bold began assay How he could buckle with the monsters force Not meaning once to harbor mild remorce Downe he alighted from his milk-white steed And gaue him Veramount to walk o' th plaine Then stept to'th monster with a wise-bold heed Thou monstrous fiend quoth he thy pray refrain For with my sword I le work thy mortall paine The beast gan looke as one tbat were adrad Fearing her future hap would proue full bad At length as one that from a traunce awakes She stretched foorth her selfe vpon the ground And to her cursed tongue herselfe be takes Hoping hir speech wold yield best aid that stound Faire Sir quoth she t' is said this soile hath found That I haue brought this Countries good to spoyle But knight beleeue me I haue t'ane much toile To feare the wolues with changed voyce of tong When they haue e'en beene ready to assaile The ewes that haue beene suckling their yong Then hath my speech their purpose causde to faile My very heart doth bleede O how I waile To thinke vpon the spoyle the wolues would make Did not my Care them force their prey forsake To her Syrenian song the Knight gaue eare And noted in her speech how subtill Arte Her gesture framde to eu'ry word so neare That had he beene a man of massiue hart He would haue melted at her Mermaides part But he being a Knight of noble spirit Her tongue could not him of his heart dis'nherit But spurr'd him to reuenge the spoyle she made Commixt with poyson of hypocrisie He strait vnsheathes his trusty steeled blade And silent doth demonstrate presently The bottome of his minde effectually Soone as she feeles the smart she startes abacke And for defence with poyson hellie blacke Forth hurled from her wide stretcht foaming throat She thinkes t' infect the vninfected Knight But stowt Mauortio wore a steeled coate So iunctly ioynted that in all their fight Hir hellish poyson neuer enter might All were it natur'd still to search for way To saue hir life by hir foes liues decay Short had the fight bin had she onely beene And great his honour by hir only death But eu'ry drop of bloud his sword all keene Causde issue from hir noysome steeming breath Transformed were to monsters on the heath All with their poyson like a rounding ring The good encombred Knight encompassing So that the more that she enhoped him By deadly gaspes the conquest soone would end The more his labour sprung and seem'd to dim Eftsoones alas the hope his toile did send Yet he of all was victor in the end And for this act vntill the end his fame Wil through the world high raise Mauortio's name The Knight about to sheath chaunc'd turne his eie And spies the multitude that him enround Nay then quoth he no time approacheth me To take our leaues of this thiefe-harb'ring ground Before Apollo Thetis lap hath found They all shall die if heau'n doth smiling stand Viewing the heart of his Mauortio's hand His ' squire with artfull courage aides his knight Both vsde their blades vnto so good auaile That who had ei'd this bloudy fi'rie fight Might here see maimed wights low creeping traile Their owne hew'd limbes there gasping iawes that waile To see their limbs lopt from their bodies lie On hugie heapes like vnto mountaines high And twixt thē streams of streaming blod swift running With bloudles trunks lop'd heads legs thighs and armes Vpon the riuer like dead fishes swimming Ere Sol with Neptune sleeped slept their harmes All beeing shooke with deaths all deadly charmes O happy houre that so Mauortio ioy'd To see the monsters by his arme destroy'd This noble conquest made him famouzed By all the heards throughout the Deltan soile Who vow'd his name should be aeternized Despight of Fortune and her trustlesse foyle In memorizing lines which worldly broyle Nor Enuies canker neuer should deface Long as the world retaine's her worldly face O peerelesse worth O worth Mauortian Heau'n vpholding Atlas warres melodie Knight of the lilly heauens champion Artes patron Muses dearest Adonie Vrania's soule refreshing Castalie Worthy the world the world not worthy thee That art deem'd worthy of the deitie Of heauen it selfe that but eu'n now lamented The sun-fall of thy selfe whom heau'n disdained Whom heau'ns high trinary was not contented That in the world thy spirit be contained But there shuld dwel where Ioue himself remained For that on earth thy spirit earth directed Heau'n hath thy spirit for high heau'n elected While heau'n did daigne the world should him inioy The nine-fold Sorory themselues exiled Euen from their natiue home to arts annoy From twin-topt mount vnto a place defiled Where pined writ and starued art compiled Their harm they knew harm with heart imbraced To nurse their deare heart by their cheap art graced Graced by nurses arts nurse highly grac'd him Who fed him with pure marrow of the Muses And when he list with moisture to refresh him He drunke cleare Helicon cleare from abuses He bent his mind to pure Vranian vses Vranianie him did to heau'n vpreare And made to man him demi-god appeare Since wisedome then vpreares a man to heau'n Since wisedome then that doth high God adore When he of all that earth yeelds is bereau'n When all els failes doth God-like him decore O world erect thy blisse on wisedomes lore The greatest man decores not wisedomes horne But wisedome doth the meanest wight adorne Pieria's darling cleare-streaming Helicon Boeotia's pearle the nine voic'd harmony Heart crystalline tongue pure Castalion Delta's Adamant Elizium's melody Vrania's selfe that sung coelestially Was then for Mars apt by the Muses nurs'd For Mars his knights are ' squires to'th muses first Downe to the world descended Mars at length When the Pierides had knit the veines That from his heart did giue his body strength With soule-sweet Manna marrow of the reines Downe he descended and no whit disdaines To liue on earth leauing the sacred skies Only the muses deare to Martialize But O when Delta's hope the muses wonder Foes feare feares foe Ioues martialist On Thetis gan like to a fearefull thunder Make Hydra shake with a Dodonian fist When Delta deem'd her selfe in him thus blest Then Delta of her hope was quite bereaued See how the world is by the world deceiued The Phoebus of his soile scarce shewd his sheen And fac'd the West with smiling Aurory When fatall Neptune with his trident keene Behind him hal'd him to his Thetisie But Ioue downe sent swift-winged Mercurie And charged him to lay him 's wings vpon And be the conuoy of his champion When Mercurie approch'd the seat of Ioue With Mauors spirit on his winged arme Ioue daign'd descend downe from his seat aboue And him imbraced with all heau'nly charme Aboue the lofty skies deuoid of harme Sits Mauors spirit as a demi-god Instead of Mars swaying his warlike rod. While Mars himselfe goes wandring vp and downe Associated with the sacred brood That hand in hand like an
