Henry Howard, Son of Thomas Earl of Berk/hire made a Play, called the United Kingdoms, which bega* with a Funeral; and had alio two Kings in it. This gave the Duke a juft occafion to fet up two Kings in Brentford, as 'tis generally believ'd, tho'others are of opinion, that his Grace had our two Brothers in his Thoughts.

Since Death my earthly Part will thus remove, Pll come a humble Bee to your chafte Love : With filent Wings, P11 follow you, dear Couz-, Or elfe before you in the Sun-beams buz,: And when to melancholy Groves you come, An airy Ghofi, you U know me by my Hum ; For Sound being Air, a Ghofi does well become. At Night into your Bofom I will creep, Auci buz, but foftly, if you chance tofieep ; Tet in your Dreams, I will pafs fweeping by, And then both hum and buz before your Eye. In Ridicule of this. - - My earthly Part, Which is m y Tyrant's Right, Death will remove; I'll come all Soul and Spirit to your Love With filent Steps I'll follow you all day; Or elfe before you in the Sun-beams play. I'll lead you hence to melancholy Groves, And there repeat the Scenes of our paft Loves At Night I will within your Curtains peep; With empty Arms embrace you, while you fleep • In gentle Dreams I often will be by, And fweep along before your clofing Eye ; All Dangers from your Bed I will remove, But guard it moft from any future Love. And when at laft in pity you will die, Til watch your Birth of Immortality • Then Turtle-like, I'll to m y Mate repair, And teach you your firft Flight in open Air. Tyrannick Love, p. 25. D 3 No:* |
