Tixall Poetry.
Of which she is as bounteous Nature free,
And as an earnest of them gives you mee.
Let then this breaking light of happiness
So please all eyes, and so all hearts possess,
Those may gayne strength, and these a larger roome
To entertayne that joy which is to come.
Laura but, like Aurora, does forerun
An Edward, Henry, Charles, or James, our sun.
And may his glorious course be unclouded still
Of all that e'er shone here or ever will,
If Heaven's unsearchable decrees designe,
No offspring to great Charles and Katherine.
And as an earnest of them gives you mee.
Let then this breaking light of happiness
So please all eyes, and so all hearts possess,
Those may gayne strength, and these a larger roome
To entertayne that joy which is to come.
Laura but, like Aurora, does forerun
An Edward, Henry, Charles, or James, our sun.
And may his glorious course be unclouded still
Of all that e'er shone here or ever will,
If Heaven's unsearchable decrees designe,
No offspring to great Charles and Katherine.
