At non loquaces interim nidi tacent,
Matresque nidorum vagae.
Sed aut maritis turtur in ramis gemit,
Et saxa rumpit questibus,
Aut laeta late cantibus mulcet loca
Famosa pellex Thraciae.
Silvisq; coram plorat, & crudelibus
Accusat agris Terea:
Quaecumque moesta vocibus dicunt aves,
Respondet argutum nemus,
Affatur alnum quercus, ornum populus,
Affatur ilex ilicem,
Et se vicissim collocuta redditis
Arbusta solantur sonis.

The prateling Nests meane while no silence keep,
Their wandring guests ne're sleep.
To's mate, the Turtle 'mong'st the branches grones,
And with complaints breakes hardest stones,
The Nightingale, the pleasant Groves about
Refresheth, with her warbling note,
Bewayles her losse to th'woods, i'th' cruell fields
'Gainst _Tereus_ her cryes shee yeilds:
And what the mournfull birds doe so complaine,
The shrill woods answer back againe.
The Oke, the Alder tells; the Poplar tree
The Ash; and that, the Elme stands by.
The Groves rejoyce with th'Eccho they afford
And tell them backe--ev'n word for word.

Huc o Quiritum ductor, huc Oenotriae
O magne regnator plagae
_Jordane_, tandem plenus urbis & fori,
Rerumque magnarum satur,
Sepone curis temet, & domesticis
Furare pectus otiis.
Hic vel tuarum lene tranabis vadum
Opacus umbris arborum,
Tuosque colleis inter, & tuas procul
Perambulabis ilices:

_Jordanus_ here, hither thy selfe command,
Great Ruler of th'_Oenotrian_ land.
Withdraw thy selfe from cares, from all resort
So cloy'd with' Citie, and with Court,
So full of great affaires, at length thy breast
Convey to thy domestick rest.
Here thou may'st passe thy Foord, in gloomy shade,
On each side, by thine owne trees made,
And here between thy Mounts, with tall Okes set,
A large walke thou shalt get:

Vel cum Decembri campus, & prima nive
Vicina canescent juga;
Nunc impeditas mollibus plagis feras,
Silvamq; praecinges metu:
Nunc incitato capream rumpes equo,
Teloque deprendes aprum;
Jactoq; cervos collocabis spiculo,
Furesq; terrebis lupos.
Quid si Latinae laus _Alexander_ plagae,
Sacraeque sidus purpurae,
Tecum paterno feriabitur solo,
Seseq; curis eximet;
Tuique cives, hospitesq; civium
Toto fruemur ga
