swéete and pretie mouth that laughed on her lippes And brings him backe to Cybels bed Her heart reuiued skips Reuiuing life where reckned death had wrought repentant teares The father fronted with a guile at length the damsell beares The infant vnto Oson towne and in her Ladies name Intreats Melissus daughters twaine to nourish vp the same Up to mountaine beare they him and in a secret Caue A mountaine Goat did giue him milke and so his life they saue His Nourses sounding Simbals once to drowne the Infants crie A manie Bées the Muses birdes into the Caue did flie Where making Honnie Saturnes sonne did long time liue thereby CHAP. III. IT doth remain of Iupiter as bow but then a lad From Epire to Pelasgis him the Lordes Epyrotes had To fetch their pledge Lycaon hild when time of truse had end Lycaon faining to consent that did not so intend Next day as though hee woulde dismisse the Legates with estate Did make to them a solemne feast when hauing slaine of late His noble pledge he brings his limmes and setteth them before His Countrimen to feed vpon in saused dishes store The Strangers and his Subiects too abhorring such a sight Sit gazing ech in others face bereft of speech and sprite Untill that lustie Iupiter a Stripling to behold Did take the limbes dismembred so and with a courage bold Did shew them through Pelasgis stréetes declaring by the way The murder of their blooddie king which did so much dismay The Citizens that euen they detesting such vnright Did rise in armes against their king where youthfull Ioue did fight So valiantlie that by his force Lyacon tooke his flight And after did by Roberies by blood and Rapines liue For which to him a Wooluish shape the Poets aptlie giue IN Fpyre and Pelasgis thus Ioue first his honour wonne But greater things vntouched are by this same Worthie donne And partlie in the monstrous warre that Titan and his Crue Did hold with Saturne when by search of Issues males he knewe The which his brother had aliue against their Couenant made When T●tan Uictor fast in hold was vanquisht Saturne laid Together with his wife and friends where sorrow much they past Till Iupiter did vnderstand his parentage at last He therefore landing toke in Create with well prouided men And slewe his vncle Titan and the Giant Tiphan then With most part of the Titanoies and sets his father free By meanes whereof they reconcile and wel a while agree NOt brooking then Apollos fault in that he entertaind The Remnant of the Titanoies that after warres remainde Apollo was by Iupiter inforced for to flie His kingdome Paphos and to liue exilde in Thessalie Where loue but chieflie penurie constrained him to kéepe Untill he was restored home the king Admetus shéepe And for his Sonne disdainfullie enuied Ioue his praise Ioue was the same Phisitions death that dead to life could raise Whose fame grewe thus As Asculap an heardsman did espie That did with easie fight inforce a Basalique to flie Albeit naturally that beast doth murther with the eie Apollos sonne perceauing him with Garland on his head Imagins as it was in déed some hearbe such vertue bred And for a profe he caused him to cast the wreath away When strait the beast her onelie eies the sillie man did slay Then Asculap him selfe did take the wreath and puts it on And by that meanes he ouercame the Basalique anon In hearbs that déeper force is hid then Science may containe I finde said he an hearb by hearb into his mouth did straine That lay for dead an hearb at last reuiuing him again Henceforth mē thought him more thē man when by his wondrous skil He rendred life to many like so winning great good will But as he waxed famous thus he famous waxed proud Disdaining all yea Ioue him selfe for Peere he disaloud Untill that Saturns angrie sonne reuenged it by death Correcting iustly each abuse as Rector on the Earth THe Sonnes renound thus added grace vnto the Fathers name But shadowes wait on substances and enuie followes fame Euen Saturne pompous Saturne ridde by Iupiter of Foes And feare of Titan did renewe his superstitious woes As touching former Oracle and hastis sommons sent Throughout his Realme to muster men in purpose to preuent By death of Ioue his destenie The men of Create repinde To put on armour to his ill whom they had found so kind But will they nill they so they must for so their king assign● And Saturne with his armed troupes into Arcadia went Where Iupiter forewarned of his fathers ill intent Intreated peace to him denide so that perforce he must Defend him from his froward Sier or rather foe vniust There might yee see king Saturne fight like to a Lion wood Whilst Iupiter did beare his blowes and spares his fathers blood and him that foo-like would him sley he friendlie did defend Desiring Saturne to retire till wordes were to no end The wilfull man pursuing blood Ioue ceaseth to persuade And rushing in amongst his foes so hot a skirmish●made That euerie blow sets blood on broch and so in little space Euen he who late he did intreate is followed now in chace By Arcas and his companie for Ioue refraind the flight Because against his countrimen hée had no will to fight Whilst lucklesse Saturn did escape by flight and fortune then And wandred long in vnquoth Seas depriude of wealth and men Uictorious Iupiter was crownde with glorie king of Create And Saturne now ariude at Troy for succour did intreate Ganymaedes king Trois sonne was sent in Saturns aid A worthie knight and valiant warre to Iupiter he made But hée and his were chased back euen to their Citie walles For who so stood with Iupiter by Iupiter he falles And there the Troyan Paragon Ganymides was taine Twixt whom and Iupiter thencefoorth sound friendship did remaine Then Saturne did the second time to Seas with shame retire And neuer after durst by warre against his sonne conspire But sayling into lower Realmes in Italie did dwell And hereof it is said his sonne did chase him into hell MEane while lesse ioyous of his fame then ielous of his freakes Her wrong Quéene Iuno on the Truls of Iupiter she wreakes Which was the cause that all too late he purposing returne To rescue Danae in whose loue he amorouslie did burne Was cast by stormes into the Seas that foorthwith tooke the name of him whom for his Piracies Ioue vanquisht in the same Yee might haue seene AEgaeon there with wreakfull wroth inflam● At sight of Ioue at whose decay he long in vaine had aimd And how that Ioue had now the worst and in a trise againe The Gyant with his twise thrée Barkes in hassard to be taine The Centaures shew them valerous so did Ixeon stout and braue Ganymaedes did deale his balefull dole about But when couragious Iupiter had beaten to the ground AEgaeon and in selfesame Chaines wherein he often bound The

but wanting all that poorest wretches haue And worst of all her sauage sonne whose manners did agrée Unto his birth-place howerly threates his mothers death to be And angrie once pursued her so long from place to place That euen into the Cittie gates he followed her in chase The people when they did behold so fayre a Nimph in flight A Baer-like Arcas in pursute for being naked quite His skinne was swart and hairie they did wonder at the sight And some that would his passage stop he rudely casteth downe And spares no spoyle vntill the sight was noysed through the towne Then out came Iupiter in Armes whome when Calysto knewe Helpe Ioue she cryde for loe thy sonne his mother doth pursue He knewe his Leiman at the first and ioyed of her sight Then kisse they when the Sauage boy by force did leaue to fight Calysto liued Lady-like yea Iunos Ryuall now And Arcas nobly mannaged such vertues him indowe That Ioue consenting him for King Pelasgis did Allowe A Sonne well worthy such a Syer and

outragious Cacus from vnpatientnes of mynde Who in his greatest tyrannies did chiefest pleasures finde He sleas the harmles Passengers from eldest soule to childe He burnes and spoyles the neighbour parts and women he defild And to his Caue Troponius Caue did bring the spoyles he gaynes In which except to do more harme he secretly remaynes Whilst none did passe that did repasse vnspoyled or

Worthy did ariue with his victorious band At King Euanders Cittie that by Auentin did stand Amongst a many ritcher Spoyles though none to him so rare He brought a sort of Spanish kyne Euander taking care Because the like misfortune oft had hapned there before Least Hercules should loose his Kyne of which he made such store Gaue counsell that within the walles they might be kept all night And better to approue his words with teares he did resight The murthers theftes and cruelties without compassion maide Upon his Subiects and their goods by whome could not be said But that the gods for so they gesse for sinne them so inuade I am resolu'd quoth Hercules where gods doe vengeance craue It is not strong or fensiue walles that any thing can saue My Kyne shall therefore graese abroade if mortall man it be Then know a Tyrant is my Taske his blood the Taskers fée The Cattell graesing then abroade as was his vse alwaies The Gyant left his cruell Denne to seeke his cursed praies The Moone not wanting of her light the Kyne he did espye And knowing them he also knewe his feared Foe was nye And f●r much better feare had bene then mallice at that tide But hardly shunneth pollicie what

Then stopping vp the subtill hole did lay him downe to rest Now Hercules the rather prickt by king Euanders talke Into the fieldes to sée his Kine by prime of day did walke Where missing eight he could not gesse which waie they should be gon A many therefore had in charge to search them out anon The Searchers following euery signe great store of footings found Discending from Mount Auentine into the lower ground But for the footings did discend and not ascend they thought of no such cunning as in deed in Auentine was wrought Alcaeus Grand-sonne searching long the Thefts he could not finde Was much disquieted in him selfe and angrie in his minde And chasing when he should depart he twise or thrise did shake A Tree that grue on Auent●ne which ●ooted vp did make So large a vent that

Hespera afraid Whose cruelties haue bene the cause of all the lesse thou hast What moueth thee in Italie to prosecute such waste Thinkst thou whom neither mightie Realmes nor royal Gards of mē Could late defend now to escape inclosed thus in Den The iust reuengement of the Goddes no no the Heauens wée sée Haue brought to light a wretch so lewd euen by a senceles Tree And since that neither wealth

ill Not suffring me to liue the rest of my vnhappie daies Among the fruitlesse rocks a wretch in miserie alwaies Cease further prate said Hercules in troth it gréeueth much To see a King in this Distresse but since thy life is such As nather in aduersitie nor prosperous estate Thou canst afford one iot of good I purpose to rebate Thy wicked dayes by worthy death prepare therefore to dye When Cacus sawe he must perforce so harde a combate trye He by inchanted flames againe endeuored to flye But Hercules deluded once by that deuise before Had learned now for being so deceaued any more And casting feare a side did leape into the flaming Caue And so by Arte did conquer Arte. The Gyant then to saue Him selfe did take his Axe in hand where Hercules and he Couragiously bestirre themselues vntill they did agrée To trye it out in open ayer So dolefull was their fight That Lookers on could not discerne to whether best should light The frighted Ladies did their best to helpe their fighting frend But Hercules had victorie and Cacus had his end CHAP.
