TO THE AVTHOR . GO prosecute that sacred course of thine , And vse the subiect that 's vnusde too long . The frutefull treasures of a rich Ingyne , That 's spent approuing right disprouing wrong , May make diuinitie seeme more diuine : Whilst by a rauishde soule diuinelie song : This in all myndes doth great delight infuse , To heare things heauenlie of an heauenlie muse . W. A. of Menstrie .
TO THE HONOVRABLE LADIE OF HIGHEST HOPE MISTRESSE Ieane Hammiltone , Ladie Skirling .

HOnourable Ladie , hauing nothing of worth to present your Ladishippe , I haue presumde to offer to the Schryne of your gratious clemencie the humble sacrifice of my deuote sinceritie : whereby I haue bewrayed rather a will to obey , then any skill to deserue your Ladiships protection . For ( well I wotte ) these few disordered lynes are too weake a prop to beare the burthene of your al-fleing fame . Yet calling to mynde your Ladiships worthie disposition , I am perswaded my attempts will rather be buryed in silence , nor smyled at with disdaine , and the rather be bucaus I am obligate your Ladieships in all dewties euer and euer .

From Cambusnethane the xxv of December . Iames Cockburne .
INVOCATION . WHat tyme the Cock with wyde displayed wing Did beate his breast , and then proclame the day : His peirsing note vnto my thoughts did bring My dewties all , and first how I should pray . Then on my knees I turnde me where I lay , With mourning speech euen thus I did begin : O Lord , I thee beseech thy iustice stay : Call not to mynde the lyfe I liued in . Grant me thy spirite that I may rightlie rin Vnto that Lambe that did thine regor mease , To off●r thee by him for highest sin A broken heart for burning sacrifyce : Then I besought that all the three in one , The worke would blesse my pen had vndergone .
TO THE HONOVRED LADIE OF HIGHEST HOPE MISTRESSE IEANE HAMmiltone Ladie Skirling . NOT to the worldling waltring in his wealth , Nor to the vsurer recounts his gaine : Not to the sicke , whose thoght is on his health , Nor to the insolent of lyfe prophane : Not to the ignorant of brutish braine , Nor to the stupide Stoick will I send thee : Not to the learnde , whose knowledge with disdaine Will scorne the Poet that so lowrdlie pende thee : Not vnto babes , whose age cannot defend thee , Nor siluer-seeking Minstrels for to sing : Not vnto careles men , who when they end thee , Vnclosde will thee within some window sling : But to a Ladie sweet I will thee offer , Who hauing reade thee , closlie will thee coffer . THEN fairest faire , whose matchles maners mylde , And hautie thoughts dimerites high affection : Who might haue beene the mother of that Childe , If any Gentile had beene in election . But since it is ( I speake it with correction ) Thou art no Iew , but in the Iew indented By grace , loue , mercie and by free adoption Of that great God our miserie preuented : Then praise his Name the way so well inuented , Praise thou the spirite that sanctified the birth , Praise Iesus Christ so freelie that consented To cloath his god-hoode with the filthie earth : Praise all the three , they onely craue Peccaui , Changde hopeles Eua in an happie Aue.
GABRIELL HIS SALVTATION TO MARIE . 1. OVT from the orders of the Angels all Sings holie hymnes about the throne of grace , The Lord commands to come vnto his call The winged Gabriell , straight to embrace An happie charge for Eues vnhappie race : Who since hir husbands fall had lyen within The foule alluring baytes of filthie sin . 2. Swiftlie he came , sweetlie the Lord did say , Thou that hes oft my message borne in yre Kings to destroy , and countries did deny My god-hoode great , with hote consuming fyre : Go now in peace , let all thy rich attyre Be Azure hew , bright starres therein thou fix , I will my justice with my mercie mix . 3. I will redeeme , recall , I will reclame , Not by desert , but by adoption ; Not for their merites but my glories Name , No not compelde , but at my option The house of Iacob by my onelie Sonne , Borne of a Mayde , and the beleeuers all That breathes beneath my euer-mouing Ball. 4. I will perfite my promise made indeede To the first man through facilnes that fell : That his begot should bruse the serpents head , Whose birth in bewtie should the rest excell , Then where that Virgine rests I will thee tell , Of all the Tribes that I haue taine for chose , The famous Nazareth doth her enclose . 5. Pure are her thoughts , chaste are her actions all Firme is her faith , and feruentlie doth pray : Diuine in Spirite , deuote on me to call : Resolu'd in heart , at euerie houre to pay The death her dew , or yet content to stay : So are her vertues knowne , so flyes her fame , Betrothde she is , blest Marie heght her name . 6. Salute the mayde with humble dewties dew , Discharge my charge with reuerence and feare : Seene shall it be ( although it seeme vntrew ) That of my Sonne she is the mother deare : For when with glorie great thou drawes neare And warbles forth thy voice , thou shall perceaue The holie Spirite the Sauiour conceaue . 7. Thus said the Lord , when Eoles windie Fanne The weeping dew from tender trees had rent , And when the horned-Moone with visage wanne Her borrowed light had back to Tytan sent , That all the night before he had her lent : And this he said , while all the hoste of heauen Proclaimde his glore for such commission giuen . 8. And hauing said , his armes abroad he threw , And blest the messinger before him lay : Then silent sat , away the Angell flew , And in the Aire his wings did wyde display : He claue the cloudes and cut the vapors gray , He made the heauens admire , the waters wonder , To see his glore , and heare his thuds of thunder . 9. With holie Canticles and hymnes he sings The ioyfull newes of mans saluation , In flames of fyre were grauen betweene his wings The Birth , the Buriall , and the Passion The Death , the Rysing and Conception , Of Iesus Christ , yea and the totall summe Of all his wondrous works that were to come . 10. Dronke with delights , sweete Nazareth he soght , That place he compast thryfe aroud and ouer , In Maries presence shortlie is he broght , Graue was his grace , while he on wing did houer , At last his heauen-borne sight he did vncouer : And with a shudder all the house he spangled , With twinkling dew vnto his plumes were tangled . 11. Amazde at first , but not greatlie agast , To see his glorie great , she changed hew : A blushing rednes swiftlie came and past And dayntilie her whitenes did subdew The lightning rayes that from her eye-lids flew , When sodaine ioy made tumbling teares ouerflow , Would soone haue set an heape of hearts on low . 12. The first seene signe of her trew chastitie Round fleeting flew , and cannopyed her skinne , Two frothie globes of equall quantitie Playde on her breast , with vaynes blew , blushing , thin : Her tempting mouth aboue her dimpled chin , Her rankes of pearle , her halfe vp-spreading Roses Still other kist , while still each other closes . 13. Betweene the branches of her bodie lay Great Egypts wonders in the holie Print : Whereon she reade , and hauing reade would stay To meditate , how Moses meeke was sent To that proud Prince , who neuer would repent , Till all his Chariotes , wheeles and Assle trees Indented were with sandes amidst the seyes . 14. Whiles would she turne and ouer-turne the leafe , Whiles grauelie gather vp some sentence darke : Whiles sadlie sit twixt doubting and beleefe , How the first age was closde within an Arke : Whiles with her foremest ioynt she would remarke The trimbling sacrifice that Abram old Made of his tender Sonne with courage bold . 15. At last her heart did kindle vp her spirite : Her spirite commanded both her knees to bow . On yeelding knees the Lord she did intreate , Her pithie prayers pure he would allow , Which in his presence there she did avow : Desyring that in heart he would resolue The apprehensions high she did reuolue . 16. What meanes the brough so round about her hang , Whose glancing rayes ●…ew Opall changing hewes ? What meanes the winged spirite so sweetlie sang , The second Ad●… 〈◊〉 with ioyfull newes ? What boy it is my ●…ped spirite 〈◊〉 ? With Angels eyes , what 〈◊〉 these words of mirth Glorie to God , and peace to 〈…〉 17. At these her words her 〈◊〉 , her 〈◊〉 His beauties blaze forbade her to admire For loe the sanct , his message to ●…fold Proclamde these ●…ggied words with ●…yling cheare , Hayle Virgine pure , 〈◊〉 Dauids daughter deare , Hayle well of 〈…〉 The Lambe 〈…〉 18. Hayle Marie mylde replenished with grace , Beloued of God , 〈◊〉 of all the 〈◊〉 That of the bleeting Eues of Adams race , This onelie blessing great ●…ngs to thee : Then to discharge thi message giuen to mee , I blesse thy actions all , I blesse thy name , I blesse that blessed babe springs of thy wambe . 19. The holie , happie salutation giuen , New admirations through her fenses ran , With thoughts confusde and stented eyes to heuaen Vnto the winged Spirite she thus began Am I a mother neuer knew a man ? Or with the scornefull maydes shall I be loathed , Whose onelie fault is this , I was betrothed . 20. Free flees my thoughts , vnspotted is my fame , I loath all companie that may allure , I ballance not my pleasures with my shame : With Iepthes girle I liue a Virgine pure , I scorne to be enrold as Sichems hure : Therefore the Lord in his appoynted day Will grant saluation to this tent of clay . 21. I neuer went to see nor to be seene , To Tymbrell sound I neuer caroll song : I neuer danced in Cabinet nor greene , Short passages , nor mouing Measures long , Earings of gold in treasse neuer hang Lyke twinkling stars , I neuer learnde to smyle With rolling eyes , nor ●…rging ●…earde style . 22. I neuer shew my snow-white swelling globes , To giue the insolent the more ●…yte I neuer walked in silken shyning robes , The feeders : of our fa●ill appetyte : Dittayes of loue I neuer did indyte , I neuer vsde perfumde nor paynted face , Nor ●…ted Courtlie beck with minsing pace . 23. No Marie , no , thy spotles thoughtes are knowne , Thy faith is seene to the al-seeing eye : Through all the earth thy blessings shall be showne , Then feare thou not reprochfull in fa●…ie , The Spirite in God shall ouer-shadow thee : By him thou shalt conceaue that Holie one , That sit for euer shall on Dauids throne . 24. Great shall he be , his Kingdome shall not moue , Ouer all the house of lacob shall he sway : All power shall be granted him aboue , The corners of the earth shall him obey , The Gentile Kings to him shall tribute pay Vpon their knees in honour of his birth , At Bethlem , with gold , incense and mirth . 25. Heauens soldiers shall scumme the toplesse skyes , And sound the phamphere of his fame on hie : Preists , Propheits , Patriarks with holie cryes , That night about poore sheepherds heads shall flie : The Angels and Archangels in degrie , And winged Cherebins with warbling voice , Round in a ring shall mightelie reioyce . 26. With all the blessed troupes Hyerarchies , As powers , thrones and dominations : Blest Serphins and Principalities , Victorious Martyres with immortall Crownes , Young innocents pure virgine whose renownes Gainst all assaults haue keept their chastitie , As mid-wyue skild that office shall supplie . 27. Now while these melodies shall mountaines moue , And euerie Angell shall another leade : This wonder wondrous for to approue , Each sheepherd shall tune on an oaten reade , With lylting lowde fast home-ward shall they speede : And cause the countrie people all conueene , To praise the Lord , for wonders by them seene . 28. Then shall the Ocean tumble vp her sand , And prease her bounds to breake , thy Sonne to see : The wandring starres shall twinkling ouer him stand , Which was the guyde to Herodes Princes three : The fyrie lampe of heauens blew Cannopie Lest he be last his seruice to aduance , Shall giue thy babe good-morrow with a glance . 29. All flesh shall fold , all Nations shall haue peace , Sybillaes prophesies no faith shall haue . By him the Delphin Oracle shall cease , The Gentiles gods no longer shall deceaue : And if thou would of me this question craue , What name he heght these errours shall expell ? Manie they are , but first Immanuell . 30. The Gentiles hope , and Iacobs morning starre , The rocke of rayne , and the corner stone : The flower of Iesse , that doth sent so farre , The trew-Messias and that holie one : The Prince of peace , the Resurrection A Christ , a Iesus and a Sauiour , A Lambe , a Silo and a great Pastour . 31. The furnisher of faith , the mercie sait , The Sanctuarie great of mans refuge , The Lords annoynted and his rewler great The word , the way , the Prophete and the Iudge : The Ruther of the Arke in the deludge : The bread of lyfe , the Alpha and the end , The Doue that Noe in his Ambassage send . 32. The well of lyfe the bread sent down from heauen , His Fathers Image bewtifull and faire , Brightnes it selfe , to whome all glore is giuen : The first begotten and his Fathers Aire : The serpent strong the helles all-spuilzier The bishoppe of our soules and brother deare , Blest be thy bellie such a babe doth beare . 33. Now while this winged Spirite had told this tale , The sweete alluring lookes and comelie grace , The mayde that at his entrie seemed pale Shynde lyke the birneist beames of Tytans face , Dread left her thoghts , feare gaue high ioy the place , Her eyes , eares , heart , and tongue were all content Vnto his happie charge to giue consent . 34. Thou the Creator of all creature : That formed the globe , the morning and the nights , That set the seyes , and made the aire so pure , That spangled all the heauens with fyrie lights , Confirme thy promise made in all our sights : And let thy hand-mayde finde that happie blessing Which Israels Dames could not obtain by wishing . 35. With hyssope purge and purifie my heart , Direct thy Spirite to cloath me with his wings : Thy graces great on me , pure me impart , Mount vp my earthlie thoghts to heauenlie things : And since that I euen of the King of Kings , The mother am , Lord lift my voice on hie , With some sweete song thy name to magnifie . 36. As this he said , the sweete renewing Ghost Cled with a cloud begouth to doe his dew , With glorie great he fild the house almost , Like to a Turtle white his Image grew : Betwene the Angell and the mayd he flew With soft , sweete , sober course , and then did light Betwene her lips , then vanisht out of sight : 37. O far-fetcht fainting breath , ô chiuering chin , O flightring heart , and eyes entombe in teares , O hollow warbling throate , now now begin With neuer tyring tune to fill the eares Of euerie creature my blessing heares : O happie soule , see thou these verses warpe , Lyke these sometymes were sung to Dauids Harpe . MARIES SONG . THE Heauens eternall al-foreseeing King , Our thoughts deepe searcher , Natures father great The worlds strong Mouer , founder of all thing Within the round and the infernall pit : Strange graces hes he granted vnto me , That without sin I should sing lullabie . From high he hes beheld my pure estate , And made my flightring Spirite his praise proclame . His kindnes hes no periode nor date , To all him loues , all holie be his name , The proud he hes despysed for loue of me , And bids me sing on high sweete lullabie . He hes deiect the mightie from their thrones , And mounted humble hearts of poorest spirite : Refresht he hes the hunger-steruing bones Of simple soules lay begging by the streete , He hes sent downe his Angell vnto me , And bids me rock the babe with lullabie . That happie promise now he will fulfill , Made in sweete Edens glauncing gardene gay To Abram on the sacrificing hill . To him whose Harpe draue Saules euill spirit away : He hes resolude the mother I should be To his deare deare , and sing sweete lullabie . For which sweete song the gwerdone shall be giuen , When hopelesse age hes poynted out my end , The fourth place in the Diamantiue heauen , Where troupes of winged spirites shall me attend : And on the earth each age shall speake of me , For singing their sweete Sauiours lullabie . FINIS .
