for a pitch so high (Save sacred Charles his) never love durst fly. Heaven that preferred a sceptre to your hand, Favoured our freedom more than your command ; 30 Beauty had crowned you, and you must have been The whole world's mistress, other than a Queen. All had been rivals, and you might have spared, Or killed, and tyrannized, without a guard. No power achieved, either by arms or birth, 35 Equals love's empire both in heaven and earth. Such eyes as yours on Jove himself have thrown As brigh...t and fierce a lightning as his own ; Witness our Jove, prevented by their flame In his swift passage to the Hesperian dame ; 40 When, like a lion, finding, in his way To some intended spoil, a fairer prey, The royal youth pursuing the report Of beauty, found it in the Gallic court ; There public care with private passion fought 45 A doubtful combat in his noble thought : Should he confess his greatness, and his love, And the free faith of your great brother prove ; With his Achates breaking through the cloud io POEMS OF Of that disguise which did their graces shroud ; 5 And mixing with those gallants at the ball, Dance with the ladies, and outshine them all ?
