TO HIS EXCELLENCE RICHARD Earle of ARRAN &c. LORD DEPUTY of IRELAND ,

A POEM .

— Nec deficit alter Aureus , & simili frondescit virga metallo .

DVBLIN , Printed at His Majesties Printing-House for Joseph Wild Bookseller in Castle-Street . 1682.

To His Excellence Richard Earl of Arran , Lord Deputy of Ireland : On the occasion of His Grace James Duke of Ormonde &c. Lord Lieutenant of the same , ( His father 's ) going for England , And leaving the Government to him . HEnce the nice Witts that are so squeamish grown , Nothing will down with them , but what 's their own : It has been said ( yet tax'd ) I freeze , and burn , And the same instant , both rejoyce , and mourn And why ( I pray ) mayn't different notes agree ? Take away discords , where 's the Harmony ? Both are met here : We mourn , one Sun gone East , And joy , Another rising in the West : Such — such , as had the Antient Persian View'd the Parelia , this double Sun Had made him stagger at the smart surprise , Nor yet resolv'd , divide his sacrifice . 'T is now past twenty times since th' Ormonde stem First brancht it self in such a Princely Beam ; And may it yet encrease ; and multiply It's scatter'd rayes , into a Galaxy . Spread-Eagles joyn in body ; Lucifer , And Vesper , are the same alternate Star : The Elements , Castor and Pollux too , Relieve each other , and in that , still new . Nature had never made a second day , Without a nights repose ; that short allay , Stampt us another , and that timely care Stept in , and sav'd the Infant-World's despair . And now , 't is but a day from Sun , to Sun ; The one takes up , the other , holds it on : Seasons , to Seasons give a fresh supply ; The year absolv'd , comes the Epiphany . Such Your most noble Father ( Sir's ) with you ; He closes one , and you , begin the new : And , be his Motions , yours , I 'll boldly say , The Sun withdrew , and yet We lost no day . J. Wilson .
