thou not sée these peruke Gréekes who vs besought no wayes When as their toures they topt aloft and rampires great did raise Their fame all Countreys thus shal fill and of their buildings ring And walles by me and Phoebus built they down on ground shal ding Their name encreast our labour lost the Marine God thus spake Who often by his proper power doth force the earth to quake In anger Ioue straight answerd thus what sayst thou Neptūe here A meaner God of right then you these doings ought to feare You are to great your glorie spreads as far as day doth start For these gay towers and trenches wide when their hie ships depart To Greece their Countrey to returne their worke destroy and race Drewhelm it clean with sand therof that none may know the place The son straight after downe it drawes and vp the night it gat And al things done the Gréekes at rest in their pauilions sat And many a béefe for supper slue and there that instant tide Diuers kéeles full fraught with wine from Lemnos fat did ride Euneus faire Hipsiphils son to Iason which she bare For trafficke some and some to giue causde thither to repayre For of these new and pleasaunt wines a thousand tuns he ful Gaue to the chiefetaine of the war the Gréekes came down in scul And barter for the wine apace in hauen where it lay Some brasse exchaungde some yron some hides prisoners some do paye Some bullockes from their heards do giue and so they drink cōtent That all the night no iote they slept but it in chéering spent Againe the Troyans ful at wil possest what they disirde But Ioue he did them much amaze the heauen so it firde With thunder and with lightning flames which al y e night did last Deuout his anger to appease vpon the ground they cast In sacrifice great store of wine the time then calme and quiet They tend to Cabane at their ease and sound in sléepe lye by it Finis Septimi Libri ¶ The eight Booke THe morning with the ruddie hew on earth did shew his blée When Ioue the Prince of lightnings al to counsels calleth he In welkin bright ech mightie God who set in order due And héedie all to hearke thus Ioue into his tale he grew Ye troupe diuine giue eare to me attend what now I wil Which hauing heard none of you al be ye of minde so ill Whether he male or female be to déeme to chaunge my doome Or crosse the same who out the troupe shal go and leaue his roome The heauens who shal leaue I say in Gréekes or Troyans aide Him catcht wel bumbd I shal him boh and send him ill apaide With shame ynough vnto his home and if I grow to spight I wil him tumble headlong down and cause him for to light Into the hollow dreadful hole which Tartare men do tel Where Barathrum that gastful gulfe doth lye so low in hel With yron gates so far beneath as earth from skie remaines That wel to al men it be knowen how large my power it raignes But if you long to féele my sorce at pleasure you shal sée it From hence to take a golden chaine vnto the earth agrée it All get you down your heau●…nly powers apply with tooth nayle To plucke me down or me to moue you little should auayle In fine your toyle to nought would turne but I if that I lust To drawe you to the welkin vp in spite of you yée must Amount aloft without my griefe and with you at a pul I eke would bring the massie earth and seas of waters ful One ende in heauen I would tie and let the other hang That I the chiefe of God and man the knowledge better rang This threat and surly spéech doth yéelde the Gods amazde dum Til Pallas daughter vnto Ioue with this hir tale doth come O king of kings great fire of Gods whom eche and al obayes Long skil doth tel thy might to passe our forces many wayes But ifsome one do helpe the Gréekes it is not in disdaine Or spite of thée but pitie moues to sée them dayly slaine Wel

fauour too as best your fancie likes I will at this time pleasure you you shal no way be chid Then Ioue his mightie heauenly stéedes vnto his chare doth bid To tie his golden roabes he takes so bright and brauely wrought He mounteth vp and to his hand the golden whip he rought His horse he beates the ayre they cliue aloft they skimme amaine Betwéene the earth and welkin hie they treade a iolly trayne He plyes them and so straight doth guide vnto the mountaine top Of Ide hight Gargarus cōmes and there he makes them stop A place of pleasaunt pasture it where waters swéete do spring Wild beasts great store on this gréene hil so likt for euery thing A temple large of antique yeares was built and sacred old By Troyans to his godhead hie where Ioue now stay he would Ambrosie for his horse he gets and least it should be known That he was come he with a cloude hath quite them ouerthrown He from the height of mountain hie the champion low doth view The siegers and besiegde he likes

Th'assayling Gréeks for to resist and countrey saue at néede And to protect their natiue soyle and shield their patrie bréede Their gatesful open wide they set and out their cohorts hies Their horsemen and their footemen al not without lofty cries And to the place of battel come they to their tackle fling With shield to shield and dart to dart and king doth ioyne w t king And souldiour vnto

with bloud the fields do runne This murder from the morning lastes vntil the noone of day Both sides so soundly stroke it out right doubtful was the fray Then Ioue to sée to whom should turne the
