In story, did but the dull Zanye play,

To this proud night; which rather wee'le terme day:

For th'artificiall lights so thicke were set,

That bright Sun seem'd this to counterfeit

But seven (whom whether we should Sages call

Or deadly sinnes, Ile not dispute) were all

Invited to this pompe. And yet I dare

Pawne my lov'd Muse, th' Hungarian did prepare

Not halfe that quantity of victuall, when

He layd his happy siege to Nortlinghen.
