a

of

with

Wee
,
the
Inuentors
,
being
commanded
from
the
King
,
to
thinke
on
some
thing
worthy
of
his
Maiesties
putting
in
act
,
with
a
selected
company
of
his
Lords
,
and
Gentlemen
,
called
to
the
assistance
:
For
the
honor
of
his
Court
,
and
the
dignity
of
that
heroique
loue
,
and
regall
respect
borne
by
him
to
his
vnmatchable
Lady
,
and
Spouse
,
the
Queenes
Maiesty
,
after
some
debate
of
cogitation
with
our selues
,
resolued
on
this
following
argument
.
First
,
that
a
Person
,
boni
ominis
,
of
a
good
character
,
as
Euphemus
,
sent
downe
from
Heauen
to
Callipolis
,
which
is
vnderstood
the
Citty
of
Beauty
or
Goodnes
,
should
come
in
;
and
,
finding
her
Maiesty
there
enthron'd
,
declare
vnto
her
,
that
Loue
who
was
wont
to
be
respected
as
a
speciall
Deity
in
Court
,
and
Tutelar
God
of
the
place
,
had
of
late
receiu'd
an
aduertisement
,
that
in
the
suburbes
,
or
skirtes
of
Callipolis
,
were
crept
in
certaine
Sectaries
,
or
deprau'd
Louers
,
who
neyther
knew
the
name
,
or
nature
of
loue
rightly
,
yet
boasted
themselues
his
followers
,
when
they
were
fitter
to
be
call'd
his
Furies
:
their
whole
life
being
a
continew'd
vertigo
,
or
rather
a
torture
on
the
wheele
of
Loue
,
then
any
motion
eyther
of
order
or
measure
.
When
sodainely
they
leape
forth
below
,
a
Mistresse
leading
them
,
and
with
anticke
gesticulation
,
and
action
,
after
the
manner
of
the
old
Pantomimi
,
they
dance
ouer
a
distracted
comoedy
of
Loue
,
expressing
their
confus'd
affections
,
in
the
Scenicall
persons
,
and
habits
,
of
the
foure
prime
European
Nations
.
A

A

in

Joy
,
ioy
to
mortals
,
the
reioycing
fires
Of

,
smile
in
your
dilated
hearts
!
Whilst
Loue
presents
a
world
of
chast
defires
,
Which
may
produce
a
harmony
of
parts
!
Loue
is
the
right
affection
of
the
minde
,
The
noble
appetite
of
what
is
best
:
Desire
of
vnion
with
the
thing
design'd
,
But
in
fruition
of
it
cannot
rest
.
The
Father
plenty
is
,
the
Mother
want
,
Plenty
the
beauty
,
which
it
wanteth
,
drawes
;
Want
yeilds
it selfe
:
affording
what
is
scant
.
So
,
both
affections
are
the
vnion's
cause
.
But
,
rest
not
here
.
For
Loue
hath
larger
scopes
,
New
ioyes
,
new
pleasures
,
of
as
fresh
a
date
As
are
his
minutes
:
and
,
in
him
no
hopes
Are
pure
,
but
those
hee
can
perpetuate
.
To
you
that
are
by

a

The

As

Your
