TO IMMORTALIZE THE NOBLE MEMORIE OF THE right honourable young Lords IAMES and CHARLES Egerton , both Vicounts of Brackley , both onely Heires to the Earledome of Bridgwater , and both onely sonnes to that Noble Earle , by his gracious and Princely Ladie , Frances Countesse of Bridgwater , a fruitfull branch of the ancient house of Darbie , and Noble familie of the Spencers .

ABRAHAM DARCIE Consecrates these French and English verses to their Etermizing and worthy remembrance , wishing to the third Lord Vicount of Brackley now liuing , Nestors long and happie yeares , and all prosperitie to all that illustrious and religious Familie .

FAire beames of short continuance , yet most bright , If your wisht luster , and desired light , Hath had too sudden and vntimely end , Such destiny doth on faire things attend . A morning is the Roses chiefest prime , And flower-de-luces dye in blooming time . There 's nothing that is permanent on earth , The Sunne whose operation gaue you birth , And did produce you in this worldly stage , To be reformers of this vicious age . That splendent lampe as time will proue it true , Shal haue his setting , loose his light like you . It is a lucky chance in stormes and wind , If neare the shore we do an harbour find , For since necessitie doth so ordaine , That our fraile ship must perish in the maine , It 's best , when as such shipwrack soone betides , Ere a sharpe rocke haue split her wodden sides . Faire fires , when I your palled ashes see , All I can do , is to blame destinie : And to condemne the fatall vniust ire , Which would not suffer me as I desire , To pay vnto your life that seruice , I Do now performe to your dead memorie . Euen as the Salamanders do expire , Taken a litle from the ardent fire , And liue best in the greatest heate of flame , So your rare Beauties , whose admired frame , Drew nourishment from heau'n , here soone did die , Being so farre remoued from the skie . Either your molds shold haue bin lesse diuine Or else your formes eternally should shine . For the more pleasure that a worthie thing Vnto the mind of any man doth bring , When thereof one doth the fruition lose , Griefe stronger is , and teares are more profuse . BEaux Rayons plus clairs que durables , Si vos lumiers desirables , On eut leur fin en commencant , C'est le Destin des belles choses . Vn matin est l'aage des Roses , Et les Lis meurent en naissant . Icy long temps rien ne peut estre , Le beau Soleil qui vous feit naistre , Duquel en siecle si meschant , L'Orient vous fut necessaire . Subiect à la reigle ordinaire , Comme vous aura son couchant . Cest beaucoup d'heur quand il arriue , Qu'on trouue le port dés la riue : Car puis qu'aussy bien le vaisseau : Doit perir , cest nostre aduantage , S'il aduient qu'il face naufrage , Auant qu'il face encore l'Eau . Beaux Feux en voyant vostre cendre , Ce que ie puis c'est de reprendre , La Rigueur inuiste du sort , Qui n'a permis à mon enuie , Que ie fisse pour vostre vie , Ce que ie fay pour vostre mort . Comme les Salamandres meurent , Quand vn moment elle demeurent Hors du feu , qui les fait durer , Voz Beautez de qui la Nature Du ciel auoit sa nourriture , Hors du ciel n'ont peu demeurer . Mais vous deuiez naistre moins belles , Ou vous deuiez naistre immortelles : Car tant plus qu'vnbien est plaisant , Et qu'il donne plus d'esperance , Quand on en perd la iouissance , Le regret en est plus cuisant .
