A POEM on the King and Queen of FAIRY . UPon a time the Fairy Elves , Having first arrayed themselves , Thought it Meet to Cloath their King In Robes most fit for Revelling . He had a Cob-web Shirt more thin ; Then ever Spider since could Spin , Bleach'd in the Whiteness of the Snow When the Northern Winds do blow . In that waste and open Air , No Shirt half so fine or Fair . A Rich Wast-coat they did bring Made of the Trout-flie's Golden Wing . Dy'd Crimson in a Maidens Blush , And lin'd with humming Bees soft Plush , At which his Elveship 'gan to Fret , And Swore 't would cast him in a Sweat . He for his coolness needs would wear , A Wast-coat made of Downy-Hair , When taken from an Eunuchs Chin . It pleas'd him well , 't was Wond'rous thin . His Hat was all of Ladies Love , So passing Light that it would move , If any Gnat or Humming fly But beat the Air in passing by . About it went a Wreath of Pearl Dropt from the Eyes of some poor Girl , Pincht because she had forgot To leave clean Water in the Pot . His Breaches and his Cassock were Made of the Tinsell Garsummer , Down its Seam there went a Lace , Drawn by an Unctious Snail's slow pace .
On the QUEEN . NO sooner was their King attyr'd As never Prince had been , But , as in duty was requir'd , They next Array their Queen . Of Shinning Threed shut from the Sun And Twisted into line , On the light Wheel of Fortune Spun , Was made her Smock so fine . Her Gown was very Coloured fair , The Rain-Bow gave the dip ; Perfumed by an Amber Air Breath'd from a Virgins Lip . The Stuff was of a Morning dawn When Phaebus did but peep , But by a Poets Pencil drawn In Chloris lap a Sleep . Her Vail was White and pale Fac'd by Invented by a Maid . When she ( poor Soul ) by some bad Spy Had newly been betray'd . Her Neck-Lace was of Subtile tye Of Glorious Atoms set . In the pure Black of Beautys Eye As they had been in Jet . Her Shoes were all of Maiden Heads So passing Thin and Light . That all her care was how to Trade , A thought had burst them quite . The Revels ended she put off , Because her Grace was Warm , 〈…〉 ●●th a Ladi●● 〈◇〉 〈…〉 ●o H●rm .
MOnticolae quondam Lamiae circumdatae amictu Corpora praetenui choreis & lusibus apto ; Talibus inde suum Regem quoque vestibus ornant Quae deceant numerosque leves Festasque choreas . Ejus araneoli scutulata subucula Filo Rarior , eximiae quod texuit artis Arachne : Intactaeque nivis fuit insolata nitore , Quam rigidus gelidâ Boreas diffundit ab Arcto . Nec sub Hyperboreo tam pura cam●sia tractu Usque adeò tenuis tamque alba apparuit usquam Proxima cura fuit tunicellam imponere Regi Hepiali textam mire ex aurantibus alis . Virginis eximiae roseo quae tincta rubore ; Atque apis Hybleae duplicata est vellere molli : Tum fremere & jurare Heros gestamine tanto Pressus , & exili manare a Corpore sudor . Post , refrigerij causa , subtile theristrum Curari fecit consutum more d●coro , Nuper ab eunuchi malâ & lanugine sumptum : Hoc placuit , quia erat tenui Subtemine textum . Ejus erat ( capitis tegumentum Insigne ) galerus Ut Referunt , è Femineo conflatus amore ; Qui levis usque adeo fuit ut sine fine moveret Aera si Cynips vel praetereundo feriret . Ambijt hunc circum speciosa & Gemmea spirae Ex oculis tenerae tremulis modo lapsa Puellae , Quam malè multarunt Lemures quod linquere in oll● Oblita est puras , nocturno tempore lymphas . Denique fiebant saga cum Femoralibus ejus Lineolâ è tenui per summa cacumina campi Extensâ , quorum suturam rara tegebat Jnstita ducta pigri limacis tramite pingui .
In Reginam . POstquam Rex tali fuit Insignitus amictu Membra cui Regum nulla tulere parem Mox etiam , veluti ratio poscebat & aequum Reginae parili corpora veste tegunt . Illius ex Auro clarâ de lumine solis Emisso scite facta erat interula . Stamina cujus erant solerti pollice ducta , Sortis in amb●guae torta levique rotâ . Palla fuit qualem spectabilis induit Iris , Quam varijs radijs pingit Apollo suis . Talis odor qualis fragranti spirat ab ambra , Halitus aut qualis Virginis esse solet . Materies fuit Aurorae de lumine primo Phoebus ubi Eois surgit Honorus aquis . Peniculo vatis qui pingebatur amatae Chloridis in Gremio membra quiete levans . Candidulumque habuit velamen , pallidulumque dextra Puellaris texuit illud opus , Qui color idem erat ac pellucet in ore Puella Prodita ab infausto quae modo forte Viro . Illjus orba decens ornabat colla monile Formosam pulchris conspicuisque Atomis , Quae velut in puro nigroque nagagate suissent Imposita miris emicuere modis . Calceo lique sui perquam tenuesque levesque Facti de claustris Virginitatis erant . His Igitur verita est incedere , namque pusillas Sensus amoris eos rumperet absque mora . Ludis ex●ctis , quoniam sudore madebat Confestim vestes exuit ipse suas . Et se Fem●●eo V●n●avit scommate da● 〈◇〉 Nec quidquam da●●ni pertuli● in 〈◇〉
