In envy of thy hopes they hither came;And Envy men in warr Ambition name;Ambition, Valor; but 'tis valor's shameWhen Envy feeds it more than noble Fame:Strait I discern'd by what their Ensigne weares,They are of those ambitious Wanderers;Whose avaritious thoughts would teach them runne,As long continu'd journeys as the Sunne;And make the title of their strength, not right,As knowne, and universall as his light:For they beleeve their Monarch hath subdu'dAlready such a spacious latitude;That sure, the good old Planet's bus'nesse isOf late, only to visit what is his:And those faire beames, which he did think his owneAre tribute now, and he, his subject growne;Yet not impair'd in title, since they callHim kindly, his Surveyor-Generall. Now give mee Wine! and let my fury rise,That what my travail'd Soul's immortall eiesWith joy, and wonder saw, I may reherseTo curious Eares, in high, immortall verse!
