And then that Alcreator did ordaine Eache thing according to their substance pure To bring furthe fruit this all to intertane Which by his powre he caused to indure Nor tyme nor age nor restles moueing may Destroy confound or weir or make decay 9. First then the Heav'ns as haueing most of bewtie Brought furthe the starr's the Moone the Suns great light And aer conmmanded next to do his dewetie Brought furthe all sorts of fouls with fe●h●ed flight Water brought furth all sort of fishe anone The Earthe brought furthe all beasts that leiue theiron● 10.

For why when this great God made all things first To beute did he giue the heighest place Becaus it was the substance worthiest Of the aspect of his most glorious face Then whoso eu'with beautie is indewd Them shuold we loue as through Gods loue renued 15 And if so be in Chaos mas confus'd Sum say their was no l●ght nor beautie fair But God th● fontane of all light infus'd Such be●●eo●s light in all his creturs rare Then vnto whom he beautie geues to those His grace hi● goodnes and his loue he shoes 16.

Melpomene made way throw empty aer And through the wattrie empyrs wyde and deip Through darkest hollow caues she did repair And trough he bowell of the Earth did ●reip And low where light of day did neue● shyne Nor Phoebus show his euerlasting shryne 20. Wheir Cynthia does steip in siluer dew Her neue● cheirfull euer d●ouping light In Thetis watrie bed whoe 's a zur hew Her lustre showes in blak ete●nall ●ight Through fearfull soath fume foull filthie fenns Throgh foggie smook throgh dark dreadfull dens 21. She haueing past frome Phoebus cheirfull light Came to a R●gione of eternall darknes The habitation of the dun kishe Night It wes indeid so fearfull was the ma●knes She meitts that greislye Hagge with visage sadd Who was into a cole blak mantle cladd 22. And sat into a chariot pitchie blak Four ieatblack steids that braith'd dark clouds of smook W●th ramping noyes made all their harnei● crak With braying all the solid earth the shooke This vnaquainted brightnes when they saw Their Mistres doune to hell they seem'd to draw 23. At ●a●t the Muse so oft aloud did call That vglie Night out of ther chariott looks She sayes most dreidfull Dame so feard of all Melpomene that tragi●k sadnes brooks Wold know thy w●yes da●k paths fearfull get● That doune to Plutoes loathsum kingdome lets 24. The aged Hagg with furious rage thus spake With gostly sp●eche and dreidfull countenance Thow Imp of my old foe who seiks my wrack Why trubles thow my Regions with thy glance Lo wheir fyre smook and sulphur doe aryse In younder denne of thow dar enterpryse 25. The greisly gulf of deip Auernus holle Aboue the which my mantle black is spred About the which a fearfull laick doth rolle Doune throw that flamming gulf thow must be led Wheir neuer yit did enter any wight But feirce Aneas and Sibilla bright 26. Eune that same way the sacred Muse is gone The smook and sulphur ceast their restles flame And doune to Plutoes court she goes anone The brasin getts burst oppen when she came At ther bright looks and at her beautie● g●●nee Feinds spirits and Ghosts fell in a hellische traunce 27. Ou'r Acheron she past the bitter waues Wheir damned souls with sh●iling skre●ks lament To Flegithone with fy●e floods that shewes The tort●●ng torment of that element Wheir Sinners nought but desperatione gains And thou sand thou sands of eternall pains 28. At Plutos gate was dreidfull Cerberus With thrie wyid oppin hollow throats deuoring And curled hair of sna●ks most venemous Gnawing blood fleshe and bones with fearfull roring But her deuyne and Sune-shyne beauties such Hells porter dar's not once her vesture tutch 29. Straight to the house of endles paine she goes Inuiround with that fyrie flamminge floode Th●t Phlegithone whoe 's fearfull laick furth
his throught alone Feard that Penardo's hardie enter pryse Was but a craftie traine to draw him on And that the armie in some corner lay His campe vpone a suddane to betreay 26. Yet being of a mightie galant mynd He sham'd to flie at his imaginatione Wheir fore in hast to Athens did he send Wheir Brando lay at seige to show the fashione Brando the reull ou'r Seruia did hold Stout hardy wight aduentorous and bold 27. Which when he hard his seige he rais'd in hast And to the Prince Phelaston martch'd along Now know that in his camp thei● was at least One horse and fute sum tuentie thousand strong To Sigismund those newes he shortlie sends Who rais'd his seige frome Thebs and thither wends 28. Now Primum mobile hade drawen the light with his sw●ft course out of ou● Hemispere And ●pred the ●eatblack mantle of the night That summonds all the creatures with fear Vnto their rest then for to be thair sheild They built a canues citie on the feild 29. Whil thus he had incamped in their sight Set furth his watch his campe intrinshit strong This Campioune caus'd disarme them all that night For their refreshment afte● iorney long After repast the Prince to sleip is gone And in his sleip appeird this visione 30. A virgine Nymphe whoe 's beautie dimd the sky Wi●h saddest looks with sobs with sighs with tears So sorowfull she seem'd with weipping ey Led by tuo feinds of Pluto's griesly fears Her body seem'd all dyed in crimsone blood Her garment skoarch'd in flamm's of hellish brood 31. Thus leading her hard by him as he thought She cryd o sweitt Penardo lend thy ayde Whoe 's only strength the fates decree has wrought To end the ceasles torments of a Mayde Wheirat him thought he start with suddane fear Drawing his brand those hellishe feinds to tear 32. But then with myldest speeche she sayd no more Thy willingnes suffeizeth at this tyme A g●eater danger thow must pas before Thy happie ayde geue end vnto my cryme But mightie Ioue in danger warre and st●yfe Preserue thy fame thy honor and thy lyfe 33. Not farr their stands within a pleasant vaill Ane altar built at Agamemnons cost In honor of fair Pallas sacred Cell When he was captain of the Graetiane host Their lyes a sword a sheild ane armour fair Of woorth of wounder and of vertue rare 34. Feight not before yow haue this armour on Whose woorth shall much aduance thy wondrous fam● For know this much before tuo dayes by gone That Pluto has conspyrt to spoyle thy name For he has send the Feinds in legions foorth To seik to shame to wrack to staine thy woorth 35. And thus she vanisht quyt out of his sight He wakeing one a suddane from his sleip ●hought this to be a fantasie too light That from his humor'd braine did fondlie creip Yet warlie did his thoughts one witt attend Weying if good or ill theron depend 36. Aurora in her purple robe arose Warning p●oud Titan for to light the d●y And drew the courtens that did h●m disclose In Thetis louelie armes that dalleing lay Who stole away and in the gloomie East Reard vp aboue the Earth his flamming crest 37. How soone the Prince espyit his goldine light He cald for Mandadorus Prince of Mesone This Mandadorus was of greattest might Of all his subiects saue the Duik of Thesone To him he told his dreame who said your grace May try 't and trying lett the trueth haue place 38. Wheirfore he send and from his antient roume Causd raise the altar wheir they fand a stone Of Alabastre builded lyk a Toumbe In greik sum letters wer ingraft theron Those we ethe words ingraph't in gold so fyne That now as first their lustre seem'd to shyne 39. This pretious stone ane armour does retain Whos 's woundrous woorth as yit shal no man know Vntill the Spreit of them that liues in pain Eune to a mightie stranger shaell them show Who with the same recalls relents releifs Thrie Souls from paine from death frō Hells mischeifs 40. Hid was the meaning darck the sentence seemd Of all the trueth they could not rype the ground But this fair costlie armour as they deemd Had at the famous wars of Troy beine found Which graue and wyse Cassandra had inuented For Paris Troys feirce fall to haue preuented 41. Lo thus it was she knowing by her art The ruine of heaun threatning Troy drew neir And that proud Paris his vniust de●ert Should be the caus of such an endles weir To him by art she had this armour wrought That all the Gods decree might turne to nought 42. Fo● she discending to the lowest Hells Her mightie powre in magick force she shew The greislie Ghosts stood trembling whill she tells Her will in frameing of this armour new Loath to prouyd remorce remeid releif Who ioy'd in blood warre murther and mischeif 43. Yitt fear them forc't they durst not disobey Her mightie art and all commanding will For she with strainge characters could a lay The pains of Hell from punishment of ill Yea she the Suns diurnall course culd stay And turne to da●kest night the brightest day 44. And whill these feinds this armour fyne did make They forgd the metall first in Aetnas flame And temperd it into the Stygiane lake With herbs of woundrous force amongs't the same That mightie st●ong inchantments can with stand Yea sword and fyre and water can command 45. Ioues douchter brought king Agamemnon furth When she with them returning was to Troy Who seing them of such a woundrous woorth Bereft the graue Cassandra of her ioy Who had with herbs and flams of Flegitone Composd a strange and admirable stone 46. Which secreitlie she in this armour sett Whose vertue was his owner for to stay From loue and amorous desyr's to lett Arming the hart gainst all venereall play For princelie Paris she deuys'd this traine That he might render Helene back againe Caput VIII Argument AChaians fall fair Pallas doeth Forsie long tyme before And that Penardo should them raise Vnto their former gloir The Aene●ns tuo batales win● And by the Prince alaine The Transyluanian and the Seruian Disput both ar slaine 1. WHen as the Greciane gote this armour lo Ioues brain borne girl did gif him this command That of this thing no creatur should know Till he returnd vnto his natiue land Wheir to her name he should ane Altar rear And secreitlie inclose this armour rheir 2. The which he did with duetifull regaird According to heighe pallas her command For loe th●t sacred altar vp he raird Their vnder layd the armour which they fand Wheir it had lyine so many hundreyht yeirs Vn-found vnmark'd vnknowne as it appeirs 3. Sum sayes that b●ight warlyk pallas did forsie Eune then the ruine of Achaias croune And that fair Lissa cause theirof should be Trogh hir great bewtie of so hye renoune Thus she prouyds forseis preuents
