table of contents
THE NEW-FOVND POLITICKE.
The first Raguaglio of the first part.
The most soueraigne vertue Fidelitie, being se∣cretly fled from Parnassus, Apollo hauing discouered where shee had hidden her selfe, dispatcheth the two most excellent Muses, Melpomene and Thalia, to perswade her to returne.
Apollo perceiuing the great disorders, that the flight of the sacred vertue Fidelitie, bred in all Mankind, by the mediation of the Soue∣raigne Muses, and of the sublime Heroike Ver∣tues, obtaineth her returne into Parnassus.
Iustus Lipsius, to make amends for the fault hee had committed in accusing of Tacitus, doth so passionately obserue him, that before Apollo he is charged to idolatrize him: whereupon af∣ter a faigned, and but verball punishment, hee it in the end by his Maiestie, not only absolued, but highly commended and admired.
The chiefest learned men of Parnassus are sutors vnto Apollo; to enioyne Tacitus, to recompile those bookes of his Annales and Histories, which are lost.
Cornelius Tacitus, for some complaints vrged against him by diuers great Princes, by reason of certaine politicall spectacles, which he hath deuised, most preiudiciall vnto their gouern∣ment, hauing beene emprisoned, is by Apollo set at libertie.
The Duke of Laconia, for hauing aduanced a most faithfull Secretarie of his, to the highest dignities of his estate, is accused before Apollo to idolatrize and dote vpon a Mignon: but he doth most egregiously defend himselfe.
Apollo, bewailing the wofull wrackes, which in the Courts of great Princes, his vertuous fol∣lowers suffer, and fall into; for to assure their Nauigation, commandeth some of the chiefest learned men in his Dominion, to endeuour to frame a Sailing-card, to saile safely by land.
The Lord Iohn de la Casa, hauing presented his quaint Galateo, or booke of Manners vnto A∣pollo, meeteth with great difficulties in diuers Nations, about their promises to obserue the same.
Apollo hauing highly commended the Statute, made by the most mighty Kings of Spaine, that no Aduocates, Lawyers, or Proctors shall passe into the Indies, the Doctors of the Law finding themselues aggrieued, complaine vnto his Ma∣jestie.
An Apothecarie, at the very instant, that he is taken prisoner by Sergeants, without being examined at all, is forthwith condemned and sent to the Gallies.
The vertuous people of Apollo's State hauing consigned vnto his Maiesties Generall Treasu∣rer the accustomed Donatiue of a thousand conceits, according to their custome they beg a boone or grace at his hands.
By letters intercepted, and taken from a Currier, dispatched by some Princes to the Lake of Auerno, the common people come to know, that the rancors and hatreds now raigning among diuers Nations, are occasioned and stir∣red vp by the artifices of their Princes.
Antonio Perez of Aragon, hauing presented the Booke of his Relations vnto Apollo, his Ma∣iesty doth not onely refuse to accept it, but com∣mandeth the same to be presently burnt.
The Monarchie of Spaine is much agrieued, that her falshoods and treacheries are discouered.
The Spanish Monarchie arriueth in Parnassus, She intreateth Apollo to be cured of a Cau∣terie: Shee is dismissed by the politike Physi∣tians.
The Spanish Monarchie goeth to the Oracle of Delphos, to know whether shee shall euer ob∣taine the Monarchie of the world; she hath a crosse answer.
Philip the second of that name, King of Spaine, after long strife about his Title, makes his so∣lemne entrie into Parnassus.
The Dogs of the Indies are become Wolues.
The French are humble sutors vnto Apollo, to know the secret, how to perfume gloues after the Spanish fashion.
Why the Monarchy of Spaine is lately retired into her Palace.
How the ministers and officers of Spaine are continually interessed in their priuate profit.
Apollo hauing vsed all possible meanes, and ex∣quisite diligence, to haue some one of the Court-Mignons, or Princes-Idols taken and appre∣hended, doth seuerely proceed against one late∣ly fallen into the hands of the Iudges.
The whole race or Genus of Sheepe send their publike Ambassadors to Apollo, by whom they earnestly entreat him to grant them sharp teeth and long hornes: whose suit is by his Maiesty scorned and reiected.
In a publike congresse or Assembly, contrary to the accustomed manner of the Phoebean Court, Force hauing pretended to preceed Reputati∣on; that illustrious Lady with an excellent re∣solution, maintaineth her reputation and credit which was in some danger.
The Prouince of Focides by her Ambassadors complaineth vnto Apollo, that his Maiesties officers doe not permit her to enioy her priui∣ledges: whose request is not only reiected, but they haue a most sharp and vnpleasant answer.
Socrates hauing this morning beene found dead in his bed, Apollo vseth all possible diligence, to discouer the true occasion of his sudden death.
Natalis Comes the Historian, for hauing spoke some thing in a publike congresse of learned men, that grieuously offended Apollo, is by his Maiestie seuerely punished.
