h a shee-Tiger, hurl'd
Thee, with a mischiefe, into th'hatefull world,
Heyre to the fury of thy Syre, and damm;
Or some wild Wolfe left thee a naked shame:
Under a huge hard rock: some angry storme,
From waves, with things so full of divers forme,
For birds and beasts, spew'd th'up a banefull prey;

Tuo severas pectore marmora
Duxere venas, marmora rupibus
Decisa, quas Gaetula caelebs
Deucalio super arva iecit:
Te sede primum livida regia
Megaera fixit: Tisiphone dedit
Sceptrum cruentandum feraq;
Imposuit Diadema fronti; &
Regale nuper cum premeres ebur
Adsedit altis fulta curulibus,
Et per Palaestinos Tyrannis
Explicuit sua signa campos.

The Marble quarry, 'mid'st the raging Sea,
It's rigid veynes, from thy rough bosome drew;
Marble, from those rocks hewne, _Deucalion_ threw
Over _Gaetulian_ fields: _Megara_ first
Fix'd th'in thy regall seat, on thee accurst
Then _Tisiphon_ the Scepter did bestow,
And set the Diadem on thy savage brow:
And as thy princely Ivory, of late
Thou proudly lean'dst upon, close by thee sate
With stately columnes prop'd, fell tyrannie,
Her Ensignes, who through _Palestine_ let fly:

Tremensq; & atrum sanguine a manu
Telum coruscans secum Odia, & Minas,
Caedemque & insanos tumultus,
Funeraq; & populorum iniquas
Strages, & indignum excidium retro
Lactantis aevi traxit, & inclyta
Regnorum, inexhaustasque longis
Cladibus evacuavit urbies.
Illam & parentum dira gementium
Lamenta, Questusque, & Gemitus retro,
Luctusque vicatim secuti, &
Irriguis Lacrymae catervis.

And her black sword with bloudy trembling hand
Did brandish round, when straight at her command
Hatreds, and strifes appear'd, murder and rage
The horrid ruine of the new-borne age,
Shee drew along; Tumultuous madness, all
The slaughter'd peoples unjust funerall:
Each famous kingdome, inexhausted towne
In a large streame of bloud by her, o're-throwne.
Next followed Her, the plaints, and direfull grones
Of sighing parents, rob'd of their little ones,
Whole tydes of teares, sobs, and lamentings great
And mourning in each corner of the street.

Quod si caducis decidit amnibus
Praesagus imber, quid pluvias sequi
Cunctantur ultrices procellae,
Et voluc
