirtes of Callipolis , were crept in certaine Sectaries , or deprau'd Louers , who neyther knew the name , or nature of loue rightly , yet boasted themselues his followers , when they were fitter to be call'd his Furies : their whole life being a continew'd vertigo , or rather a torture on the wheele of Loue , then any motion eyther of order or measure . When sodainely they leape forth below , a Mistresse leading them , and with anticke gesticulation , and action , after the manner of the old Pantomimi , they dance ouer a distracted comoedy of Loue , expressing their confus'd affections , in the Scenicall persons , and habits , of the foure prime European Nations .

A glorious boasting Louer . A whining ballading Louer . An aduenturous Romance Louer . A phantasticke vmbrageous Louer . A bribing corrupt Louer . A froward jealous Louer . A sordid illiberall Louer . A proud skorne-full Louer . An angry quarrelling Louer . A melancholique despairing Louer . An enuious vnquiet Louer . A sensuall brute Louer . All which , in varied , intricate turns , and involu'd mazes , exprest , make the Antimasque : and conclude the exit , in a circle . EVPHEMVS descends singing . Joy , ioy to mortals , the reioycing fires Of gladnes , smile in your dilated hearts ! Whilst Loue presents a world of chast defires , Which may produce a harmony of parts ! Loue is the right affection of the minde , The noble appetite of what is best : Desire of vnion with the thing design'd , But in fruition of it cannot rest . The Father plenty is , the Mother want , Porus , and Penia . Plenty the beauty , which it wanteth , drawes ; Want yeilds it selfe : affording what is scant . So , both affections are the vnion's cause . But , rest not here . For Loue hath larger scopes , New ioyes , new pleasures , of as fresh a date As are his minutes : and , in him no hopes Are pure , but those hee can perpetuate . 〈…〉 re hee 〈…〉 es vp to 〈◊〉 State . To you that are by excellence a Queene ! The top of beauty ! but , of such an ayre , As , onely by the minds eye , may bee seene Your enter-wouen lines of good , and fayre ! Vouchsafe to grace Loues triumph here , to night , Through all the streetes of your Callipolis ; Which by the splendor of your rayes made bright The seate , and region of all beauty is . Loue , in perfection , longeth to appeare But prayes , of fauour , he be not call'd on , Till all the suburbes , and the skirts bee cleare Of perturbations , and th' infection gon . Then will he flow forth , like a rich perfume Into your nostrils ! or some sweeter sound Of melting musique , that shall not consume Within the eare , but run the mazes round . Heere the Chorus walke about with their censers . CHORVS . Meane time , wee make lustration of the place , And with our solemne fires , and waters proue T' haue frighted , hence , the weake diseased race Of those were tortur'd on the wheele of loue . ¹ The glorious , ² whining , ³ the aduenturous foole , ⁴ Phantastique , ⁵ bribing , and the iealous asse 1 The sordid , ² scornefull , ³ and the angry mule4 The melancholique , ⁵ dull , and envious masse , Chorus With all the rest , that in the sensuall schoole Of lust , for their degree of brute may passe . All which are vapor'd hence . The prospect of a Sea appeares . No loues , but slaues to sense : Meere cattell , and not men . Sound , sound , and treble all our ioyes agen , Who had the power , and vertue to remooue Such monsters from the labyrinth of loue . The Triumph is first seene a far of , and led in by Amphitrite , the wife of Oceanus , with foure Sea-gods attending her . NEREVS , PROTEVS , GLAVCVS , PALAeMON . It consisteth of fifteene Louers , and as many Cupids , who ranke themselues seauen , and seauen on a side , with each a Cupid before him , with a lighted torch , and the middle person ( which is his Maiesty , ) placed in the center .

1. The prouident . 2. The iudicious . 3. The secret . 4. The valiant . 5. The witty . 6. The iouiall . 7. The secure . 15. The Heroicall , 8. The substantiall . 9. The modest . 10. The candid . 11. The courteous . 12. The elegant . 13. The rationall . 14. The magnificent .

AMPHITRITE . Heere , stay a while : This ! this The Temple of all Beauty is ! Heere , perfect Louers , you must pay First-fruits ; and on these altars lay ( The Ladies breast's ) your ample vowes , Such , as Loue brings , and Beauty best allowes ! Cho. For Loue , without his obiect , soone is gone : Loue must haue answering loue , to looke vpon . AMPHITRITE . To you , best Iudge then , of perfection ! EVPHEMVS . The Queene , of what is wonder , in the place ! AMPHITRITE . Pure obiect , of Heroique Loue , alone ! EVPHEMVS . The center of proportion — ! AMPHITRITE . Sweetenesse . EVPHEMVS . Grace . ? AMPHITRITE , Daigne to receiue all lines of loue in one . EVPHEMVS . And by reflecting of them fill this space . Cho. Till it a circle of those glories proue , Fit to be sought in Beauty , found by Loue . Semi-cho. Where Loue is mutuall , still All things in order moue , Semi-cho. The circle of the will Is the true spheare of Loue . Cho. Aduance , you gentler Cupids , then aduance , And shew your iust perfections in your daunce . The Cupids dance their dance . And the Masquers their entry . Which done , Euclia , or a faire Glory appeares in the heauens , singing an applausiue song , or Poean of the whole , which shee takes occasion to ingeminate in the second Chorus , vpon the sight of a worke of Neptunes , being a hollow rocke , filling part of the Sea-prospect , whereon the Muses sit . EVCLIAS So loue , emergent out of Chaos brought the world to light ! And gently mouing on the waters , wrought all forme to fight ! Loues appetite Did beauty first excite : And left imprinted in the ayre , Those signatures of good , and faire , CHO. Which since haue flow'd , flow'd forth vpon the sense , To wonder first , and then to excellence , By vertue of diuine intelligence ! The ingemination . EVCLIAS And Neptune too Shewes what his waues can doe : To call the Muses all to play , And sing the birth of Venus day , CHO. Which from the Sea flow'd , forth vpon the sense To wonder first , and next to excellence , By vertue of diuine intelligence ! Here follow the Reuels . Which ended , the Scene changeth to a Garden , and the heauens opening , there appeare foure new persons , in forme of a Constellation sitting , or a new Asterism , expecting Venus , whom they call vpon with this song . IVPITER . IVNO . GENIVS . HYMEN . IVP. Hast daughter Venus hast , and come away : IVN. All powers , that gouerne mariage , pray That you will lend your light GEN. Vnto the constellation of this night . HYM. Hymen . IVN. And Iuno . GEN. And the Genius call , IVP. Your father Iupiter , CHO. And all That blesse , or honnor holy nuptiall . VENVS here appeares in a cloud , and pas through the constellation , descendeth to the earth , when presently the cloud vanisheth , and she is seene sitting in a throane . VENVS . Here , here I present ame Both in my girdle , and my flame : Wherein are wouen all the powers The Graces gaue me , or the Howres ( My nources once ) with all the artes Of gayning , and of holding hearts : And these with I descend . But , to your influences , first commend The vow , I goe to take On earth , for perfect loue and beauties sake ! Her song ended , and she rising to goe vp to the Queene , the Throane disappeares : in place of which there shooteth vp a Palme tree with an imperiall crowne on the top , from the roote whereof , Lillies and Roses , twining together and imbracing the stem , flourish through the crowne , which she in the song , with the Chorus describes . Beauty and Loue , whose story is mysteriall , In yonder Palme-tree , and the Crowne imperiall , Doe from the Rose , and Lilly so delicious , Promise a shade , shall euer be propitious To both the Kingdomes . But to Brittaines Genius The snaky rod , and serpents of Cyllenius Bring not more peace , then these , who so united be By Loue , as with it Earth and Heauen delighted be . And who this King , and Queene would well historify , Need onely speake their names : Those them will glorify . MARY , and CHARLES , CHARLES , with his MARY , named are And all the rest of Loues , or Princes famed are . After this they dance their going out , and end .

Textual Notes

The textual notes below aim at making textual corrections readable in their immediate context and facilitating access to the source text. A five-digit number preceded by 'A' or 'B' represents an EEBO-TCP filenumber. A notation like "6-b-2890" means "look for EEBO page image 6 of that text, word 289 on the right side of the double-page image." That reference is followed by the corrupt reading. A black dot stands for an unidentified letter, a black square for an unidentified punctuation mark, a diamond for a missing word, and the ellipsis for a short span of undefined length. The corrected reading is displayed as a keyword in context.
