An Anatomy of the World.

_The first Anniversary._

[Sidenote: _The entrie into the worke._]

When that rich Soule which to her heaven is gone,

Whom all do celebrate, who know they have one,

(For who is sure he hath a Soule, unlesse

It see, and judge, and follow worthinesse,

And by Deedes praise it? hee who doth not this, 5

May lodge an In-mate soule, but 'tis not his.)

When that Queene ended here her progresse time,

And, as t'her standing house to heaven did climbe,

Where loath to make the Saints attend her long,

She's now a part both of the Quire, and Song, 10

This World, in that great earthquake languished;

For in a common bath of teares it bled,

Which drew the strongest vitall spirits out:

But succour'd then with a perplexed doubt,

Whether the world did lose, or gaine in this, 15

(Because since now no other way there is,

But goodnesse, to see her, whom all would see,

All must endeavour to be good as shee,)

This great consumption to a fever turn'd,

And so the world had fits; it joy'd, it mourn'd; 20

And, as men thinke, that Agues physick are,

And th'Ague being spent, give over care,

So thou sicke World, mistak'st thy selfe to bee

Well, when alas, thou'rt in a Lethargie.

Her death did wound and tame thee than, and than 25

Thou might'st have better spar'd the Sunne, or Man.

That wound was deep, but 'tis more misery,

That thou hast lost thy sense and memory.

'Twas heavy then to heare thy voyce of mone,

But this is worse, that thou art speechlesse growne. 30

Thou hast forgot thy name, thou hadst; thou wast

Nothing but shee, and her thou hast o'rpast.

For as a child kept from the Font, untill

A prince, expected long, come to fulfill

The ceremonies, thou unnam'd had'st laid, 35

Had not her comming, thee her Palace made:

Her name defin'd thee, gave thee forme, and frame,

And thou forgett'st to celebrate thy name.

Some moneths she hath beene dead (but being dead,

Measures of times are all determined) 40

But long she'ath beene away, long, long, yet none

Offers to tell us who it is that's gone.

But as in states doubtfull of future heires,

When sicknesse without remedie empaires

The present Prince, they're loth it should be said, 45

The Prince doth languish, or the Prince is dead:

So mankinde feeling now a generall thaw,

A strong example gone, equall to law,

The Cyment which did faithfully compact,

And glue all vertues, now resolv'd, and slack'd, 50

Thought it some blasphemy to say sh'was dead,

Or that our weaknesse was discovered

In that confession; therefore spoke no more

Then tongues, the Soule being gone, the losse deplore.

But though it be too late to succour thee, 55

Sicke World, yea, dead, yea putrified, since shee

Thy'intrinsique balme, and thy preservative,

Can never be renew'd, thou never live,

I (since no man can make thee live) will try,

What wee may gaine by thy Anatomy. 60

Her death hath taught us dearely, that thou art

Corrupt and mortall in thy purest part.

Let no man say, the world it selfe being dead,

'Tis labour lost to have discovered

The worlds infirmities, since there is none 65

Alive to study this dissection;

[Sidenote: _What life the world hath stil._]

For there's a kinde of World remaining still,

Though shee which did inanimate and fill

The world, be gone, yet in this last long night,

Her Ghost doth walke; that is, a glimmering light, 70

A faint weake love of vertue, and of good,

Reflects from her, on them which understood

Her worth; and though she have shut in all day,

The twilight of her memory doth stay;

Which, from the carcasse of the old world, free, 75

Creates a new world, and new creatures bee

Produc'd: the matter and the stuffe of this,

Her vertue, and the forme our practice is:

And though to be thus elemented, arme

These creatures, from home-borne intrinsique harme, 80

(For all assum'd unto this dignitie,

So many weedlesse Paradises bee,

Which of themselves produce no venemous sinne,

Except some forraine Serpent bring it in)

Yet, because outward stormes the strongest breake, 85

And strength it selfe by confidence growes weake,

This new world may be safer, being told

[Sidenote: _The sicknesses of the World._]

The dangers and diseases of the old:

For with due temper men doe then forgoe,

Or covet things, when they their true worth know. 90

[Sidenote: _Impossibility of health._]

There is no health; Physitians say that wee,

At best, enjoy but a neutralitie.

And can there bee worse sicknesse, then to know

That we are never well, nor can be so?

Wee are borne ruinous: poore mothers cry, 95

That children come not right, nor orderly;

Except they headlong come and fall upon

An ominous precipitation.

How witty's ruine! how importunate

Upon mankinde! it labour'd to frustrate 100

Even Gods purpose; and made woman, sent

For mans reliefe, cause of his languishment.

They were to good ends, and they are so still,

But accessory, and principall in ill;

For that first marriage was our funerall: 105

One woman at one blow, then kill'd us all,

And singly, one by one, they kill us now.

We doe delightfully our selves allow

To that consumption; and profusely blinde,

Wee kill our selves to propagate our kinde. 110

And yet we do not that; we are not men:

There is not now that mankinde, which was then,

When as, the Sunne and man did seeme to strive,

[Sidenote: _Shortnesse of life._]

(Joynt tenants of the world) who should survive;

When, Stagge, and Raven, and the long-liv'd tree, 115

Compar'd with man, dy'd in minoritie;

When, if a slow pac'd starre had stolne away

From the observers marking, he might stay

Two or three hundred yeares to see't againe,

And then make up his observation plaine; 120

When, as the age was long, the sise was great;

Mans growth confess'd, and recompenc'd the meat;

So spacious and large, that every Soule

Did a faire Kingdome, and large Realme controule:

And when the very stature, thus erect, 125

Did that soule a good way towards heaven direct.

Where is this mankinde now? who lives to age,

Fit to be made _Methusalem_ his page?

Alas, we scarce live long enough to try

Whether a true made clocke run right, or lie. 130

Old Grandsires talke of yesterday with sorrow,

And for our children wee reserve to morrow.

So short is life, that every peasant strives,

In a torne house, or field, to have three lives.

And as in lasting, so in length is man 135

[Sidenote: _Smalnesse of stature._]

Contracted to an inch, who was a spanne;

For had a man at first in forrests stray'd,

Or shipwrack'd in the Sea, one would have laid

A wager, that an Elephant, or Whale,

That met him, would not hastily assaile 140

A thing so equall to him: now alas,

The Fairies, and the Pigmies well may passe

As credible; mankinde decayes so soone,

We'are scarce our Fathers shadowes cast at noone:

Onely death addes t'our length: nor are wee growne 145

In stature to be men, till we are none.

But this were light, did our lesse volume hold

All the old Text; or had wee chang'd to gold

Their silver; or dispos'd into lesse glasse

Spirits of vertue, which then scatter'd was. 150

But 'tis not so: w'are not retir'd, but dampt;

And as our bodies, so our mindes are crampt:

'Tis shrinking, not close weaving that hath thus,

In minde, and body both bedwarfed us.

Wee seeme ambitious, Gods whole worke t'undoe; 155

Of nothing hee made us, and we strive too,

To bring our selves to nothing backe; and wee

Doe what wee can, to do't so soone as hee.

With new diseases on our selves we warre,

And with new Physicke, a worse Engin farre. 160

Thus man, this worlds Vice-Emperour, in whom

All faculties, all graces are at home;

And if in other creatures they appeare,

They're but mans Ministers, and Legats there,

To worke on their rebellions, and reduce 165

Them to Civility, and to mans use:

This man, whom God did wooe, and loth t'attend

Till man came up, did downe to man descend,

This man, so great, that all that is, is his,

Oh what a trifle, and poore thing he is! 170

If man were any thing, he's nothing now:

Helpe, or at least some time to wast, allow

T'his other wants, yet when he did depart

With her whom we lament, hee lost his heart.

She, of whom th'Ancients seem'd to prophesie, 175

When they call'd vertues by the name of _shee_;

Shee in whom vertue was so much refin'd,

That for Allay unto so pure a minde

Shee tooke the weaker Sex; shee that could drive

The poysonous tincture, and the staine of _Eve_, 180

Out of her thoughts, and deeds; and purifie

All, by a true religious Alchymie;

Shee, shee is dead; shee's dead: when thou knowest this,

Thou knowest how poore a trifling thing man is.

And learn'st thus much by our Anatomie, 185

The heart being perish'd, no part can be free.

And that except thou feed (not banquet) on

The supernaturall food, Religion,

Thy better Growth growes withered, and scant;

Be more then man, or thou'rt lesse then an Ant. 190

Then, as mankinde, so is the worlds whole frame

Quite out of joynt, almost created lame:

For, before God had made up all the rest,

Corruption entred, and deprav'd the best:

It seis'd the Angels, and then first of all 195

The world did in her cradle take a fall,

And turn'd her braines, and tooke a generall maime,

Wronging each joynt of th'universall frame.

The noblest part, man, felt it first; and than

Both beasts and plants, curst in the curse of man. 200

[Sidenote: _Decay of nature in other parts._]

So did the world from the first houre decay,

That evening was beginning of the day,

And now the Springs and Sommers which we see,

Like sonnes of women after fiftie bee.

And new Philosophy calls all in doubt, 205

The Element of fire is quite put out;

The Sun is lost, and th'earth, and no mans wit

Can well direct him where to looke for it.

And freely men confesse that this world's spent,

When in the Planets, and the Firmament 210

They seeke so many new; they see that this

Is crumbled out againe to his Atomies.

'Tis all in peeces, all cohaerence gone;

All just supply, and all Relation:

Prince, Subject, Father, Sonne, are things forgot, 215

For every man alone thinkes he hath got

To be a Phœnix, and that then can bee

None of that kinde, of which he is, but hee.

This is the worlds condition now, and now

She that should all parts to reunion bow, 220

She that had all Magnetique force alone,

To draw, and fasten sundred parts in one;

She whom wise nature had invented then

When she observ'd that every sort of men

Did in their voyage in this worlds Sea stray, 225

And needed a new compasse for their way;

She that was best, and first originall

Of all faire copies, and the generall

Steward to Fate; she whose rich eyes, and brest

Guilt the West Indies, and perfum'd the East; 230

Whose having breath'd in this world, did bestow

Spice on those Iles, and bad them still smell so,

And that rich Indie which doth gold interre,

Is but as single money, coyn'd from her:

She to whom this world must it selfe refer, 235

As Suburbs, or the Microcosme of her,

Shee, shee is dead; shee's dead: when thou knowst this,

Thou knowst how lame a cripple this world is.

And learn'st thus much by our Anatomy,

That this worlds generall sickenesse doth not lie 240

In any humour, or one certaine part;

But as thou sawest it rotten at the heart,

Thou seest a Hectique feaver hath got hold

Of the whole substance, not to be contrould,

And that thou hast but one way, not t'admit 245

The worlds infection, to be none of it.

For the worlds subtilst immateriall parts

Feele this consuming wound, and ages darts.

For the worlds beauty is decai'd, or gone,

[Sidenote: _Disformity of parts._]

Beauty, that's colour, and proportion. 250

We thinke the heavens enjoy their Sphericall,

Their round proportion embracing all.

But yet their various and perplexed course,

Observ'd in divers ages, doth enforce

Men to finde out so many Eccentrique parts, 255

Such divers downe-right lines, such overthwarts,

As disproportion that pure forme: It teares

The Firmament in eight and forty sheires,

And in these Constellations then arise

New starres, and old doe vanish from our eyes: 260

As though heav'n suffered earthquakes, peace or war,

When new Towers rise, and old demolish't are.

They have impal'd within a Zodiake

The free-borne Sun, and keepe twelve Signes awake

To watch his steps; the Goat and Crab controule, 265

And fright him backe, who else to either Pole

(Did not these Tropiques fetter him) might runne:

For his course is not round; nor can the Sunne

Perfit a Circle, or maintaine his way

One inch direct; but where he rose to-day 270

He comes no more, but with a couzening line,

Steales by that point, and so is Serpentine:

And seeming weary with his reeling thus,

He meanes to sleepe, being now falne nearer us.

So, of the Starres which boast that they doe runne 275

In Circle still, none ends where he begun.

All their proportion's lame, it sinkes, it swels.

For of Meridians, and Parallels,

Man hath weav'd out a net, and this net throwne

Upon the Heavens, and now they are his owne. 280

Loth to goe up the hill, or labour thus

To goe to heaven, we make heaven come to us.

We spur, we reine the starres, and in their race

They're diversly content t'obey our pace.

But keepes the earth her round proportion still? 285

Doth not a Tenarif, or higher Hill

Rise so high like a Rocke, that one might thinke

The floating Moone would shipwracke there, and sinke?

Seas are so deepe, that Whales being strooke to day,

Perchance to morrow, scarse at middle way 290

Of their wish'd journies end, the bottome, die.

And men, to sound depths, so much line untie,

As one might justly thinke, that there would rise

At end thereof, one of th'Antipodies:

If under all, a Vault infernall bee, 295

(Which sure is spacious, except that we

Invent another torment, that there must

Millions into a straight hot roome be thrust)

Then solidnesse, and roundnesse have no place.

Are these but warts, and pock-holes in the face 300

Of th'earth? Thinke so: but yet confesse, in this

The worlds proportion disfigured is;

[Sidenote: _Disorder in the world._]

That those two legges whereon it doth rely,

Reward and punishment are bent awry.

And, Oh, it can no more be questioned, 305

That beauties best, proportion, is dead,

Since even griefe it selfe, which now alone

Is left us, is without proportion.

Shee by whose lines proportion should bee

Examin'd, measure of all Symmetree, 310

Whom had that Ancient seen, who thought soules made

Of Harmony, he would at next have said

That Harmony was shee, and thence infer,

That soules were but Resultances from her,

And did from her into our bodies goe, 315

As to our eyes, the formes from objects flow:

Shee, who if those great Doctors truly said

That the Arke to mans proportions was made,

Had been a type for that, as that might be

A type of her in this, that contrary 320

Both Elements, and Passions liv'd at peace

In her, who caus'd all Civill war to cease.

Shee, after whom, what forme so'er we see,

Is discord, and rude incongruitie;

Shee, shee is dead, shee's dead; when thou knowst this 325

Thou knowst how ugly a monster this world is:

And learn'st thus much by our Anatomie,

That here is nothing to enamour thee:

And that, not only faults in inward parts,

Corruptions in our braines, or in our hearts, 330

Poysoning the fountaines, whence our actions spring,

Endanger us: but that if every thing

Be not done fitly'and in proportion,

To satisfie wise, and good lookers on,

(Since most men be such as most thinke they bee) 335

They're lothsome too, by this Deformitee.

For good, and well, must in our actions meete;

Wicked is not much worse than indiscreet.

But beauties other second Element,

Colour, and lustre now, is as neere spent. 340

And had the world his just proportion,

Were it a ring still, yet the stone is gone.

As a compassionate Turcoyse which doth tell

By looking pale, the wearer is not well,

As gold falls sicke being stung with Mercury, 345

All the worlds parts of such complexion bee.

When nature was most busie, the first weeke,

Swadling the new borne earth, God seem'd to like

That she should sport her selfe sometimes, and play,

To mingle, and vary colours every day: 350

And then, as though shee could not make inow,

Himselfe his various Rainbow did allow.

Sight is the noblest sense of any one,

Yet sight hath only colour to feed on,

And colour is decai'd: summers robe growes 355

Duskie, and like an oft dyed garment showes.

Our blushing red, which us'd in cheekes to spred,

Is inward sunke, and only our soules are red.

Perchance the world might have recovered,

If she whom we lament had not beene dead: 360

But shee, in whom all white, and red, and blew

(Beauties ingredients) voluntary grew,

As in an unvext Paradise; from whom

Did all things verdure, and their lustre come,

Whose composition was miraculous, 365

Being all colour, all Diaphanous,

(For Ayre, and Fire but thick grosse bodies were,

And liveliest stones but drowsie, and pale to her,)

Shee, shee, is dead; shee's dead: when thou know'st this,

Thou knowst how wan a Ghost this our world is: 370

And learn'st thus much by our Anatomie,

That it should more affright, then pleasure thee.

And that, since all faire colour then did sinke,

'Tis now but wicked vanitie, to thinke

[Sidenote: _Weaknesse in the want of correspondence of heaven and

earth._]

To colour vicious deeds with good pretence, 375

Or with bought colors to illude mens sense.

Nor in ought more this worlds decay appeares,

Then that her influence the heav'n forbeares,

Or that the Elements doe not feele this,

The father, or the mother barren is. 380

The cloudes conceive not raine, or doe not powre,

In the due birth time, downe the balmy showre;

Th'Ayre doth not motherly sit on the earth,

To hatch her seasons, and give all things birth;

Spring-times were common cradles, but are tombes; 385

And false-conceptions fill the generall wombes;

Th'Ayre showes such Meteors, as none can see,

Not only what they meane, but what they bee;

Earth such new wormes, as would have troubled much

Th'Ægyptian _Mages_ to have made more such. 390

What Artist now dares boast that he can bring

Heaven hither, or constellate any thing,

So as the influence of those starres may bee

Imprison'd in an Hearbe, or Charme, or Tree,

And doe by touch, all which those stars could doe? 395

The art is lost, and correspondence too.

For heaven gives little, and the earth takes lesse,

And man least knowes their trade and purposes.

If this commerce twixt heaven and earth were not

Embarr'd, and all this traffique quite forgot, 400

She, for whose losse we have lamented thus,

Would worke more fully, and pow'rfully on us:

Since herbes, and roots, by dying lose not all,

But they, yea Ashes too, are medicinall,

Death could not quench her vertue so, but that 405

It would be (if not follow'd) wondred at:

And all the world would be one dying Swan,

To sing her funerall praise, and vanish than.

But as some Serpents poyson hurteth not,

Except it be from the live Serpent shot, 410

So doth her vertue need her here, to fit

That unto us; shee working more then it.

But shee, in whom to such maturity

Vertue was growne, past growth, that it must die;

She, from whose influence all Impressions came, 415

But, by Receivers impotencies, lame,

Who, though she could not transubstantiate

All states to gold, yet guilded every state,

So that some Princes have some temperance;

Some Counsellers some purpose to advance 420

The common profit; and some people have

Some stay, no more then Kings should give, to crave;

Some women have some taciturnity,

Some nunneries some graines of chastitie.

She that did thus much, and much more could doe, 425

But that our age was Iron, and rustie too,

Shee, shee is dead; shee's dead; when thou knowst this,

Thou knowst how drie a Cinder this world is.

And learn'st thus much by our Anatomy,

That 'tis in vaine to dew, or mollifie 430

It with thy teares, or sweat, or blood: nothing

Is worth our travaile, griefe, or perishing,

But those rich joyes, which did possesse her heart,

Of which she's now partaker, and a part.

[Sidenote: _Conclusion._]

But as in cutting up a man that's dead, 435

The body will not last out, to have read

On every part, and therefore men direct

Their speech to parts, that are of most effect;

So the worlds carcasse would not last, if I

Were punctuall in this Anatomy; 440

Nor smels it well to hearers, if one tell

Them their disease, who faine would think they're well.

Here therefore be the end: And, blessed maid,

Of whom is meant what ever hath been said,

Or shall be spoken well by any tongue, 445

Whose name refines course lines, and makes prose song,

Accept this tribute, and his first yeares rent,

Who till his darke short tapers end be spent,

As oft as thy feast sees this widowed earth,

Will yearely celebrate thy second birth, 450

That is, thy death; for though the soule of man

Be got when man is made, 'tis borne but than

When man doth die; our body's as the wombe,

And, as a Mid-wife, death directs it home.

And you her creatures, whom she workes upon, 455

And have your last, and best concoction

From her example, and her vertue, if you

In reverence to her, do thinke it due,

That no one should her praises thus rehearse,

As matter fit for Chronicle, not verse; 460

Vouchsafe to call to minde that God did make

A last, and lasting'st peece, a song. He spake

To _Moses_ to deliver unto all,

That song, because hee knew they would let fall

The Law, the Prophets, and the History, 465

But keepe the song still in their memory:

Such an opinion (in due measure) made

Me this great Office boldly to invade:

Nor could incomprehensiblenesse deterre

Mee, from thus trying to emprison her, 470

Which when I saw that a strict grave could doe,

I saw not why verse might not do so too.

Verse hath a middle nature: heaven keepes Soules,

The Grave keepes bodies, Verse the Fame enroules.
