Classic Poem

To Mistress Mary Fair fax sayd to be married to the Duke of Buckingam

'Tis happily resolvd (Faier Star) to cast
An Aspect on Him honers You, at last
And by your Influence to a new Create
One happy had been soe Unfortunate
As T'leese all that he had, yet to obtaine
In You (far more than e're he had) againe
Howses, and Parks, and Riches though some pleas
His Lucks increase is; that depriv'd of These
He may enjoy You, and in You posess
What may make All of Fortunes brood goe less
As when the Sun Shines Lesser Orbs are fled
And Phebus up Those All seem gon to bed
Soe He illuminated by your Ray
Bids All his Midnight Chance recede to Day
And's Crosses to guive way to this Content
Of Freedom to Serve You for Bannishment
The Graces Three enthron'd in you, His came
Made up a Fourth, to Crowne You Buckingam.
