 Within her brafen (heetes, m^kes envy ftand

 Whirft (he in crimfon letters writes : Thefe, theft, 
 Shalt be the whole at v Ids Ephemerides, 
 
 Did notVrania loofe thy fettet'd minde, 
 Out of the clayeie prifon, and refign'd 
 Her place to it ? did not thy purer lay 
 Flow from the fountaineof the Afil^ie way ? 
 Did not (he dictate to thee, how to ssan 
 Thefe meneths of woe, this Almanac^ of man I 
 An Almanac\e that ne're (hall b' out of date, 
 But lad as long as time* as fir me as fate* 
 She did, (heare, envie, heare and burft) and by 
 Herfiaffe thou took'ft the height of Poetry : 
 Th* Arcadia» Shepheards (hall make thee their ftarres 
 And place this next to Tityrus Calander. 
 
 Like to another Pheebus thou doll take 
 Thy twelvemoneths taske through lifes (hort ZodUcltfi 
 But thefe are too too narrow bounds for thee, 
 £each moneth's an age, each age eternitie. 
 The names, not nature's of the monethsj I fee 
 Defcribed in thy c*leftiall poctrie. 
 Frefh May and lufty Iune triumph alone 
 In thy wa'rme breaft, December there is none. 
 Envie her felfe can finde no fault but this, 
 Perfect thy moneths,thy globe imperfect is. 
 No parallell is feene in all thy fphcate, 
 Befides too, no Equator docb appears.

 Accounted therefore by my Micbat light:

 Yet fometimes on my couch thefe joyes did turne, 
 In floods of teares, and I did fadly mourne : 
 As in all things, fo in the godly heart 
 Sorrow and joy by courfe doe pi ay their parts 
 Sometimes the heart is calme and fweetely ffilU

 Sometimes in deadly forrow it isdrown'd 
 And then no gracious prefence can be fpund.
