OMNIA VINCIT AMOR . ●… S I went forth to view the Spring , 〈…〉 which Flora had adorned : ●… orgious rayment every thing 〈…〉 winters rage out scorned . ●… st mine eye and did espy , 〈…〉 youth that made great clamor , 〈…〉 drawing nigh . I heard him cry 〈…〉 Omnia vincit amor . 〈…〉 his fa●e he lay along , 〈…〉 by a cristal river , ●… ournfully his doleful song 〈…〉 sighs he did deliver : ●… orth her face her comely grace 〈…〉 which no man can shun her , ●… plended rayes cuts off my dayes 〈…〉 Omnia vincit amor . ●… ristal eyes like Comets fair , ●… ight Phebus beams out-shining . 〈…〉 caught my heart in Cupids snare ●… d makes me die with pining , 〈…〉 foolish nature did not well so curiously to f●ame her , 〈…〉 beauty rare makes me with care ●… try O nia vincit amor . ●… ou cristal streams that swiftly glyd , ●… he Partners of my mourning , 〈…〉 fragrant fields and meadows wide condemn har for her scorning . 〈…〉 every tree a witness be , now justly I may blame her , You chanting birds , note these my words its Omnia vincit amor . ●… ad she been kind as she was fair , she might have been admired , 〈…〉 very place without compare , 〈…〉 who hath my death conspired ; Thus said , his breath began to fail , be could not speak but stammer , He sighe● sore , and said no more , but Omnia vincit am●r . Then I perceiv'd him near his death , and ran in haste to save him , But quickly he resign'd his breath , so deep a wound love gave him . Thus for his sake , this vow I 'le make , my tongue shall still defame her . Upon his herse I 'le write this verse its Omnia vincit amor . Thus I considered with my self upon the matter rightly . Though little Cupid he was blind , he prov'd in pith most mighty , Not warlike Mars , nor thundring Jove nor Vulcan with his hammer Durst once gainst and this Boye● command , for Omnia vincit amor . Thus ye may see the fruits of love which gods and men keeps under : That nothing can his bonds remove , nor torments break asunder , There 's not a boy into the school , that scarsce hath learn'd his grammer Upon his book he needs not look , for omnia vincit amor ,
The second Part . GReat prince of love thy force doth move all flesh for to adore thee , Thou breaks thy heart with secret smart that would in silence smart thee , Which makes a Maid to be afraid , while Judges do exame her : She dare not show although she know that Omnia vincit amor . We are but dust , confess we must , no flesh is full perfection : Nature through kind , moves everie mind , to render love subjection . Both King and Laws love binds and draws , no force nor wit can tame her : All yields we see to loves decree , for Omnia vincit amor , Both birds and beasts by love increase , declare themselves most willing , Showing their mind to love inclin'd the air with Echo's filling . Birds sweetly sings , when joy love brings and beasts with crying clamor , Void of all shame , they do proclaim that Omnia vincit amor . All loving things that grows and by land , by sea , and water , To love they yield , who can conceal'd springs its not a monstrous matter . Man will reprove a Womans love , for love they 'l blot and blame herr Although they see that none is free , for Omnia vincit amor . Ungrateful men , why are they then unto our sex so cruel ? Since to the fire of Loves desire , nature it se●f gives fewel . They praise in vain , love to refrain or foolishly defame her ; Love will ere long revenge our wrong since Omnia vincit amor . Hell harbours hate , str●fe and debate , hell breeds and feeds dissentions From thence proceeds all monstrous death envious vile intentions : The Scriptures tell there 's nought in hell . but blasphemy and clamor , There none can pray , ●or yet can say , that Omnia vincit amor . I dare approve , who h●th not love , are Monsters all by nature , Some great defect , no just respect , can make a monstrous crea●ure , To use his tongue love to impunge , as if he could con●le n●●●er Who gave him eyes wherewith he sees that Omnia vincit amor . The glorious Sun dot● restless run , all living things a spiring ; Even so the earth with fruitless birth in love her Lord desiring ; In stately green , enembled been , with colours fine to ●rame her . As she allows to meet h●r Spouse , for omnia vincit amor . Love was the end made Christ desc●nd by love he was con●eived ; Our Lord most hie who lov'd to die ; by love our souls were saved ; The heavens above they bur● for love love was their first inflammer . From that great light our s●uls have fight that Omnia vincit amor . For to be plain , love it the ch●in , holds heaven and earth together . Love made our God to spare his rod and like a loving Father ; To calm his wrath he gives us Faith of Grace and Peace proclaimer , So should we all both great and small cry Omnia vincit amor .
