PROSOPOPOEIA . Or , A CONFERENCE held at Angelo Castle , between the Pope , the Emperor , and the King of Spaine . Pope . WElcome deare Sonnes , vnto our court of Rome , blessing Apostolique and holy doome , sheild all the house of Austria from mischanee , And both their fortunes and your crownes advance . Emperour . Thy feet most holy Father doe I kisse . Of Church benediction if I misse , th' Imperiall Crowne from Austria will be gone , which heav'n forbid : for then w' are all vndone . Bohemias rebells with Hungaria joyne the Hereticks from Danow to the Rhine , their heades , their armes , their forces they combine , 'gainst Rome and Austria : Oh the Palatine ! that cursed Calvinist with his partakers , those damned Schismaticks the Church forsakers , vpon our ruynes seeke to build their fortune , which makes me thus your Holines importune . Pope . The keyes of Peter , and the sword of Paul , shall shut , and open , cutt in sunder all : the gates of heaven , nations lawes , and rights , and turne cleere daies , into the darkest nights ; ere one of Caluines , or of Luthers sect , with Romaine Bayes , or Aegles shall be deckt . Emperour . The threates and curses of the Catholiques , are now despis'd by these vile Heretiques : help by your counsell therefore Holy Sir , and shew us meanes to quiet all this stir . Pope . Thou maist by reasons , and Embassages , by questions , answers , and like passages , winne time a while , but these are out of date : Now swordes , not wordes , doe Kingdomes arbitrate . To neighbour friends , and subjects quickly send , that from surprise , thou maist thy selfe defend . My Nuntios and my Legats I le dispatch , more forces'mongst the Catholiques to hatch , Ments , Colen , Trier , Catholique Baviere , hast thou in Germany , with other there ; Thy vncle Albert , and the Polish King , vnto thee quickly may their forces bring . And though my selfe with Florence may not send our armes so soone ; yet money will we lend . The Cantons of the Switzers shall be wag'd , which to our See doe holde themselves engag'd ; so is the Saxon Duke with his estate , to thee in Dresden and th' Electorate , whose elder cosins hopes will make him feare , and to thy fortunes , and thy house adhere : I le also send to Savoy , and to Venice , to France our eldest sonne , and to S. Dennice , I le fetch the saints from heav'n , The fiends from hell , Flectere si nequeo sisperos , A●…eronta mouebe . but I le those drunken Germane traytors quell : Besides thy Spanish cosin present here , whome Europe and the new found world doe feare , the Churches Atlas , and the Empires prop , by strength , by wit , by friends , or golde will stop these proud attempts and darings of the Dutch , and break their forces , cost it nere so much . K. of Spaine . If Caesar and your Holines have donne , obserue the answer of your Spanish sonne . Not Germane Prelates , nor Bavarie can , nor King of Pole , your selfe , nor any man , nor Tuskans Duke , nor Albert my poore brother , nor Cantons Catholique , nor any other , bring timely succours , gainst the conjuration those Almaigne Graves have made in every Nation . Expect not help from Savoy , nor Venetia , who feare and deadly hate the house of Austria . I looke for nothing from my sonne of France , for if he saw vs downe hee 'd sing and dance . And why should you from Saxon hope for more , then Charles my grandsire reap'd from his before ; who gave him all , and more then you doe mention : yet shortly after in the great contention , twixt him and Germane rebels , he forsooke his Benefactor , and against him tooke . And Caesar if at home thou look'st for ayde , thy Kingdomes both are lost , thy strength decayde . Thine Austrian subjects also are infected with Luthers heresie , and have rejected the Papall dignitie , and may doe thine , and with their fellow Lutherans combine , and if for succour thou doe send to Thracia ; the faithlesse Turkes , thou know'st doe not loue Austria . Spayne then must help , or what will Caesar doe ? and how shall Spaine helpe Rome and Caesar too ? Shall Indian armies , be recall'd from thence , Italian forces march away from hence , leave Millaine , Naples , and our siluer fountaines vngarded , naked , to march ore the mountaines ? Through Grisons countrey lead the strength of Spaine , or venture our Armada once againe , to narrow Seas , and so at once loose more then we haue got , in sixscore yeares before ? So thou at Auspourgh , I in Arragon may shave our crownes , turne Monks , and liue alone . You count your friends , but count not all your foes , whose strength , whose number , you cannot oppose : The Northern tract of Europe from Britania , tending to East , as farre as Transilvania , ( save Poleland and some trifles ) is their owne , aye me , in fourescore yeres how they are growne . Their Kingdomes , England , Scotland , Ireland , bee , with Denmarke , Norway , Sweden , six you see : besides those two which they have wonne from thee , being eight in all , and our Kings are but three . The number of their Princes , Dukes , and Countes , with their free Lords , and States , ours farre surmounts : besides their many Palsgraves , and Burghgraves , with all their Lantgraves , Reingraves , and Markgraves . And as their numbers , so their spirits are , made great with hopes , 〈◊〉 1618. by the Prodigious starre : which Blazed over Almaigne last December , portending change of states ; and I remember their expositions , and their calculations of times , of Scriptures , and of situations . of Rome , of Babel , and of hilles and dales , of beasts and dragons , and such fearefull tales : wherewith they cheare themselves , and their new King , as if they Victors were , and bells doe ring . Alas for Rome , alas for Ferdinand , Alas for Philip , must he needes withstand his owne , the Empires , and the Churches foes , and so himselfe , the Church and Empire lose ? Haue all my Ancestors to fiue descents , by Conquest , wedlock , and like ligaments , ty'de Earledomes , Dukedomes , Crownes and Empire fast , hoping for Westerne Monarchie at last : and is the period of our greatnes past , and our declyning now begin to hast ? Ah Nassau , Nassau , hatefull Sonne and Father ; Curst be your name and house , you , you did gather the hatefull rebells , into warlike bands : who now doe State it in our Netherlands . There , there you wrote nil Vltra once againe , and set vp Esterne pillars , barres to Spaine . Emperour . Thus are our dangers , thus our feares related : thus be our mindes perplext , our hearts amated . If Rome haue any secret wisedome hid layd vp for wicked times , or euer did make wicked heretiques feele Churches power , then Father now 's the time and this the houre . Remember how two Fredericks heretofore ‛ frighted thy predecessors , this may more hazard thy fortunes , vtterly suppresse the Romane Church , thy selfe , and vs ( vnlesse by some prime Stratageme ) fetcht from the deepe thou dost thy selfe and friends from danger keepe . Pope . And are our friends so few and so vntrustie ? and be our foes so many and so lustie ? One Innocent of ●ome in former ages , hath us'd three Kings for lackeys and for pages : And dare they now against our liking make both Kings and Kaesars ? then you furies wake : Help me to store of pistols , poysons , knives , to fyre and powder , manacles and gives . Bid Ravilltack and Clement hye them hither , Let Gerad , Faux , and Garnet come togither ; Come ye Ignatians bring Assasinates , left handed Ehuds , that doe rule the fates , and cut the threds of Princes lives a sunder : these Romane Scauola's shall make men wonder to see the upstart King with his partakers , in euery nation slaughtred by massacres . I le raise up Swarez , 3. Famous Iesuites . Parsons , Bellar mine , Loyallas-selfe their father : and refine all humane witt to one pure quintessence , against whose vertue shal be no defence . Therefore fayre Sonnes at nothing be dismay'd , remember what your Father now hath sayd : You to Vienna , you to Civil goe , helpe as you may to giue the fatall blowe . K. of Spaine . Come LLerma : looke not sadly on thy friend But let 's with Spanish patience waite the end .
