ling steps we bend." "Oh, where's his court?" said I. The nymph replied, "High on Cithera stands, with tow'ring pride, A stately castle, his imperial seat, In which he lives magnificently great." Her steps I follow'd, till my eager sight, Reaching the hill, found her description right; Amaz'd I saw the building large and strong, Vast were the domes, the marble turrets long; But gold and jewels hid the massy stone And stretching to the skies, with lustre shone: Sapphires and rubies mingled various lights, More sparkling than the stars in winter nights: And Phoebus darted on tnis happy place His lustre, to regain the queen's good grace; For chancing once unluckily to find Mars in her arms, he had enrag'd her mind; But now to please th' offended queen he strove, Which shew'd his longing for the sweets of love: For all the gods that on Olympus dwell, E'en Jove and Pluto, kings of heaven and hell, All things that live on earth, or breathe above, The mighty joys of this best realm approve.

uld you so long provoke his rage?" I answer'd thus: "With sorrow I repent, Wretch that I am, a life so vainly spent." And having spoke, by her I straight was led To a vast hall, with various carpets spread, And cloth of gold; on which I wondering found A throne of state, erected from the ground, Where Venus sat, with her imperial son; Each had a sceptre and a radiant crown. To see their pomp, I could till now have stood Thoughtless of drink, and destitute of food; The pleasures of the fam'd Elysian field Can no such rapture to a stranger yield. No wonder Venus, bless'd with such a mien, And such a person, reigns of beauty queen; Her golden hair dishevell'd, crisp and long, In easy curls around her shoulders hung; And ev'ry beam that's darted from her eyes, Piercing and sharp, like pointed arrow flies. The king of love had danger by his side, The queen, despair; and looking further wide, Attendance, fear, and flattery I view'd, And hope, with strength above the rest endu'd; And wrinkle

Arriv'd at court, I found the palace rooms Adorn'd with hangings made in costly looms; Fair maids I met, that mov'd with heavenly grace, And young men, walking with a lusty pace; Old men I saw, too, but I could not dream What service Venus could receive from them. Pensive I stood, and fearful to be seen, Till one I spied belonging to the queen, Call'd Philomel; I knew her once a maid, But all her life she lov'd. "My friend (she said) Welcome to Cupid's court; but you, I fear, Receiv'd from Merh sorrow I repent, Wretch that I am, a life so vainly spent." And having spoke, by her I straight was led To a vast hall, with various carpets spread, And cloth of gold; on which I wondering found A throne of state, erected from the ground, Where Venus sat, with her imperial son; Each had a sceptre and a radiant crown.

h you'll vow." Then straight he call'd an officer of state, His name is Rigour; solemn was his gait, And grim his look; unmov'd with gold or pray'r; A statute book he brought, and said, "You swear True to remain, in deed, in thought, and word, To Venus and her son, your sovereign lord; To love one fair unchangeably till death, And own your passion with your latest breath; To bear the various temper of her mind, And let her will your just obedience find; To give the honour to her virtue due, Andn other statutes of the realm to look, Rigour cried out, "Hold, traitor to the queen, Those sacred statutes are not to be seen; Those are the laws for womankind ordain'd, That with men's eyes were never yet profan'd; Not e'en with mine, tho' I on Venus wait, Long trusted with her deep affairs of state. Believe me, friend, mankind must still despair To know the rules and maxims of the fair; And when you see 'em change with ev'ry wind, Themselves indulging, to their slaves unkind, Conclude their

We all obey'd the words that Rigour spoke; Devoutly, slow and easy steps we took; Entring the temple, which fam'd artists built, Soft was the front, the lovely roof was gilt; The cheerful quire with well carv'd work was lin'd, And am'rous painting on the pillars shin'd. There Dido, that unhappy dying queen, With false Aeneas, in one piece was seen; And other pictures round the walls were spread, Of men and minds, for love untimely dead. Rais'd in the middle aisle, fond souls to awe, A golden image of the queen we saw; This all adorn'd; some looking fresh and fair, Some worn with grief, or blasted by despair; Some in new mantles dress'd, and some in old, Like half starv'd beggars, ugly to behold. Some pale as death appear'd, some glow'd like fire, Confessing to their inward fierce desire: These with their loud complaints the queen besought To cure those ills that cruel love had wrought; And punish all such authors of their woes, As mock'd their sufferings, or had broke their vows.

But all the happy there, whose envied lives Were bless'd with joys which bounteous Venus gives, Cried, "Goddess, hail! propitious to redress The cares of mortals, and their hearts to bless, May no divisions in your realms be found, Since the whole world in love's soft chains is bound; This is the life of joy our vot'ries know, Who feel their bliss of paradise below; Love cures our vices and refines our hearts; The source of manners, industry, and parts; Honour to you, celestial queen, we pay, Whose minds are lighted with your beauty's ray."

tial queen, we pay, Whose minds are lighted with your beauty's ray." Taught by the pray'r these happy lovers made, I tried my wit, and thus devoutly said. "Fairest of all that e'er in nature shin'd, Light of the world, and comfort of mankind, To you, 0 goddess, I my heart bequeath, Freely bestow a thing that's yours till death; Yours be the choice; I only wish to find A faithful mistress, beautiful and kind; No woman yet my settled passion moves, One I have seen whom most my soul approves; Of stature low, cast in a lovely mould, Healthful and young, with hair more bright than gold; Her looks are fresh, her countenance demure, Her eyes, tho' killing, look like crystal pure: Her could I serve; but if your high decree That fair denies, some other find for me, With whom in pleasure I may spend my life, My mistress, empress, anything but wife. So will I always sacrifice to you, And with Diana constant war pursue. A fig for her, and all her chastity; Let monks and friars her disciples be."

She answer'd, " Friend, your service I disclaim; Who are you, pray? whence come you? what's your name?" "Men call me Celadon, in verse I write, And songs at home with some applause indite; Oh, why is every flower and pleasing root That in the Muses' happy garden shoot, Denied me now? and why must I despair, With sweets of verse to charm the brightest fair? Thou gentle muse, my humble breast inspire With sacred numbers and celestial fire; And, Pallas, thy propitious light convey, To chase the mist of ignorance away!" "Peace, rhyming fool, and learn henceforth to make A fitter choice; your woman you mistake." "0 mercy, Venus! mercy from above! Why would you curse me with such hopeless love? Behold the most abandon'd soul on earth; Ill was I got, and woful was my birth. Unless some pity on my pains you shed, The frosty grave will quickly be my bed." Thus having spoke, my breath began to fail, My colour sunk, and turned like ashes pale; I swoon'd, and down I fell. " Thou slave arise (Crie
