^j Poems occasioned by a Melancholy Vision. Or, a
melancholy Vision vpon diners Theumes enlarged,
which by seuerall Arguments ensuinge is showed.
His nindit musa tenebris. By H. M. London,
printed bit 1 D. for Laurance Blaikelocke y and are
to be sou d at his shopp at the suger looj'e next Temple
lair in Fteetsireet. 1639. Oct.

The above is central of a title-page, engraved in com-
partments, by John Droeshout. Some verses, on a pre-
ceding leaf, give " the minde of the frontispiece." It is
dedicated to Thomas Earle of Winehelsee, where the
author says

" Musing on the many undeserved favours that I have re-
ceived from your Lordship, which I know not how to requite;
I thought of presenting my home-bred muse to your Honour
being the first fruits of my poore indeavours in this kinde,"
(subscribed) your Honour's most humble serrant, Humphry
Mill.

The address to the reader contains a sort of common-
place apoloffv for the priming. The lines were composed
for private use, and only the familiar friend to see the
l< melancholy muse m her closet ;" and her appearance
"in an open market," is according to " her fhst breath-
ing, without altering matter, f-.shion or trimming." And
this was occasioned by her being " baci-*t by her ac-
quaintance,"

quaintance." whence he conceived if leave was not given
* she would take it unaskt," and parti y from perswasion
he consented '* she might come and goe at her plea-
sure."

Complimentary poems, with signature? W. G P. H.
Tho. Collet, and an acrostic on the author's name by
I. A.

The poems are aMelancholvVision ; of Time; Vanity;
Darkness; Light; Life; Sin; and Death : The reprieve
of Sin and Death; Advice aboutSin; Instructions touch-
ing Death and the resolutions of the Muse. On a for-
mer occasion, a long specimen is given of the author's
poetry; but, as " first fruits," may be given the com-
mencing lines of the poem on Time, which rival tht
Sternholdian school in glibness of measure.

" O Time, thou art that precious part,
that God doth give to man :
That living here, may in God's ftare,
proceed the best he can.

Time's more of worth, when 'tis set forth.,

in nature sweet and kinde,
Than gold: being lost, the man is crost,

that seekes to gaine, or finde.

Time being gone, sure there is none,

can call it hacke againe,
Its in God ['sj hand, Time cannot stand,

the Lord of times doth raigne.

When Time is past, though thou make haste..

To o're-take, its seldome seene,
But it thou creepe, time doth not sleepe,

but swift hath tver beene.

If thou but goe, time doth not so

it runnes, thou runn'st 'twill flye,
Get time befoie, and keepe in store,

lest God thee time deny "
