PREF ACE.
R THOMAS NEWTON, afterwards Bishop of Bristol, in the Life of Milton
prefixed to his edition of Paradise Lost (1749), having occasion to refer to the
Manuscripts of Milton preserved in the Library of Trinity College, Cambridge, gives
the following account of them —‘These manuscripts of Milton were found by the
learned Mr Professor Mason among some other old papers, which, he says, belonged
to Sir Henry Newton Puckering, who was a considerable benefactor to the library:
and for the better preservation of such truly valuable reliques, they were collected
together, and handsomely bound in a thin folio by the care and at the charge of a
person, who is now very eminent in his profession, and was always a lover of
the Muses, and at that time a fellow of Trinity College, Mr Clarke, one of
his Majesty's counsel.” - - *
‘The learned Mr Professor Mason' was the Woodwardian Professor of
Geology, who was probably better acquainted with the contents of the Library
than any other member of the Society. His testimony may therefore be
accepted as final. But it is remarkable that, although there is a full catalogue
of all the books given to the Library by Sir Henry Puckering in 1691, nearly
4OOO in number, and the MSS. which accompanied them were enumerated in
Bernard's Catalogue of 1697, there is no hint given that the collection included
the greatest treasure of all, a thin folio MS. of less than thirty leaves, on
which were written, for the most part in his own hand, the chief of Milton's
minor poems.
Sir Henry Puckering, formerly Newton, was the son of Sir Adam Newton,
who had been tutor to Prince Henry, the eldest son of James the First. In
1654, on succeeding to the estates of his uncle, Sir Thomas Puckering, son
of the Lord-Keeper, he assumed the surname of Puckering. It is not known
how the Milton MS. came into his possession. - t
When it was discovered by Mason the leaves were loose, and it was
probably in a tattered condition. It was apparently his intention to have
placed it in a volume of miscellaneous papers, still in the Library (R. 5. 4),
for in the table of contents in his handwriting attached to this volume it stands
fifth in order, with a note that it was afterwards bound separately. Mason
there describes it as ‘Milton's Juvenile Poems &c. seemingly the original.’
Thomas Clarke, afterwards Sir Thomas Clarke and Master of the Rolls,
who in 1736 had just ceased to be a Fellow of Trinity, taking compassion on
the MS. in its forlorn condition, was at the cost of giving it a handsome
[1]
PREFACE,
binding, and his pious care is commemorated in the following inscription, which
is affixed to the first cover of the volume:
‘Membra haec Eruditissimi et paene Divini Poetae olim miserè disjecta et
passim sparsa, postea verö fortuito Inventa et in unum denuo collecta a Carolo
Mason ejus Col. Socio & inter miscellanea reposita, deinceps ea, quá decuit,
Religione servari voluit Thomas Clarke, nuperrimè hujusce collegii nunc vero
Medii Templi Londini Socius 1736.’ - Af
In 1738, Thomas Birch, in the Historical and Critical Account of the
Life and Writings of Milton which is prefixed to the edition of his Prose
Works published in that year, gave a list of the various readings of the MS.
in Comus and Lycidas and a considerable number of extracts from other
portions, but said nothing of the way in which it came into the possession of
the College. -
In the New Memoirs of the Life and Poetical Works of Mr John
Milton by Francis Peck, M.A., there is an account (pp. 216—218) of the con-
tents of the MS., which he describes as ‘pompously bound,' and to which he
had access in May 1739 by the favour of the reverend Mr Charles Mason.’
In the notes to his edition of the minor poems in 1752 Dr Newton gave
readings from the MS., and Warton in 1785 subjected it to “a more minute
and careful examination'; but his account of its history is apparently taken
from Newton. In preparation for his edition of Milton's Poetical Works, Todd
in 1799 collated the ‘MS. afresh, and discovered a few peculiarities, or
variations of expression,’ which had escaped the notice of his predecessors,
It would not be impossible to point out some readings which are not correctly
given by Todd. But these early collators had the advantage of seeing the
MS. before it had suffered from the carelessness with which it was treated
when it was too freely shewn to visitors, and from the rough manner in
which it was patched to remedy the mischief caused by unintelligent admira-
tion. They were therefore able to record a few readings which are no longer
legible. But at some time in the course of the present century the MS.
suffered a more grievous loss by the removal, or conveyance, of a slip of
paper which was originally fastened on the inside of one of the pages of Comus
(see p. 16), and contained seventeen lines of that poem (350–366), intended to
take the place of those on the opposite page. The removal was so unskilfully,
perhaps hastily, effected, that traces of the initial letters of the first 13 lines
are still to be seen on the fragment which is left, so that if by some happy
chance it should hereafter be discovered it can with perfect certainty be
identified.
The Council of Trinity College have requested me to superintend the
reproduction of this chief treasure of the College Library, and after the
photographic portion of the work had been executed by the skilful hands of
Mr A. G. Dew-Smith, himself a member of our body, I thought I should do
a greater service to students of Milton if, instead of merely recording the
variations between the MS. and the printed text, I enabled them to ascertain
[2]
PREFACE.
the variations for themselves. For this purpose each page of the MS. has been
represented as far as possible by ordinary type, the words and letters printed
in italic being those which in the MS. are struck out by the writer. It will
be observed that some words in italic are underlined as in the MS. This is
to indicate that although they had been struck out they were to be restored.
The peculiarities which could not be represented by the use of ordinary type
are recorded in the Notes. - - 2.
Of the 47 written pages of which the MS. volume consists, pages 1–8
and Io—41 are in Milton's own hand, as are also the second and third
sonnets, and the heading of the first sonnet on page 9. On page 44 the
first and second sonnets are in Milton's hand, the third in that of an
amanuensis. On pages 42 and 43, which should be reversed, are copies of
four sonnets, apparently transcribed for the press by the same amanuensis
who wrote the heading to the Sonnet to Henry Lawes on page 40. The
originals of these sonnets are on pages 40 and 41 in Milton's hand. Pages
45, 46 and 47 are the work of three amanuenses, whose handwritings differ
from each other and from the three handwritings which are not Milton's on
the preceding pages. Out of these six both Peck and Warton profess to
recognize five as the handwriting of five different women. I see no reason to
believe that they are not all the work of men's hands. Pages 42, 43, 46 and
47 are on smaller paper than the rest, and were probably intended as copy for
the edition of the Poems issued in 1673. . iº -
The Arcades, with which the MS. begins, was probably written in 1633,
and the pieces which follow, on pages 4–8, may be assigned to the same
period. It is true that the Sonnet on page 6, which accompanies the Letter
to a friend, was written on or soon after Milton's twenty-third birthday, that
is, 9 December 1631 ; but this does not fix the date of the letter, because
Milton adds the Sonnet not as something new, for he speaks of it as having
been written ‘some while since,’ but because it came in ‘not altogether unfitly,’
and shewed that the subject of his friend's remonstrance had for some time
been occupying his thoughts.
On page 9 are three Sonnets, the position of which has to be accounted
for, inasmuch as they are several years later in date than the pieces which
precede and follow them; for the first must have been written in November
1642, and the other two in 1644 or 1645. The explanation I believe to be
this. The first part of the MS. consisted of a quire or gathering of eight
leaves, of which the two first and the two last were originally blank, the
Arcades and other pieces occupying the four intermediate leaves.
After Milton had written Comus in 1634, Lycidas in 1637, and the
memoranda on pages 33–39 in 1640—2, he appears to have gone back to
his first quire and made use of one of its blank pages for the three Sonnets
on page 9, which belong to the period 1642–1644 or 1645. After the Notes
from Scotch stories &c. on page 39, the Sonnet to Lawes and those in
Milton's handwriting which follow on pages 40, 41, and 44 are apparently in
[3]
PREFACE.
the order in which they were written, ending with the Sonnet to Fairfax in
1648. With this Milton's hand disappears from the MS. -
It would be a matter of regret if the publication of these facsimiles
should have the same effect upon those who examine them which the sight
of the originals appears to have produced upon Charles Lamb. In a note,
which was at first appended to his Essay on ‘Oxford in the Vacation,' he
says, “I had thought of the Lycidas as of a full-grown beauty—as springing
up with all its parts absolute—till, in an evil hour, I was shown the original
copy of it, together with the other minor poems of the author, in the library
of Trinity, kept like some treasure to be proud of. I wish they had thrown
them in the Cam, or sent them after the latter Cantos of Spenser, into the
Irish Channel. How it staggered me to see the fine things in their ore!
interlined, corrected as if their words were mortal, alterable, displaceable at
pleasure! as if they might have been otherwise, and just as good! as if
inspiration were made up of parts, and these fluctuating, successive, indifferent!
I will never go into the workshop of any great artist again.” Many neverthe-
less will find pleasure in contemplating the second thoughts of the poet, or
even the third, which we are told by a prophet of the order are a riper
first.

Page 8. Sonnet on Time. The heading was ‘To be set on a clock case, but the first three
words have been pasted over.
Page 9. In the margin to the first Sonnet on this page the date 1642 has been obliterated.
Page 11, last line. Birch and others who follow him read the first words of this line ‘And quick
Law,’ taking the tail of the ‘g’ in the line above for a part of ‘Q.” As I read them the
words are ‘& nice’ followed by something which ends in ‘tom,’ perhaps “custom.’
Page 12, line 25, on (2°) changed to of
line 7 up. The marginal note ‘thirst’ appears to be in the same hand as ‘hov'ring’ in the
margin of p. 13, and ‘wild” and ‘pallat’ in the margin of p. 15. This is a different
hand from that of any of the six amanuenses already mentioned.
Page 13, line 34, wandring changed to wanderers.
Page 14, line 8. The words so carefully obliterated are, I have little doubt, “And hold a counter-
point,’ as they stand in the MS. of Comus now in the Library of the Earl of
Ellesmere at Bridgewater House. This MS. is believed to be in the handwriting of
Henry Lawes who composed the music for Comus, and he is accused by Warton of
having ‘thought fit to mar the sound, sense, and elegance, of a most beautiful line,
by making a pleasant professional alteration.” If my reading of the words is correct,
and I find it is supported by Todd, Lawes is relieved from the imputation of taking a
most unwarrantable liberty. A parallel will be found in the first sketches of the song
‘Blest pair of sirens,’ in which occur the expressions ‘Mixe yr choise chords’ and ‘harsh
chromatick jarres.’ These were ultimately rejected by Milton, probably because he thought
them too technical.
lines 21, 22. The order of the changes in these lines appears to have been

2. wept
chiding
3. wept
and chid,
In the second line “and” was struck out and ‘chide' altered to ‘chiding.” Then
“and” was restored and ‘chiding’ altered to ‘chid.’ These changes could not be
indicated by ordinary type.

NOTES.
15, line 2 up. Birch, Newton, Warton and Todd all read “stable.” The true reading is
“steadie, and this makes Warburton's note unnecessary,
The marginal note at the line “but oh that hapless virgin,’ &c., refers to the slip
of paper which has been torn away from the following page. The only words now
legible are “[r]ead the ſpaper over [a]gainst [i]nstead of...downe...[per]happs såe [c]old
banke is.’
I6, line 8, are changed to were.
17, line 6, over changed to o'er then to ore.
18, line 5, his changed to the, and afterwards restored.
line 16 up. It is difficult to read the word before ‘honiesuckle.’ Milton appears first to
have written ‘suckling’ which is a local name for ‘honeysuckle.’ Whatever it is, it is
not “spreading’ as given by Birch and the rest.
20. The lines on this page are on a smaller paper and are intended to be inserted on
page 2 I.
21, line 24 up, beget on changed to invent in, and afterwards restored.
last line, living changed to & live.
22, line 37, fairest changed to faire.
line 44. This line is very obscure. The ‘Ā’ before ‘mus!'d’ apparently indicates that
Milton began to write ‘headed.'
23, line 9, a Sottish changed to besotted.
line to up. ‘lovely' is the reading of the MS. Birch and others give ‘lively.’
24, line 20, Corall-paved changed to corall-paven.
line 3 up, on Amphitrite changed to in Amphitrites.
25, line 12 up, toeing changed to toes.
38, line 19, firce changed to firie.
line 2 up, of changed fo by.
40. In the last line but one of the first draft of the Sonnet to Henry Lawes, Milton
appears to have written originally
‘then old Casell' whom Dante won to sing.’
When he substituted “he” for ‘Dante’ he altered ‘Casell” to ‘Casella’; but making
a blot in the process he wrote “Casella” clearly in the margin. At the same time he
changed won’ to ‘woo'd.’
41, line 5, clod changed to load, which is written more clearly in the margin.
line 6 up. The successive changes appear to have been
1. Faith shew'd the way.
2. Love shew'd the way.
3. Love led thé on.
The abbreviation for ‘them' is indicated by a horizontal stroke over the ‘e’ with
three vertical strokes through it. Similarly on page 45 the abbreviation for ‘Then’ is
marked by a horizontal stroke over the ‘e’ with two vertical strokes through it.
line 7 up. For joy read joy. What looks like a line under the word is the top stroke of
“F” in the line below.
44. The corrections in the first four lines of the first sonnet on this page are in the
handwriting of the amanuensis who wrote pages 42 and 43. The words ‘turn over
the leafe’ in the third line of the side note are apparently in the handwriting of the
amanuensis who wrote page 45.
line 8 up, embru’d changed to imbru’d.
45, line 8, And changed to Thé.
line 9 up, haire braind changed to hare braind.

whé ever
as of when
º (ZS 70/66
Sº, (besides that in Sundry respects I must acknowledge me to profit by you as oft, as wee
. and were yesterday especially
we meet), you are oftº to me, as a good watch man to admonish that the howres of
the night passe on (for so I call my life as yet obscure & unserviceable to mankind)
& that the twelve day is at hand wherin Christ commands all to worke labour while there
is light which because I am psuaded you doe to no other purpose then out of a true desire
every one - when
that god should be honour'd in all men, I am ever readie, you know, still as as occasion is,
though unaskt
offer'd to give you account, as I ought, of my tardie moving according to the praecept
of my conscience, weh I firmely trust is not whout god, yet now I will"teine for
any set apologie, but only referre my selfe to what my mynd shall have at any tyme
to declare her Selfe at her best ease. yet if you thinke, as you said, that too much love
of learning is in fault, & that I have given up my selfe to dreame away my tyme yeares
in ithe armes of studious retirement, like Endymion wth the Moone on Latmus hill, yet
if it were no more but this on the other side
consider that on the other side to overcome this, there is , both ill more bewitchfull, to
& naturall cares more swaying to that weh you wish me
entice away, A & good more ſolent to availeable, to wºhdraw A as first all the fond hopes
forward none of can not sort with
w°h, youth & vanitie are fledge wº, , weh would soone cause me to throw off this Pluto's
- & woud soone cause me to throw it off
helmet, as Homer calls it, of obscurity, if there were nothing else int but an affected
& repute
& fruitlesse curiosity of knowing, and then a naturall desire of honour, weh I thinke
possesses the brest of every scholar as well of him that shall as ºf him that never shall obtaine s
it (if this be altogether bad) wºn would quickly over sway this flegme & melancholy of
bashfullnesse, or that other humor, & induce me praevaile wºn me to praeferre a life that
had at least some credit in it some place given it before a manner of living much
disregarded, & discountenanc’t, there is besides this, as all well know, about this tyme of
a mans life a strong inclination, be it good or no, to build up a house & family of his owne
in the best manner he may, to wºn nothing is more helpfull then the entring early into some
2 I
credible employment, & nothing more crosse then my way, which my wasting youth would
praesently bethinke her of &
never brooke, but kill one love wºn another, if that were all; but what delight or what
peculiar conceit may you in charitie thinke, could hold out against the long knowledge of
a contrarie comand from above, & the terrible seasure of him that hid his talent, therfore
- - on the other way -
comit grace to grace or nature to nature, there is will be found , more obvious temptations
& ſhe like
to bad as gaine, praeferment ambition, more winning praesentments of good, & more prone
& dispose ..
affections of nature to encline A to P; other side, then the bare love of motions could re
sist not counting expect outward causes as expectations & murmurs of freinds Scandals
taken & such like, then the bare love of notions could resist, so that this wºº if it be that wº
you suppose, it had by this bin round about begirt, & over master'd whether it had proceeded
from vertue, vice, or nature in me, yet that you may see that I am somtyme suspicious
of my selfe, & doe take notice of a certaine belatednesse in me selfe, I am the bolder
some while since Žacáč
to send you a feice some of my nightward thoughts, since they come in fitly, A made up
for in a Petrachian stanza, wºº if you please, you may reade
How soone hath Time the suttle theefe of Youth
stolne on his wing my three & twentith yeere
my hasting days fly on wth full careere
but my late spring no bud or blossome shew’th
Perhapps my semblance might deceave ye truth
that I to manhood am arriv'd so neere
& inward ripenesse doth much lesse appeare
that some more tymely-happie spirits indu'th
Yet be it lesse or more, or soone or slow
it shall be still in strictest measure even
to that same lot however meane or high
toward weh Tyme leads me, & the will of heaven
all is if I have grace to use it so
as ever in my great task-maisters eye

On Time
set on a clock case
Fly envious Time till thou run out thy race
call on the lazie leaden-stepping howres
whose speed is but the heavie plummets pace
& glut thy selfe wth what thy womb devoures
weh is no more then what is false & vaine
& meerly mortall drosse
so little is our losse
so little is thy gaine
for when as each thing bad thou hast entomb’d
& last of all thy greedie Selfe consum’d
then long Æternity shall greet our blisse
wth an individuall kisse •
and Joy shall overtake us as a flood
when every thing yt is sincerely good
& pfectly divine
with Truth, & Peace, & Love shall ever shine
about the Supreme throne
of him tº whose happy-making sight alone
when once our heavenly-guided soule shall clime
e º S º
then all this earthie grösnesse quit
attir'd wih starres wee shall for ever sit
Triumphing over Death, & Chance, & thee O Time.
Oh
Upon the Circumcision
yee flaming Powers, & winged Warriours bright
that erst with musick, & triumphant song
first heard by happie watchfull shepheards eare
So Sweetly sung yo; joy the clouds along
through the soft silence of the listening night
now mourne mourne & if sad share wth us to beare
yo fiery essence can distill no teare
burne in yor sighs, & borrow
seas wept from our deepe sorrow
he who wºh all heav'ns heraldry whileare
entred enter'd the world, now bleeds to give us ease
alas how soone our sin
sore doth begin his infancie to sease
more exceeding love or law more just
just law indeed but more exceeding love
for wee by rightfull doome remedilesse,
were lost in death till he that dwelt above
high-thron’d in secret blisse for us fraile dust
emptied his glory even to nakednesse
and yt great cov’nant won wee still transgresse
intirely satisfi’d
and the full zerauth wrath beside
of vengefull Justice bore for our excesse
and seals obedience first wºh wounding smart
this day, but Oh ere long
huge pangs & strong will peirce more neere his hart
Alas how soon our sin
sore doth begin
His infancy to sease
This day but O ere long
Huge pangs & strong

On his dore when ye City expected an assault
When the assault was intended to yº Citty
Captaine, or Collonell, or Knight in armes
Whose chance on these defenselesse dores may sease
If ever deed of honour did thee please
Guard them, and him within protect from harmes.
He can requite thee, for he knows the charmes
That call Fame on such gentle acts as these
And he can spread thy name or'e lands and seas,
º What ever clime the sun's bright circle warmes.
Lift not thy speare against the Muses bowre
The great Emathian conquerour bidd spare
The house of Pindarus when temple' and towre
Went to ye ground . and the repeated aire
Of sad Electra's poet had ye powre
To saue th’ Athenian walls from ruine bare
Ladie, that in the prime of earliest youth
wisely hast shun'd ye broad way & ye green
and with those few art eminently seen
that labour up ye hill of heavnly Truth
The better part with Mary & with Ruth
chosen thou hast; and they y overween
and at thy blooming vertues fret their spleen “prospering “growing vertues
no anger find in thee, but pitty & ruth. |
Thy care is fixt, & zealously attends
to fill thy odorous lamp with deeds of light
& Hope that reaps not shame. Therfore be sure
Thou when the Bridegroom with his feastfull freinds
(night
howr
offens the dore of Bliss, that hovre of night, passes to bliss at ye midd , watch
hast gain’d thy entrance, Virgin wise & pure.
To yº Lady Margaret Ley
Daughter to that good Earle once President
of Englands Counsel, & her Treasury
who left , them both, unstain'd with gold or fee Aliv'd in
& left them both, more in himself content,
Till the sad breaking of that Parlament
broke him, as that dishonest victory
at Chaeronea, fatal to liberty
kill'd with report that Old man eloquent,
Though later born then to have known ye da daies
wherin yor Father flourisht, yet by you
Madam, methinks I see him living yet;
So well yor words his noble Vertues praise,
that all both judge you to relate them true
and to possess them, Honourd Margaret.

f ys occasion
Co.
Advice
Coasting the Tyrrhene shore, as ye winds listed
on Circe's Island fell, (who knows not Circe
the Daughter of ye sun, whose charmed cup
whoever tasted lost his upright shape
& downeward fell into a groveling swine)
this nymph that gaz'd upon his clustring locks
wth ivie berries wreath'd, & his blith youth
had by him ere he parted thence, a son
much like his father, but his mother more
wºn therfore she brought up, and nam'd him Comus nam'd whome
who ripe & frolick of his full growne age *-
roaving the Celtick, & Iberian feilds
at last betaks him to this ominous wood
& in thick “covert of black shade imbour'd “shelter
mightie -
excells his mother at her potent art
offring to every wearie travailer
his orient like liquor in a crystall glasse
to quench the drouth of Phoebus, weh as they tast
fond -
(for most doe tast through , weake intemperate thirst)
Soone as the potions works thire humaine countnance
th' expresse resemblance of o' the gods is chang'd
into some brutish forme of wolfe or beare
or Ounce, or tiger, hog, or bearded goate
all other pts remaining as before they were
and they, so pfect is thire miserie
not once pceave thire foule disfiguriment
but boast themselves more comely then before
& all thire freinds & native home forget
to roule wth pleasure in a sensuall stie
therfore when any favour'd of high Jove
chances to passe through this advent'urous glade
swift as the sparkle of a glauncing starre
I shoote from heaven to give him safe convoy
as now I doe, but first I must put off
these my sky robes spun out of Iris woofe
and take yº weeds and liknesse of a swayne
that to the service of this house belongs
who wºn his soft pipe & smoth dittied song
well knows to still the wild winds when they roare
& hush the waving woods, nor of lesse faith
and in this office of his mountaine watch
the
neerest & likliest to give praesent aide chance aide
of this occasion, but I heare the tread
hatefull - -
of wirgin steps I must be veiwlesse now. Exit goes out
wth a charming rod & glasse of liquor
Comus enters, with his rout all headed like some wild beasts thire
come on in
garments some like mens & some like womens they begin a wild &
humorous antick fashion
intrant kopičovres.
The starre that bids ye shepheard fold
now the top of heav'n doth hold
and the gilded carre of day
his glowing axle doth allay
X
in the steepe Tartessian streame “Atlantick
& the slope sun his upward beame
shoots against the *northren pole *dusky
pacing toward the other goale
of his chamber in the east
meane while welcome Joy & feast
midnight shout & revelry
tipsie dance & jollity
braid yor locks with rosie twine
dropping odours, dropping wine
Rigor now is gon to bed
& mice tom wºn her scrupulous head

adore > when for thire teeming flocks, &
in wanton dance they, praise the bounteous Pan
& thanke the gods amisse, I should be loath
to meet the rudenesse & Swill'd insolence
of such late wassailers yet Oh where else
II]27,6S tangled shall I informe my unacquainted feete
in the blind , alleys of these this arched wood .
my brothers when they saw me wearied out
wºn this long way resolving heere to lodge
under the spredding favour of these pines :
stept, as they sed, to the next thicket side
to bring me berries, or such cooling fruit
as the kind hospitable woods provide A
they left me then, when the gray-hoodded evºn
like a sad votarist in palmers weeds
rose from the hindmost weeles of Phoebus chaire waine
but where they are and why they come. not back
is now the labour of my thoughts, tiz likliest
wandring
they had ingadg’d thire youth/y steps too farre
to the soone parting light and envious darknesse ere they could returne
had stolne them from me; else O theevish night
why shouldst thou, but for some fellonious end
in thy darke lanterne thus close up the starres
that nature hung in heaven & fill'd thire lamps
wth ever lasting oyle to give “thire light “due
to the misled & lonely travailer .
this is, place as well as I may guesse
whence even now the tumult of loud mirth
was rife & perfect in my listening eare
yet nought but single darknesse doe I find
what might this be? a thousand fantasies
begin to throng into my memorie
of calling shaps, & beckning shadows dire
and ayrie toungs ‘that lure night wanderers “that syllable mens nams
on Sands, & Shoars, & desert wildernesses.
these thoughts may startle well, but not astound
the vertuous mind, that ever walks attended
by a strong siding champion conscience
O welcome pure-eyd Faith, white-handed Hope
thou “flittering angell girt wºn golden wings "hov'ring
and thou “unspotted forme of chastity *unblemish’t

that "the supreme good to whome all things ill
are but as slavish officers of vengeance
would send a glistring “cherub if need were *guardian
to keepe my life, & honour unassaild.
was I deceav'd, or did a sable cloud
turne forth her silver lining on the night
I did not 'erre, there dos a sable cloud
turne forth her silver lining on the night
& casts a gleame over this tufted grove
I cannot hallow to my brothers, but
such noise as I can make to be heard fardest

Canst thou not tell me of a gentle paire
that likest thy Narcissus are P
Oh if thou have
hid them in some flowrie cave
tell me but where
Sweet Queene of parlie, daughter of the spheare
So mast maist thou be translated to the skies
Żołd a counterpoint *to all heavns harmonies “and give resounding grace
Comus enters, looks in and speaks
can any mortall mixture of earths mould
breath such divine enchaºnting ravishment
Sure Somthing holy lodges in that brest
and with these raptures moves the vocall aire
to testifie his hidden residence
how sweetly did they flote upon the wings
of silence, through the empty vaulted night
at every fall smoothing the raven downe
of darknesse till she smil'd, I have oft heard sitting
my mother Circe with the Sirens three Aamidst the flowrie-kirtle'd Naiads
who as they sung would take the prison'd soule potent -
& lap it in Elizium, Scylla would zweepe wept culling thire £otent hearbs, & balefull druggs
and chide her barking waves into attention (powerful!)
and fell Charybdis murmur’d soft applause myghty
yet they in pleasing slumber lull'd the sense
and in sweet madnesse rob’d it of it selfe
but such a sacred, & home felt delight
such sober certainty of waking blisse
I never heard till now. Ile speake to her *
and she shall be my queene. Haile forreine wonder
certaine
whome, these rough shades did never breed
unlesse the goddesse that in rurall shrine
^liz’s; heere wth Pan or Silvan, by blest song ^dwell'st
forbidding every bleake unkindly fogge
to touch the ‘prospering growth of this tall wood “prosperous
Ladie Nay gentle shepheard ill is lost that praise t
that is addrest to unattending eares
not any boast of skill, but extreme shift
how to regaine my sever'd companie *
compell'd me to awake the courteous Echo
to give me answere to give me from her mossie couſch
what chance good La, hath bereft you thus
dim darknesse, & this leavie labyrinth
neere
Could that divide you from thire ushering hands guids
they left me wearied on a grassie terſe *
by falshood, or discourtesie or why - \
coole
to seeke i'th valley some , freindly spring. .
and left yor faire side all unguarded Ladie
they were but twaine, & purpos'd quick returne
phapps fore stalling night praevented them
how easie my misfortune is to hit *
imports thire losse beside the praesent need
no lesse then then if I should my brothers loose
were they of manly prime, or youthfull biºme
as smooth as Hebe's thire unrazor'd lipps.
such tow I saw what tyme the labour'd oxe
in his loose traces from the furrow came
& the swinck’t hedger at his supper sate
I saw’ em under a greene mantling vine
that crawls along the side of yon smal hill
plucking ripe clusters from ye tender shoots
thire port was more then humaine as they stood
I tooke it for a faerie vision
of some gay creatures of the element
that in the colours of ye rainbow live
& play ith plighted clowds, I was aw strooke
& as I past, I worshipt, if those you seeke
it were a journy like the path to heav'n
La
to helpe you find them out. Gentle villager

& rifted rocks whose entrance leads to hell. for such there be, but unbeleife is blind
immur'd in cipresse shades a sorcerer dwells
of Bacchus & of Circe borne, great Comus
emur'd in all his mothers witcheries
and heere to every thirstie wanderer
by sly enticement gives his banefull cup
wth many murmurs mixt, whose pleasing poison
the visage quite transforms of him y drinks
and *the inglorious likenesse of a beast ^makes
unmoulding reasons mintage
characterd in the face this have I learnt
• ... hillie crofts
tending my flocks hard by i'th, pastur'd, lawns
that brows this bottome glade whence night by night
he & his monstrous rout are heard to howle
like stabl’d wolvs, or tigers at thire prey
doing abhorred rites to Hecate
in thire obscured haunts of inmost bowers
yet have they they many baits, & gi/ guilefull spells
to' inveigle & invite th' unwarie spell sense
of them yt passe unweeting by the way.
this evening late by then the chewing flocks
had tane thire supper on the savourie herbe
of knot grasse dew besprent, and were in fold
I sate me downe to watch, upon a banke
with ivie canopied, & interwove
blowing - blowing
wth, suckling” honiesuckle, & began ºftaunting “flaunting
to meditate my rurall minstrelsie -
wrapt in a pleasing fit of melancholy
till fancie had her fill, but ereºfhe close
the wonted roare was up amidst the woods
and fill'd the aire wth barbarous dissonance
at web I cease'd, & listen; them awhile
till an unusuall stop of suddaine silence
gave respit to the drousie flighted steeds
that draw the litter of close-curtain'd sleepe
×sfj// soft” º -
At last a soft, & sollemne breathing sound “sweet "soft
X
a. 3/oze,
rose like, the softe steame of Adistill'd pfumes “slow rich
and stole upon the aire, that even silence
was tooke ere she was ware, & wish't she might
deny her nature & be never more
still to be;9displact, I was all eare

and tooke in streins that might create a soule
under the ribbs of Death . but oh ere long
too well I might poeave it was ye voice
of my most honour'd Ladie yo' deare sister
amaz'd I stood, harrow'd with greife & feare
and O poore haplesse nightingale thought I
how sweet thou sing'st, how neere the deadly snare
then downe the lawnes I ran wºn headlong hast
through paths & turnings often trod by day
till guided by myne eare I found the place
where that damn'd wisard hid in sly disguise
(for so by certaine signes I knew) had met
alreadie ere my best speed could praevent
aidlesse . tº º º º
the Ahelplesse innocent Ladie his wisht prey who tooke him
who gen who gently askt if he had seene such tow
Supposing him some neighbour villager
longer I durst not stay, but soone I gues’t
yee were the tow she meant, & whithat I sprung
into swift flight till I had found you heere
and this but furder know I not. 2 Bro. O night & shades
how are yee joyn'd wºn hell in triple knot
against th' unarmed weakenesse of one virgin
alone, & helplesse, is this the confidence
you gave me brother? I Bro. yes: and keepe it still
leane on it safely not a piod -
shall be unsaid for me, against the threats
of malice, or of sorcerie, or that power
wćh erring men call chance this I hold firme
vertue may be assayl'd but never hurt
surpris’d by unjust force, but fiot enthrall'd and
Yea even that weh mischeife ment most harme
shall in the happie triall prove most glory
but evill on it selfe shall back recoyle
fill all to place & mixe no more wth goodnesse, when at last
gather'd like scum & setled to it selfe
it shall be in aeternall restlesse change
selfe fed, & selfe consum’d if this faile
the pillar'd firmament is rottennesse
and earths base built on stubble . but come lets on
against th' opposing will & arme of heav'n
may never this just swoord be lifted up.
but for yt damn'd magician, let him be girt
wth all the greisly legions that troope

Song
Sabrina faire
Listen virgin where thou sit’sf art sitting
under the glassie coole translucent wave
in twisted braids of lillies knitting
the loose #’aine traine of thy amber-dropping haire
listen for deare honours sake
Goddesse of the silver lake
Listen and save
Listen and appeare to us to be said
in name of great Oceanus –by th' earth shaking neptunes mace
by Leucothea's lovely hands and Tethys grave majestick pace
& her son that rules the strands by hoarie Nereus wrinced wrincled looke
by Thetis tinsel-slipper'd f and the Carpathian wizards hooke
y etIS tinSel-S pper eet by scaly Tritons winding shell
__and the songs of Sirens sweet and old sooth-saying Glaucus spell
by dead Parthenbpe's deare tomb by Leucotheas &c
and faire Ligéas gºlden combe
wherewth she sits 6n diamond rocks
sleeking her soft/ alluring locks > by all the nymphs that nightly dance
rise rise & heave thy rosie head upon thy streams wºn wilie glance
from thy corall-paven bed
and bridle in thy headlong wave
till thou our summons answerd have
Listen & save
Sabrina rises attended wºn the water nymphs
Sings | f
By the rushie-fringed banck
where grows the willow, & the osier danck
my sliding chariot stayes
thick set wºn Agat, and the azurne she?ne
of turquis turkis blew, & emnald emrauld greene
that my rich wheeles inlayes that in the channell straies
Whilst from off the waters fleet
thus I set my printlesse feet
ore the couslips velvet head
In Ot
that bends , as I tread
Gentle swaine at thy behe request
I am heere -
Dae. Goddesse deere
wee implore thy powerfull hand
to undoe the mag charmed band
of true virgin heere distres’t
through the force, & through the wile
of unblest enchanter vile.
Sa. Shepheard tis my office best
to helpe ensnared chastitie
werfuous Brightest ladie looke on me
thus I sprinckle on thy bºest
drops that from my fountaine pure
I have kept of precious cure
thrice upon thy fingers tip
thrice upon thy rubied lip
next this marble venom'd seate
smear'd wºn gumms of glutenous heate
I touch wºn chast palmes moist & cold Sabrina descends
now the spell hath lost his hold —the ladie rises out
and I must hast ere morning howre of her seate
To waite in Amphitrites in her bowre
Dae, Virgin daughter of Locrine
sprung of old Anchises line

but farre above in spangled sheene
celestiall, Cupid her fam'd son advanc’t
holds his deare Psyche sweet entranc't
after her wandring labours long
till free consent the gods among
make her his eternall bride
and from her faire unspotted side
tow blissfull twins are to be borne
Youth & Joy ; so Jove hath sworne
But now my taske is smoothly don
I can fly, or I can run *
quickly to the greene earths end
where the bow’d welkin slow doth bend
& from thence can Soare as soone
to the corners of the Moone.
mortalls that would follow me
love vertue she alone is free
she can teach yee how to clime
higher then the sphearie chime
or if vertue feeble were
heaven it selfe would stoope to her.

In this Monodie the author Lycidas (seas 1637
bewails
a lerned freind unfortunatly drownd in his passage from Chester on the Irish
Yet once more O yee Laurells, and once more -
Yee myrtle's browne wºn Ivie never sere
I come to pluck yor berries harsh and crude
and with forc’t fingers rude
shatter yor leaves before the mellowing yeare.
bitter constraint, and Sad occasion deare
compells me to disturbe yo season due
for Lycidas is dead, dead ere his prime
young Lycidas, and hath not left his peere
who would not sing for Lycidas? he well knew
himselfe to sing, and build the loftie rime
he must not flote upon his watrie beare
unwept, and welter to the parching wind
without the meed of some melodious teare
Begin then Sisters of the sacred well
and
that from beneath the seate of Jove doth spring
begin, and somwhat loudly sweepe the string
hence win denial vaine, and coy excuse
SO may some gentle muse
wºn luckie words favour my destin'd urne
and as he passes turne .
to bid faire peace be to my sable shroud
for wee were nurs’t upon the selfe same hill
fed yº Same flock by fountaine, shade, and rill
Together both ere the high Launs appear'd
under the glimmering eyelids of the morne opening
wee drove afeild, and both together heard
what tyme the gray fly winds her sultrie horne
batning our flocks with the fresh dews of night
oft, till the ev'n starre bright that rose in Evning bright
toward heavens descent had sloapt his burnish weele westring
meane while the rurall ditties were not mute
tempd to th' oaten flute -
rough Satyrs danc’t ; and Fauns wºh clov'en heele
from the glad sound would not be absent long
and old Damoetas lov'd to heare our song
But O the heavie change now thou art gone gone
now thou art gon, and never must returne
thee shepheard, thee the woods and desert caves
wth wild Thyme, and the gadding vine oregrowne
and all thire Eccho Echo's mourne
the willows, and the haze'l copses greene
shall now no more be seene -
fanning thire joyous leavs to thy soft lays
as killing as the canker to the rose
or taint-worme to the weanling heards that graze
e X X
or frost to flowrs that thire gay buttons weare beare wardrope weare
when first the white thorne blows
such Lycidas thy losse to shepheards eare
where were yee nymphs when ye remorselesse deepe
clos'd ore the head of yor youn lov'd Lycidas
for neither were yee playing on the steepe
where yor old bards the famous Drüids lie
nor on the shaggie top of Mona high
nor yet where Deva spreds her wisard streame
ay mee. I fondly dreame
had yee bin there, for what could that have don?
what could the golden hayrd Calliope
for her inchaunting son
whome universal nature
might lament
and heaven and hel deplore
zwhen his divine head dozºme

when shee beheld (the gods farre sighted bee) downe the swift Hebrus to the

Lycidas
Alas what boots it with incessant care
to tend the homely slighteds shepheards trade
and strictly meditate the thanklesse muse
were it not better don as others use
to sport with Amaryllis in the shade
or with , hid in the tangles of Neaera's haire?
fame is the spurre that the cleere spirit doth raise
(that last infirmitie of noble mind)
to scorne delights, and live laborious days
but the faire guerdon when wee hope to find
and thinke to burst out into sudden blaze
comes the blind Furie wth th' abhorred sheares
and slits the thin-spun life. But not the praise
Phoebus repli’d, and touch't my trembling eares,
Fame is no plant that grows "mortal soile
nor in the glistering foile -
set off to th’ world, nor in broad rumor lies
but lives and spreds aloft by those pure eyes
and pfect witnesse of all-judging Jove
as he pronounces lastly on each deed
of so much fame in heav'n expect thy meed.
Oh Fountaine Arethuse and thou smooth flood fam'd "honour’d
smooth soft sliding Mincius crown'd wºn vocall reeds
that straine I heard was of a higher mood
but now my oate proceeds
and listens to the Herald of the Sea
that came in Neptunes plea -
he askt the waves, and askt the fellon winds
what hard mishap hath doom'd this gentle swaine?
and question'd every gust of rugged wings
that blows from off each beaked promontorie
they knew not of his storie - -
and Sage Hippotades thire answer brings
that not a blast was from his dungeon straid
the aire was calme and on the levell brine
sleeke Panope win all her sisters plaid
it was yt fatall and pfidious barke
built in th' eclipse, and rigg'd with curses dark
that sunk so low that sacred head of thine
Next Camus reverend sire went footing slow
his mantle hairie, and his bonnet sedge X
*scraul’d ore win figures dim, and on the edge inwraught
like to that sanguine flowre inscrib'd wºn woe
ah who hath reft, quoth he, my deerest pledge
last came and last did goe -
the pylot of the Galilean lake,
tow massie keys he bore of mettalls twaine
the golden opes, the iron shuts amaine
he shooke his mitre’d locks and sterne bespake
how well could I have spar'd for thee young swaine
anough of such as for thire bellies sake
creepe, and intrude, and clime into the fold
of other care they little reckning make
then how to scramble at the shearers feast
and shove away the worthy bidden guest
blind mouths that scarse themselves know how to hold
a sheephooke, or have learn’t ought else the least
that to the faithfull heardsmans art belongs
what recks it them? what need they? they are sped

and when they list, thire leane and flashie Songs
grate on thire scrannel pipes of wretched straw
the hungrie sheepe looke up and are not fed
but swolne win wind, and the rank mist they draw
rot inwardly, and foule contagion spred
besides what the grim wolfe wºn privie paw
dayly devours apace, and nothing sed little
but that tow-handed engine at the dore
stands readie to Smite once and Smite no more
Returne Alpheus the dred voice is past

& heares
Lycidas
Weepe no more wofull shepherds weepe no more
for Lycidas yor sorrow is not dead
sunck though he be beneath the watrie floare
so sinks the day starre in the Ocean bed
& yet anon repairs his drooping head
and tricks his beams & wºn newspangled ore
flams in the forhead of ye morning skie
so Lycidas sunk low but mounted high high
through the deare might of him that walkt ye waves:
where other groves and other streams along
wºn nectar Žure pure his oozie locks he laves
listening the unexpressive nuptiall song
in the blest kingdoms meek of joy & love
there entertaine him all the Sts above
in Sollemne troops, and sweet societies
that sing, & singing in thire glorie move
and wipe the teares for ever frå his eyes
now Lycidas the shepherds weepe no more
henceforth thou art the Genius of ye shoare
in thy large recompence, & shalt be good
to all that wander in that perillous flood
Thus sung the uncouth swaine to th’ Oakes & rills
while ye still morne went out wºn sandals gray
he toucht the tender stops of various quills
wºh eager thought warbling his Dorick lay
and now the Sun had stretcht out all the hills
and now was dropt into westren the wester'n bay
at last he rose and twitcht his mantle blew
To morrow to fresh woods and pasturs new

On the dºction weh follow'd 'Pon my writing certain treatises
I did but prompt the age to quit thir clogs

As when those hindes that were transform'd to frogs
Rail'd at Latona's twin - born progeny
which after held the Sun & Moon in Fee.
But this is got by casting pearl to hogs ;
That bawl for freedom in thir senseles mood,
And hate the truth wherby they should be free still revolt when
Licence they mean, when they cry liberty, Truth would set them
For who loves that, must first be wise, & good; free.
but from that mark how farr they roav, we see
for all this wast of wealth, & loss of blood. X

On the proposal/s of certaffè ministers, for Propagation of the Gospell.

Not of warr onely, but detractions rude,
Guided by faith & matchless Fortitude
To peace & truth thy glorious way hast plough'd,
And on the neck of crowned Fortune proud
Hast reard Gods Trophies & his work pursu’d,
While Darwen stream with blood of Scotts imbru’d,

And twentie battles more; yet much remaines
To conquer still ; peace hath her victories
No less renownd then warr, new foes aries
Threatning to bind our soules wºn secular chaines:
- Helpe us to save free Conscience from the paw
Of hireling wolves whose Gospell is their maw. X

(7) To day deep thoughts resolve with me to drench
In mirth, that after no repenting draws,
Let Euclid rest and Archimedes pause, -
And what the Swede intends and what the French.
To measure life learn thou betimes, and know
Toward solid good what leads the nearest way;
For other things mild Heaven a time ordains,
And disapproves that care, though wise in show,
That with superfluous burden loads the day,
And when Gods sends a cheerfull houre, refrains.
- ×
22
Cyriack, this three years day these eys, though clear
To outward view, of blemish or of spot;
Bereft of light their seeing have forgot,
Nor to thir idle orbs doth sight appear
Of Sun or Moon or Starre throughout the year,
Or man or woman. Yet I argue not
heavns
Against Gods hand or will, nor bate a jot “heavns
bear vp and
Of heart or hope; but still’attend to jeer” bear vp &
e - Right onward
Righ onward * Vºhillward. What supports me dost thou ask?
The conscience, Friend, to have lost them overply'd
In libertyes defence, my noble task,
Of which all Europe talks from side to side.
This thought might lead me through the worlds vain mask
Content though blind, had I no better guide. ×

Mee thought I saw my late espoused saint
brought to me like Alcestis from the grave
whom Joves great son to her glad husband gave
rescu'd from death by force though pale and faint.
Mine as whom washt from spot of childe-bed taint
purification in the old law did save,
and such, as yet once more I trust to have
full sight of her in heaven without restraint,
came vested all in white, pure as her minde :
her face was vaild, yet to my fancied sight
love, sweetness, goodness in her person shin'd
soe cleare, as in no face with more delight.
But oas to imbrace me she enclin'd,
I wak'd, she fled, and day brought back my night.
