Pray, ladies, breath, awhile lay by br Caelestial Sydney's ARCADY; br Heere's a story that doth claime br A little respite from his flame: br Then with a quick dissolving looke br Unfold the smoothnes of this book, br To which no art (except your sight) br Can reach a worthy epithite; br 'Tis an abstract of all volumes, br A pillaster of all columnes br Fancy e're rear'd to wit, to be br The smallest gods epitome, br And so compactedly expresse br All lovers pleasing wretchednes. br br Gallant Pamela's majesty br And her sweet sisters modesty br Are fixt in each of you; you are, br Distinct, what these together were; br Divinest, that are really br What Cariclea's feign'd to be; br That are ev'ry one the Nine, br And brighter here Astreas shine; br View our Lucippe, and remaine br In her, these beauties o're againe. br br Amazement! Noble Clitophon br Ev'n now lookt somewhat colder on br His cooler mistresse, and she too br Smil'd not as she us'd to do. br See! the individuall payre br Are at sad oddes, and parted are; br They quarrell, aemulate, and stand br At strife, who first shal kisse your hand. br br A new dispute there lately rose br Betwixt the Greekes and Latines, whose br Temples should be bound with glory, br In best languaging this story; br br Yee heyres of love, that with one SMILE br A ten-yeeres war can reconcile; br Peacefull Hellens! Vertuous! See: br The jarring languages agree! br And here, all armes layd by, they doe br In English meet to wayt on you.
