poor wretch yet at the length Delay did somewhat mirigate her woes Whom now hemd in a laberinth of griefs And heape of cares a while I meane to leaue Now of her birth hard haps and parents liues And natiue soyle wherein she now remaind And famous progenie I meane to speake In these seas O my Muse let saile thy barke And in this ground let run thy wagon wheeles Agenor once which ware the royall crowne And diademe within this land of Greece Summond by fate to appeare before the ghostes And stroken with deaths fame outracing dart Now at last gasp vpon his fatal bed Readie to die his sonne vnto him cald His only sonne Palemon whom he left To weare his crowne and sit vpon his throne He cam● Agenor tooke him by the hand And shedding teares thus dolefullie gan speak Thou seest my sonne how death now summons me T'appeare before the supreame king of kings Oh see my son how Atropos extendes Her hand euen novv to cut in two the thred I must depart the Fates wil haue it so Ingraue thou therefore in thy youthfull mind Thy dying fathers last and latest words This kingdome now fals vnto thee by lot And in my steed thou must this throne possesse Be therefore wise and as thou knowst I haue So be thou carefull of thy subiects wealth Giue vice his due and vertue his rewardes And that thy progenie may also sit Vpon this throne and weare thy royal crowne Choose thee a wife equall to thee in birth Respecting vertue and not greedy gaine More for her wisdome fame and chastitie Then riches forme and transitorie shape So shall our progenie for euer sit In this high seat and weare this royall crowne This said such death presaging pangs opprest His dying heart that speech was tooke away At length great Iuno pittying his estate Sent many-colloured Iris downe from heauen Of life Dame Iris quickly him dissolu'd Straight to a sigh huge death bringing grone Out flew his breath and to the ghosts gan poste Ay me how did this sad and gastfull sight Apale Palemons yong couragious mind Thrise fel he down and thrise againe was tooke Half dead frō ground so nature in him wrought Yet when this dolor gan it selfe remooue And cloud of griefe to vanish from his mind He comfort tooke and for his buriall rites And funerals all things he soone preparde With regaltie and worthie such a prince And Potentate were speedily dispatcht He caried with a noble troope of Peeres In mourning weedes to Pallas temple rich And there in Marble royally entombde Shortly met all the Noble men againe And princelie Peeres this mourning laid aside And with one minde as was his right they made Palemon king in olde Agenors steed The set the Crowne vpon his youthfull head And princelie Scepter in his regall hand He gouern'd them and to them he gaue lawes He was their Lord he was their onlie king Three times had Ver expelling Hiems frosts Refresht the earth which like a Chaos were Three times againe had blustering Hyems nipt The fragrant hearbs which Ladie Ver had brought When gouerning the famous land of Greece And quite forgetfull of his fathers wordes His Lords and Princes gan him wisely mooue To take a wise sprong of some royall bloud Alleaging that it would commodious be To him and not vnpleasant vnto them A sonne to see begotten of his seed So being olde yet should he still be young So being dead he still in them should liue And furthermore say they thy neighbour King Tuiston high in Germanie who raignes One daughter hath a Virgine passing faire In vertue wealth in birth and natures gifts Excelling rich most royall and renownd Who after him shall weare the imperiall crowne And by ambassage to thy father sent Who lately hath her proferd to thy wife And if so be thou minded art to saile To Germanie to see this sacred impe whose vertues rare shril Fames loud-sounding trump Hath almost blazed throughout all the world Weele guarde thee thither and a fit time now It is it was spring tyde to cut the seas He straight wayes moou'd at these his Princes words Burnt in desire to see this virgin rare But by Embassadors he minded first To know Tuistons mind and whether she Was not betroth'd to an any other king For els his welcome might haue bene but colde His sute denide and all his labour lost Embassadors he therefore sent in haste Who speedily returnde with gladsome newes Newes that Tuiston greatly would reioyce And be most glad to see him in his realme Palemon hereat leapt for ioy in mind And for his iourney all things soone preparde And royally with manie of his peeres Did shipping take and cut the Caerule seas And in short space winds furthering his intent Arriued at Tuistons Germain coast Soone heard Tuiston that Agenors sonne Was in his realme and comming towards his court Who speedily with all his valiant peeres Came foorth to meet and welcome this great prince Iulina also for so called was Tuistons daughter guarded on each hand With troups of Ladies faire and gallant imps Impsable euen to make Adonis yeeld To welcome this yoong Prince came with her Sire She went ah not vnlike in view she went To Regall Iuno wife of kingly Ioue Had Venus bene among them Venus would Haue seemd to her inferior farre in shape In pregnant wit she Pallas did surpasse And to be briefe more coy and chast she was Then that groue-haunting goddesse who delightes In menacing the wilde and sauage beasts Palemon saw her and he was amaz'd At her rare forme and excellence in shape Her looks her gesture and mind-pleasing words Allured so his captiuated minde Accusing Fame one while whom then he thought Too partiall was in sounding her due prayse And whom euen now he did but wish to see As greatlie now he did desire to haue Which in short time I studie to be briefe He did obtaine to both their sweet contents Their wedding day appointed now was come I will not tell here what triumphant shewes And ioy was held throughout all Tuistons land The higher sort in honour of their Queene On Coursers braue their valiant prowesse shewd The rusticke crue made bonefiers in their streetes The pastorall troope made fieldes with duties sound But that dayes pleasure soone gan passe away His fiery steeds now Tytan did vnyoke Her pitchie steedes now Luna did bring foorth Night summond wearie limmes to take their rest This princely couple layd them down in bed Most ioyfully But oh vnhappie time O lucklesse night the spousall wife of Ioue Was not here present Hymon was not here Eumenides and Furies present were And from the chamber top in hellish notes The Screech owle sang a lamentable song Twise with full circle twise with wained hornes Did Cinthia see Agenors sportiue sonne Courting Iulina his new wedded wife And froliking in olde Tuistons Court When sudenly a great desire to see His countrie Greece was kindled
