Adorn’d with Emblems Hieroglyphicall.

At first; The glorious Sun in lustre shine:

Next unto it, A young and tender Vine

Surround a stately Elm, whose tops were crown’d

With wreaths of Bay-tree reaching to the ground:

And, to be short, methinks I did espy

A pleasant, harmless, joyful Comedy.

But now (sad change, I’m sure,) they all are clad

In deepest Sable, and their Faces sad.

The Sun’s o’erclouded and the Vine’s away,
