“ He knows no ill; those pangs, base men, are To me, and all the world, save him alone; (due But now he doth not hear my bitter moan;

SONNETS AND MADRIGALS. Too late I cry, too late I plaints renew: Pale are his lips, down doth bis head decline, Dim turn those eyes once wont so bright to shine.

SONNET. “ The Heavens which in their mansions constant move,

LET Fortune triumph now, and lo sing,
That they may not seem guilty of this crime, Sith ( must fall beneath this load of care ;
Benighted have the golden eye of time. [prove, Let her what most I prize of ev'ry thing

Ungrateful Earth, canst thou such shame ap- Now wicked trophies in her temple rear.
And seem unmov'd, this done upon thy face?" She who high palmy empires doch not spare,
Earth trembled then, and she did hold her peace. And tramples in the dust the proudest king ;

Let her vaunt how my bliss she did impair,
To what low ebb she now my flow doth bring:

Let her count how (a new Ixion) me
COMPLAINT OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN.

She in her wheel did turn; how high or low The mother stood, with grief confounded,

I never stood, but more to tortur'd be. Near the cross; her tears abounded,

Weep soul, weep plaintful soul, thy sorrows know; Wbile her dear son hanged was,

Weep, of thy tears till a black river swell, Through whose soul her sighs forth venting,

Which may Cocytus be to this thy Hell. Sadly mourning and lamenting,

Sharpest pojnts of swords did pass :
O how sad and how distress'd

SONNET.
Was the mother, ever-bless'd,
Who God's only Son forth brought!

NIGHT, clear night, O dark and gloomy day! She in grief and woes did languish,

woeful waking! O soul-pleasing sleep! Quaking to behold what anguish

O sweet conceits which in my brains did creep! To her noble Son was wrought.

Yet sour conceits wbich went so soon away.
A sleep I had more than poor words can say ;

Por, clos'd in arms, methought I did thee keep,
DEDICATION OF A CHURCH.

A sorry wretch plung'd in misfortunes deep.

Am I not wak'd, when light doth lyes bewray? JERUSALEM, that place divine,

O tbat that night had ever still been black ! The vision of sweet peace is nam'd,

O that that day had never yet begun ! In Heaven her glorious turrets shine,

And you, mine eges, would ye no time saw sun! Her walls of living stones are fram'd;

To have your sun in such a zodiac: While angels guard her on each side,

Lo, what is good of life is but a dream, Fit company for such a bride.

When sorrow is a never ebbing stream. She, deck'd in new attire from Heaven,

Her wedding chamber now descends,
Prepar'd in marriage to be given

SONNET.
To Christ, on whom her joy depends.
Her walls wherewith she is enclos'd,

So grievous is my pain, su painful life,
And streets, are of pure gold compos’d.

That oft I find me in the arms of death;

But, breath half gone, that tyrant called Death, The gates, adorn'd with pearls most bright, Who others kills, restoretb me to life: The way to hidden glory show;

For while I think how woe shall end with life, And thither, by the blessed might

And that I quiet peace shall 'joy by death, Of faith in Jesus' merits, go

That thought ev'n doth o'erpow'r the pains of death, All these who are on Earth distress'd,

And call me home again to loathed life: Because they have Christ's name profess'd. Thus doth mine evil transcend both life and death,

While no death is so bad as is my life, These stones the workmen dress and beat,

Nor no life such which doth not end by death, Before they throughly polish'd are ;

And Protean changes turn my death and life: Then each is in his proper seat

O happy those who in their birth find death, Establish'd by the builder's care,

Sith but to languish Heaven affordeth life,
In this fair frame to stand for ever,
So join'd that them no force can sever.

SONNET.

To God, who sits in highest seat,

Glory and power given be;
To Father, Son, and Paraclete,

Who reign in equal dignity ;
Whose boundless pow'r we still adore,
And sing their praise for evermore.

I CURSE the night, yet do from day me hide,
The Pandionian birds I tire with moans;
The echoes even are wearied with my groans,
Since absence did me from my bliss divide.

INTER VITARVAM ET NEBERNAM.

Each dream, each toy, my reason doth affright;
And when remembrance reads the curious scroll

POLEMO-MIDDINIA
Of past contentments caused by her sight,
Then bitter anguish doth invade my soul,
While thus I live eclipsed of her light.
O me! what better am I than the mole?

NYMPHAB, quæ colitis highissima monta Fifaea, Or tbose whose zenith is the only pole,

Seu vos Pittenwema tenent, seu Crelia crofta, Whose hemisphere is hid with so long night? Sive Anstraea domus, ubi nat Haddocus in undis, Save that in earth he rests, they hope for sun; Codlineusque ingens, ubi Fleucca et Sketta pererrant I pine, and find mine endless night begun.

Per costam, et scopulis Lobster monifootus in udis
Creepat, et in mediis ludit Whitenius undis :
Et vos Skipperii, soliti qui per mare breddum

Swellant in pelago, cum Sol bootatus Edenum While all about do sing,

Postabat radiis madidis et shouribus atris,
I at the root, thou on the branch above,
Even weary with our moans the gaudy spring ;
Yet these our plaints we do not spend in vain, Quo viso ad fechtæ noisam cecidere volucres
Sith sighing zephyrs answer us again.

Ad terram, cecidere grues, plish plashque dedere
Solgoosa in pelago prope littora Bruntiliana ;
Sea-sutor obstupuit, summique in margine saxi

Scartavit prælustre caput, wingasque flapavit ;
SONNET.

Quodque magis, alte volitans Heronius ipse

Ingeminans clig clag mediis sbitavit in undis. As, in a dusky and tempestuous night,

Namque a principio Storiam tellabimus omnem, A star is wont to spread her locks of gold,

And made all eyes with wonder thee behold; Quod si forte ipsa Neberna venerit extra, Till ugly Death, depriving us of light,
