Low
I.
This Queen of Prey (now prey to you),
Fast to that pirch of ivory
In silver chaines and silken clue,
Hath now made full thy victory:
II.
The swelling admirall of the dread
Cold deepe, burnt in thy flames, oh faire!
Wast not enough, but thou must lead
Bound, too, the Princesse of the aire?
III.
Unarm`d of wings and scaly oare,
Unhappy crawler on the land,
To what heav`n fly`st? div`st to what shoare,
That her brave eyes do not command?
IV.
Ascend the chariot of the Sun
From her bright pow`r to shelter thee:
Her captive (foole) outgases him;
Ah, what lost wretches then are we!
V.
Now, proud usurpers on the right
Of sacred beauty, heare your dombe;
Recant your sex, your mastry, might;
Lower you cannot be or`ecome:
VI.
Repent, ye er`e nam`d he or head,
For y` are in falcon`s monarchy,
And in that just dominion bred,
In which the nobler is the shee.
