st●rr Nor Phoebus li●ht in glomie darknes spred Might matche with her she staind that beautie farr But tho shew is most admirable fair Her lyfe as strange was as her beautie ra●e 15. For finding by his curious searching out Evne at he● birth this visione to enswe H● thought she wes the flamme if not put out That should his croune and kingdome thus subdue Vheirfore resolud for to preuent mischeif Her death must be the way to his releif 16. The dolfull message of this wofull charge He to a Groome whom he most trusted gau● A ●outh whoe 's faith he oft had tryd at large Him he commands the infant to reseaue An● to t●ansport her to a woode or montaine And droune her in sum river Spring or fontaine 17. O crewell sentence barbarous decrie O ha●pie chyld but oh vnhappie Father That for a dreame a tove a fantasie A vaine Chime●a or hell● vision rather Wold spoyle so sweet a creature of breath And kill thy self to saue th●●elf from death 18. In Acheron blak Night her selfe did wrapp And heaud her head aboue the Easterne streame But Titan dyud in Thetis watrie lapp While yow might see him blushing reid for shame Thence to be chass'd with his fearce foe vnkynd That braith'd furth darknes to the farthest Ind. 19. In darkest shaddowes of the glomie night This Messinger furthe throw the desert goes The harmeles Infante harmefull death to dight That her poore lyfe now got she now might lose So suckling lambs by rauening wolfs ar torne And doues by Eggles to their deaths furth borne 20. This Messinger Kalander heght to name Whoe 's Syre the greattest Prince be●eth the croune Boor rewell o'ur Sparta land of antient fame His witt and valour wan him mu●h renoune Whoe 's Sone of these tuo ve●tewes wanted nether But shewd him self the Sone of such a Father 21.

To Helicons fair mont he taks his flight Praying the bloude of this poore Innocent Vpone the Fathers head might alwa●es light That in disgrace and sh●me he might rep●nt For doating dreams if this poo●e Infant die His be the fault the losse the infamie 23. Thus praying he approch'd vnto the place Hypocrene downe wheir the Muses sport Vewing the beautie of this Angels face Againe it moud his pitie in such sort He nought regairds the King nor lyfe not all But saves the babe frome ruine death and fall 24. Leauing her saiflie by the fontane syde Vnder the vmbrage of a loftie Pyne Wishing her frowning Fates for to prouyde Her beautie once into the world might shyne Thus he returns and thus the King beguyld And craftily with suggred words him sild 25. When golden-haitd Apollo furth did glance His amber loks furth throwes irradi●nt beams And one the esterne waues begins to daunce To murm'ring musick of the roaring streams The Muses for to welcome home their Syre From coutche and secreit Cell did furth retayre 26. Their daylie morning progres is to vew The sacred streams of Aganippe well whoe● murmur like sweet lullabies furthdrew Old Morpheus from out his quiet cell Vho had the babe with slumbring sleip bereft whom young Kalander at the fontane left 27. These sacred Virgins when they did espye The babe sad fear made all their beautie fade Fearing discouerie by sum wantone eye But vewing well the beautie of the Mayde They vewd admiring an● admi●d the sight Their sight bred wounder wounder b●ed delight 28. Such beautie rare till then they nere had sein But feard it was sum stolne virgini●ie Wheir With theme selfs so spotles pure and clein They wold not thus defyle in infamie But instruments the Fates did them ordaine Of pleasure lyfe perplexi●ie and paine 29. For pitie them forbad of creueltie Vnto this harmeles helple● innocent Wherefor with graue aduise and modestie The Muses all in vniforme consent Brings vp the babe with care full obseruation In vertue grace and heaunly meditatione 30. The sacred Muses that in vertue shone As if they well had knowne the Fates decreit Vnto the infant wold a name impone A name conforme and to her meritts meit So that a correspondence might be knowne Betuixt her name and her hid Fate vnshowne 31. And dyueing then wit● drops divyne her heid Fair Lissa or Laissa thay her cald A proppre name for her mishaps indeid Who subiect was to daungers manyfold For Lissa is asmuche to say as rage Vheirin no force her furie could asswage 32. When with the Musses she remaind weell neir wh●le she did rune of fyifteine yeares the race Eune ●or the loue which they to her did beir Eache one of them indued her with a grace But lo these gifts made her enuyd of al● Thus loue b●ought gifts gifts hate and hate her fall 33. Yea to the fair Laissa in her birth The heauns wer all affect'd so feruentlye Looking with myld a●pect vpon the earth In th● horoscope of her natiuitye That all the gift of grace and goode perfection They pourd on her most beautifull complection 34. Her face was lyke the sky bothe cleire and fair Her cheeks as whyt with vermeil red did show Lyke roses in a bed of lillies rare Whill they ambrosiall odours from them throw Feiding the gaizers sense with double pleasure Such force his beauties all-celestiall treasure 35. In whoe 's bright eyes tuo lyuelie lamps did flame That dairted beam's lyik lightning blasts of thunder Cupid tho blind still ayming at the same Thousands of shafts he sende but with great wounder She breks his wantone dairts with awfull yre And with dreid maiestie she quensh'd has fyre 36. The Graces one her ey-lid's seem'd to sitt Vnder the shadow of her bending browes Her goldin treases couriouslye was knitt With Pelicans of pearle and siluer doues These hair lyke goldin weir one eurye pairt Se●ud as a nett for the beholders hart 37. Her yuorie fo●head was a table fair Wheir Loues triumphs we●e cunninglie ingrapht All goodnes honor dignitie was their In vertues treasure litle hade she left Sh● was the mirrour of cèlestiall grace That can not be outrune with tym● swift pace 38. And yow might sie that alwa●es when sho spak Sweit words l●ik dropping hony she wold shed Tuo rainge of pearle with rubies tuo wold brak The words betuix them softlye whill they fled Which made sweit siluer sound 's whoe 's noy ●ent furth Wold deadlie sadnes moue to amarous mirth 39. And yet her humble and submissiue mind Was neuer moud with hellishe pryde to rise But why should I poore I descrybe her kind Which to expres no mortall can deuise Nor can I preis to paint furthe such a feature Least skilles I should wrong so fair a creture 40. Fair Imps of beautie
