        Before that worke deuine was wroughte, which nowe wee<lb/>
        looke vppon.<lb/>
        <term id="embstma_1667_12701"/>There was no forme of thinges, but a confused masse:<lb/>
        A lumpe, which <rs>CHAOS</rs> men did call: wherin no order was.<lb/>
        The Coulde, and Heate, did striue: the Heauie thinges, and Lighte,<lb/>
        The Harde, and Softe, the Wette, and Drye. for none had shape arighte.<lb/>
        But when they weare dispos'd, eache one into his roome:<lb/>
        <term id="embstma_1667_12702"/>The Fire, had Heate: the Aire, had Lighte: the Earthe, with fruites did bloome.<lb/>
        The Sea, had his increase: which thinges, to passe thus broughte:<lb/>
        Behoulde, of this vnperfecte masse, the goodly worlde was wroughte.<lb/>
        Then all thinges did abounde, that seru'd the vse of man:<lb/>
        The Riuers greate, with wyne, and oyle, and milke, and honie, ranne.<lb/>
        The Trees did yeeld their fruite: thoughe planting then vnknowne.<lb/>
        And <persName type="mythological">CERES</persName> still was in her pompe, thoughe seede weare neuer sowne.<lb/>
        The season, Sommer was: the Groues weare alwayes greene,<lb/>
        And euery banke, did beare the badge of fragrant <persName type="mythological">FLORA</persName> Queene.<lb/>
        <pb n="embstma_1667_fac123"/>
        This was the goulden worlde, that Poëttes praised moste,<lb/>
        No hate, was harbor'd then at home: nor hatch'd, in forren coste.<lb/>
        But after, when the earthe, with people did increase:<lb/>
        Ambition, straighte began to springe: and pryde, did banishe peace.<lb/>
        For, as all tymes doe change: euen so, this age did passe.<lb/>
        Then did the siluer age insue, and then, the age of brasse.<lb/>
        <term id="embstma_1667_12703"/>The Iron age was laste, a fearefull cursed tyme:<lb/>
        Then, armies came of mischiefes in: and fil'd the worlde with cryme:<lb/>
        Then rigor, and reuenge, did springe in euell hower:<lb/>
        And men of mighte, did manadge all, and poore opprest with power.<lb/>
        And hee, that mightie was, his worde, did stand for lawe:<lb/>
        And what the poore did ploughe, and sowe: the ritch away did drawe.<lb/>
        None mighte their wiues inioye, their daughters, or their goodes,<lb/>
        No, not their liues: such tyraunts broode, did seeke to spill their bloodes.<lb/>
        <term id="embstma_1667_12704"/>Then vertues weare defac'd, and dim'd with vices vile,<lb/>
        Then wronge, did maske in cloke of righte: then bad, did good exile.<lb/>
        Then falshood, shadowed truthe: and hate, laugh'd loue to skorne:<lb/>
        Then pitie, and compassion died: and bloodshed fowle was borne.<lb/>
        So that no vertues then, their proper shapes did beare:<lb/>
        Nor coulde from vices bee decern'd, so straunge they mixed weare.<lb/>
        That nowe, into the worlde, an other <rs>CHAOS</rs> came:<lb/>
        But <rs>GOD</rs>, that of the former heape: the heauen and the earthe did frame,<lb/>
        And all thinges plac'd therein, his glorye to declare:<lb/>
        <term id="embstma_1667_12705"/>Sente <rs>IVSTICE</rs> downe vnto the earthe: such loue to man hee bare<lb/>
        Who, so suruay'd the world, with such an heauenly vewe:<lb/>
        That quickly vertues shee aduanc'd: and vices did subdue.<lb/>
        And, of that worlde did make, a paradice of blisse:<lb/>
        By which wee doo inferre: That where this sacred Goddes is,<lb/>
        That land doth florishe still, and gladnes, their doth growe:<lb/>
        Bicause that all, to <rs>God</rs>, and Prince, by her their dewties knowe.<lb/>
        <term id="embstma_1667_12706"/>And where her presence wantes, there ruine raignes, and wracke:<lb/>
        And kingdomes can not longe indure, that doe this ladie lacke.<lb/>
        Then happie <rs>England</rs> most, where <rs>IVSTICE</rs> is embrac'd:<lb/>
