Arcadia
.
The
reports
of
the
Shepheards
.
AFter
that
the
wrath
of
mightie
Ioue
,
had
wrapt
Arcadia
with
noysome
pestilence
,
in
so
much
that
the
ayre
yeelding
preiudiciall
sauors
,
seemd
to
be
peremptory
in
some
fatall
resolution
.
Democles
soueraigne
and
King
of
that
famous
Continent
pitying
the
sinister
accidents
of
his
people
,
being
a
man
as
iust
in
his
censures
as
royall
in
his
possessions
,
as
carefull
for
the
weale
of
his
country
,
as
the
continuance
of
his
diadem
,
thinking
that
vnpeopled
Cities
were
Corasiues
to
Princes
consciences
,
that
the
strength
of
his
subiects
was
the
sinnews
of
his
dominious
,
and
that
euery
crowne
,
must
conteyne
a
care
,
not
onely
to
winne
honour
by
fortayne
conquests
,
but
in
〈◊〉
dignitie
with
ciuill
and
domestical
insights
:
Democles
grounding
his
arguments
vpon
these
premisses
,
coueting
to
be
counted
Pater
Patriae
,
calling
a
Parliament
together
,
whether
all
his
Nobilitie
incited
by
summons
made
their
repaire
,
elected
two
of
his
chiefe
Lordes
to
passe
vnto
Delphos
,
at
Apollos
Oracle
to
heare
the
fatall
sentence
,
either
of
their
future
miserie
or
present
remedie
.
They
hauing
their
charge
,
posting
from
Arcadia
to
the
Tripos
where
Pithia
sate
,
the
sacred
Nymph
that
deliuered
out
Apollos
Dylonimas
,
offering
as
their
manner
is
their
orizons
&
presents
,
as
wel
to
intreate
by
deuotion
,
as
to
perswade
by
〈◊〉
,
they
had
returned
from
Apollo
this
doome
.
When
Neptune
riding
on
the
Southerne
seas
shall
from
the
bosome
of
his
Lemman
yeeld
Th'
arcadian
wonder
,
men
and
Gods
to
please
:
Plentie
in
pride
shall
march
amidst
the
field
,
Dead
men
shall
warre
,
and
vnborne
babes
shall
frowne
,
And
with
their
fawchens
hew
their
foemen
downe
.
When
Lambes
haue
Lions
for
their
surest
guide
,
and
Planets
rest
vpon
th'
arcadian
hills
:
When
swelling
seas
haue
neither
ebbe
nor
tide
,
When
equall
bankes
the
Ocean
margine
fills
.
Then
looke
Arcadians
for
a
happie
time
,
And
sweete
content
within
your
troubled
Clyme
.
No
sooner
had
Pithia
deliuered
this
scroll
to
the
Lordes
of
Arcadie
,
but
they
departed
and
brought
it
to
Democles
,
who
causing
the
oracle
to
be
read
amongst
his
distressed
commons
,
found
the
Delphian
censure
more
full
of
doubts
to
amaze
,
than
fraught
with
hope
to
comfort
;
thinking
rather
that
the
angrie
God
sent
a
peremptorie
presage
of
ruine
,
than
a
probable
ambiguitie
to
applaud
any
hope
of
remedie
:
yet
loath
to
haue
his
carefull
subiects
fall
into
the
balefull
laborinth
of
despaire
,
Democles
began
to
discourse
vnto
them
,
that
the
interpreters
of
Apollos
secretes
,
were
not
the
conceipts
of
humane
reason
,
but
the
successe
of
long
expected
enents
;
that
Comets
did
portend
at
the
first
blaze
,
but
tooke
effect
in
the
dated
bosome
of
the
destinies
;
that
oracles
were
foretold
at
the
Delphian
Caue
,
but
were
shapte
out
and
finished
in
the
Counsell
house
.
With
such
perswasiue
arguments
Democles
appeased
the
distressed
thoughtes
of
his
doubtful
countrimen
,
and
commanded
by
proclamation
that
no
man
should
prit
into
the
quiddities
of
Apollos
answere
,
least
sundrie
censures
of
his
diuine
secrecie
,
shoulde
trouble
Arcadia
with
some
sodaine
mutinie
.
The
King
thus
smoothing
the
heate
of
his
cares
,
rested
a
melancholy
man
in
his
Courts
;
hiding
vnder
his
head
the
double
faced
figure
of
Ianus
,
as
well
to
cleare
〈◊〉
skies
of
other
mens
conceiptes
with
smiles
,
as
to
furnish
out
his
owne
〈◊〉
with
thoughts
.
But
as
other
beasts
leuell
their
lookes
at
the
countenance
of
the
Lion
,
and
birdes
make
wing
as
the
Eagle
flyes
:
so
Regis
ad
arbitrium
totus
componitur
orbis
:
the
people
were
measured
by
the
minde
of
the
souereigne
,
and
what
stormes
soeuer
they
smoothed
in
priuate
conceipt
,
yet
they
made
haye
,
and
cried
holiday
in
out
ward
appearance
:
insomuch
that
euerie
man
repaired
to
his
owne
home
,
and
fell
either
vnto
pleasures
or
labours
,
as
their
liuing
or
content
allowed
them
.
Whiles
thus
Arcadia
rested
in
a
silent
quiet
,
Menaphon
the
Kings
Shepheard
,
a
man
of
high
account
among
the
Swaines
of
Arcadie
,
loued
of
the
Nymphes
,
as
the
paragon
of
all
their
countrey
youngsters
,
walking
solitarie
downe
to
the
shore
,
to
sée
if
any
of
his
ewes
and
lambes
were
straggled
downe
to
the
strond
to
brouse
on
sea
iuie
,
wherfore
they
take
speciall
delight
to
féede
;
he
found
his
flockes
grazing
vpon
the
Promontorie
Mountaines
hardlie
:
whereon
resting
himselfe
on
a
hill
that
ouer-peered
the
great
Mediterraneum
,
noting
how
Phoebus
fetched
his
Laualtos
on
the
purple
Plaines
of
Neptunus
,
as
if
he
had
meant
to
haue
courted
Thetis
in
the
royaltie
of
his
roabes
:
the
Dolphines
(
the
swéete
conceipters
of
Musicke
)
fetcht
their
carréers
on
the
calmed
waues
,
as
if
Arion
had
touched
the
stringes
of
〈◊〉
siluer
sounding
instrument
:
the
Mermaides
thrusting
their
heades
from
the
bosome
of
Amphitrite
,
sate
on
the
mounting
bankes
of
Neptune
,
drying
their
waterie
tresses
in
the
Sunne
beames
.
Aeolus
forbare
to
throwe
abroad
his
gustes
on
the
slumbering
browes
of
the
Sea-God
,
as
giuing
Triton
leaue
to
pleasure
his
Queene
with
desired
melodie
,
and
Proteus
libertie
to
followe
his
flockes
without
disquiet
.
Menaphon
looking
ouer
the
champion
of
Arcadie
to
see
if
the
Continent
were
as
full
of
smiles
,
as
the
seas
were
of
fauouts
,
sawe
the
shrubbes
as
in
a
dreame
with
delightfull
harmonie
,
and
the
birdes
that
chaunted
on
their
braunches
not
disturbed
with
the
least
breath
of
a
fauourable
Zephirus
.
Seeing
thus
the
accord
of
the
Land
and
Sea
,
casting
a
fresh
gaze
on
the
water
Nimphs
,
he
began
to
consider
how
Venus
was
feigned
by
the
Poets
to
spring
of
the
froathe
of
the
Seas
;
which
draue
him
straight
into
a
deepe
coniecture
of
the
inconstancie
of
Loue
:
that
as
if
Luna
were
his
load-starre
,
had
euerie
minute
ebbes
and
tides
,
sometime
ouerflowing
the
banks
of
Fortune
with
a
gracious
look
lightened
from
the
eyes
of
a
fauorable
louer
,
otherwhiles
ebbing
to
the
dangerous
shelfe
of
despaire
,
with
the
piercing
frowne
of
a
froward
Mistresse
.
Menaphon
in
this
browne
studie
,
calling
to
minde
certaine
Aphorismes
that
Auarreon
had
penodowne
as
principles
of
loues
follies
,
being
as
déepe
an
enemie
to
fancie
,
as
Narcissus
was
to
affection
,
began
thus
to
scosfe
at
Venus
Deitie
.
Menaphon
thy
mindes
fauours
,
are
greater
than
thy
wealths
fortunes
,
thy
thoughtes
higher
than
thy
birth
,
&
thy
priuate
conceipt
better
than
thy
publique
estéeme
.
Thou
art
a
shepheard
Menaphon
,
who
in
féeding
of
thy
flockes
findest
out
natures
secrecie
,
and
in
preuenting
thy
lambes
preiudice
conceipt●…st
the
Astronomicall
motions
of
the
heauens
:
holding
thy
sheep-walkes
to
yeeld
as
great
Philosophie
,
as
the
Ancients
discourse
in
their
learned
Academies
.
Thou
countest
labour
as
the
Indians
doo
their
Chrisocolla
wherwith
they
trie
euerie
mettall
,
and
thou
examine
euerie
action
.
Content
sitteth
in
thy
minde
as
Neptune
in
his
Sea-throne
,
who
with
his
trident
mace
appeaseth
euerie
storme
.
When
thou
see●…
the
heauens

thou
thinkest
on
thy
faults
,
and
a

putteth
thee
in

of

:
the
summers

tels
thée
of
youths
vanitie
,
the
winters
parched
leaues
of
ages
declining
weaknes
.
Thus
in
a
myrrour
thou
measur●…st
thy
déedes
with
equall
and
considerate
motions
,
and
by
being
a
shepheard
findest
that
which
Kings
want
in
their
royalties
.
Enuie

Thine
eyes
are
vaylde
with
content
that
thou
canst
not
gaze
so
high
as
ambition
:
&
for
loue
,
and
with
that
in
naming
of
loue
,
the
shepheard
fell
into
a
great
laughter
.
Loue
Menaphon
,
why
of
all
follies
that
euer
Poets
fained
,
or
men
euer
faulted
with
,
this
foolish
imagination
of
loue
is
the
greatest
:
Venus
forsooth
for
her
wanton
escapes
must
be
a
Goddesse
,
&
her
bastard
a
Deitie
:
Cupide
must
be
yong
and
euer
a
boy
to
prooue
that
loue
is
fond
and
witlesse
,
wings
to
make
him
inconstant
,
and
arrowes
whereby
to
shew
him
feareful
:
blinde
(
or
all
were
not
worth
a
pinne
)
to
prooue
that
Cupides
leuell
is
both
without
aime
and
reason
:
thus
is
the
God
,
and
such
are
his
Uotaries
.
As
soone
as
our
shepheards
of
Arcadie
fettle
themselues
to
fancie
,
and
weare
the
characters
of
Venus
stampte
in
their
forheads
,
straight
their
attire
must
bee
quaint
,
their
lookes
full
of
amours
,
as
their
Gods
quiuer
is
full
of
arrowes
;
their
eyes
holding
smiles
and
teares
,
to
leape
out
at
their
Mistres
fauours
or
her
frownes
:
sighes
must
flie
as
figures
of
their
thoughts
,
and
euerie
wrinckle
must
be
tempred
with
a
passion
:
thus
suted
in
outward
proportion
,
and
made
excellent
in
inward
constitution
,
they
straight
repaire
to
take
viewe
of
their
Mistres
beautie
.
She
as
one
obseruant
vnto
Venus
principles
,
first
tieth
loue
in
her
tresses
,
and
wraps
affection
in
the
tramels
of
her
haire
;
s●…aring
our
swains
in
her
locks
as
Mars
in
the
net
,
holding
in
her
forhead
Fortunes
Calender
,
either
to
assigne
dismal
●…fluence
,
or
some
fauourable
aspect
.
If
a
wrinckle
appeare
in
her
brow
,
then
our
shepheard
must
put
on
his
working
day
face
,
&
frame
nought
but
dolefull
Madrigalls
of
sorrowe
;
if
a
dimple
grace
her
cheeke
,
the
heauens
cannot
prooue
fatal
to
our
kinde
hearted
louers
;
if
she
séeme
coy
,
then
poemes
of
death
mounted
vppon
déepe
drawne
sighes
,
flie
from
their
master
to
sue
for
some
fauour
,
alledging
how
death
at
the
least
may
date
his
miserie
:
to
be
briefe
,
as
vppon
the
shoares
of
Lapanthe
the
winds
continue
neuer
one
day
in
one
quarter
,
so
the
thoughtes
of
a
louer
neuer
continue
scarce
a
minute
in
one
passion
;
but
as
Fortunes
globe
,
so
is
fancies
seate
variable
and
inconstant
.
If
louers
sorrowes
then
be
like
Sisiphus
turmoyles
,
&
their
fauours
like
honnie
bought
with
gall
;
let
poore
Menaphon
then
liue
at
labour
,
and
make
estéeme
of
Venus
as
of
Mars
his
concubine
;
and
as
the
Cimbrians
hold
their
idols
in
account
but
in
euerie
tempest
,
so
make
Cupide
a
God
,
but
when
thou
ar●…
ouer-pained
with
passions
,
and
that
Menaphon
wil
neuer
loue
,
for
as
long
as
thou
temperest
thy
handes
with
labours
,
thou
canst
not
fetter
thy
thoughts
with
loues
.
And
in
this
Satyricall
humor
smiling
at
his
owne
conceipts
,
hee
tooke
his
pipe
in
his
hand
,
and
betwéene
euerie

of
his

sung
a

to

Menaphon
hauing
ended
his
roundelay
,
rising
vp
,
thinking
to
passe
from
the
mountaine
downe
to
the
valley
,
casting
his
eye
to
the
sea
side
,
espied
certain
fragments
of
a
broken
ship
floating
vpon
the
waues
,
and
sundrie
persons
driuen
vpon
the
shore
with
a
calme
,
walking
all
wet
and
weary
vpon
the
sands
,
wondring
at
this
strange
fight
he
stood
amazed
;
yet
desirous
to
see
the
euent
of
this
accident
,
he
shrowded
himself
to
rest
vnespied
til
he
might
perceiue
what
would
happen
:
at
last
he
might
descrie
it
was
a
woman
holding
a
childe
in
her
armes
,
and
an
olde
man
directing
her
as
it
were
her
guide
.
These
three
(
as
distressed
wrackes
)
preserued
by
some
further
forepoynting
fate
,
coueted
to
clime
the
mo●…taine
,
the
better
to
vse
the
fauor
of
the
Sunne
,
to
drie
their
drenched
ap●…araile
;
at
last
crawled
vp
where
poore
Menaphon
lay
close
,
and
resting
them
vnder
a
bush
,
the
old
man
did
nothing
but
sende
out
sighes
,
and
the
woman
ceased
not
from
streaming
foorth
riuolets
of
teares
,
that
hung
on
her
cheekes
like
the
droppes
of
pearled
deaw
vppon
the
riches
of
Flora.
The
poore
babe
was
the
touch-stone
of
his
mothers
passions
;
for
when
he
smiled
and
lay
laughing
in
hir
lappe
,
were
her
heart
neuer
so
deeply
ouercharged
with
her
present
sorrowes
;
yet
kissing
the

shee
lightened
out

from
those

that
were

olde
ther

for

Streaming
teares
that
neuer
stint
,
Like
pearle
drops
from
a
flint
Fell
by
course
from
his
eyes
,
That
one
anothers
place
supplies
:
Thus
he
grieud
in
euerie
part
,
Teares
of
bloud
fell
from
his
hart
,
When
he
left
his
pretie
boy

Weepe
not

When

The
wanton

,
father

;
Mother

,
babie

:
More
he
crowde
,
more

He

For

With
this
lullaby
the
babie
fell
a
sléepe
,
and
Sephestia
laying
it
vpon
the
greene
grasse
couered
it
with
a
mantle
,
&
then
leaning
her
head
on
her
hand
,
and
her
elbow
on
her
lap
she
fell
a
〈◊〉
to
poure
foorth
abundaunce
of
plaintes
,
which
Lamedon
the
old
man
espying
,
although
in
his
face
appeared
the
mappe
of
discontent
,
and
in
euerie
wrin●…kle
was
a
catalogue
of
woes
;
yet
to
chéere
vp
Sephestia
,
shrowding
his
inward
sorrow
with
an
outward
smile
,
he
began
to
comfort
her
in
this
manner
.
Sephestia
,
thou
seest
no
Phisick
preuailes
against
the
gaze
of
the
Basilisckes
,
no
charme
against
the
sting
of
the
Tarantula
,
no
preuention
to
diuert
the
decree
of
the
Fates
,
nor
no
meanes
to
recall
backe
the
balefull
hurt
of
Fortune
:
Incurable
sores
are
without
Auicens
Aphorismes
,
and
therefore
no
salue
for
them
but
patience
.
Then
my
Sephestia
sith
thy
fal
is
high
,
and
fortune
low
;
thy
sorrowes
great
,
and
thy
hope
little
:
seeing
me
partaker
of
thy
miseries
,
set
all
thy
rest
vppon
this
,
Solamen
miseris
,
socios
habuisse
doloris
.
Chaunce
is
like
Ianus
double
faced
,
as
well
full
of
smiles
to
comfort
,
as
of
frownes
to
dismay
:
the
Ocean
at
his
deadest
ebbe
returns
to
a
full
tide
;
when
the
Eagle
meanes
to
soare
highest
,
hee
raiseth
his
flight
in
the
lowest
dales
:
so
fareth
it
with
fortune
who
in
her
highest
extreames
is
most
vnconstant
:
when
the
tempest
of
her
wrath
is
most
fearfull
,
then
looke
for
〈◊〉
;
when
she
beates
thee
with
nettle
,
then
thinke
she
will
strewe
thee
with
roses
;
when
shee
is
most
familiar
with
furies
,
her
intent
is
to
be
most
prodigall
Sephestia
.
Thus
are
the
arrowes
of
Fortune
feathered
with
the
plumes
of
the
bird
Halcione
,
that
changeth
colours
with
the
Moone
,
which
howsoeuer
she
shootes
them
pierce
not
so
deepe
but
they
may
bee
cured
.
But
Sephestia
thou
art
daughter
to
a
King
,
exiled
by
him
from
the
hope
of
a
crowne
,
vanisht
from
the
pleasures
of
the
Court
to
the
painfull
fortunes
of
the
countrey
,
parted
for
loue
from
him
thou
caust
not
but
loue
,
from
Maximus
Sephestia
,
who
for
thee
hath
susfered
so
many
dissauours
,
as
either
discontent
or
death
can
affoord
.
What
of
all
this
,
is
not
hope
the
daughter
of
time
?
Haue
not
starres
their
fauourable
aspects
,
as
they
haue
froward
opposition
?
Is
there
not
a
Iupiter
as
there
is
a
Saturne
?
Cannot
the
influence
of
smiling
Venus
,
stretch
as
farre
as
the
frowning
constitution
of
Mars
?
I
tell
thee
Sephestia
,
Iuno
foldeth
in
her
brows
the
volumes
of
the
〈◊〉
;
whom
melancholie
Saturne
deposeth
from
a
Crowne
,
she
〈◊〉
aduanceth
to
a
Diadem
;
then
feare
not
,
for
if
the
mother
liue
in
miserie
,
yet
hath
the
●
scepter
for
the
sonne
:
let
the
vnkindnesse
of
thy
father
be
buried
in
the
cinders
of
obedience
,
and
the
want
of
Maximus
be
supplied
with
the
presence
of
his
pretie
babe
,
who
beeing
too
young
for
Fortune
,
lies
smiling
on
thy
knee
and
laughs
at
Fortune
:
learne
by
him
Sephestia
to
vse
patience
,
which
is
like
the
balme
in
the
Uale
of
Iehosaphat
,
that
findeth
no
wound
so
déepe
,
but
it
cureth
:
thou
seest
alreadie
Fortune
begins
to
change
her
view
,
for
after
the
great
storme
that
rent
our
shippe
,
we
found
a
calme
that
brought
vs
safe
to
shore
;
the
mercie
of
Neptune
was
more
than
the
enuie
of
Aeolus
,
and
the
discurtesie
of
thy
father
is
proportioned
with
the
fauour
of
the
Gods
.
Thus
Sephestia
being
copartner
of
thy
miserie
,
yet
do
I
seeke
to
allay
thy
martyrdome
:
beeing
sicke
to
my selfe
,
yet
do
I
play
the
Phisition
to
thee
,
wishing
thou
maist
beare
thy
sorrowes
with
as
much
content
,
as
I
brooke
my
misfortunes
with
patience
.
As
hee
was
readie
to
goe
forwarde
with
his
perswasiue
argument
,
Sephestia
fetching
a
déepe
sigh
,
filling
her
tender
eyes
with
teares
,
made
this
replie
.
Sweete
Lamedon
,
once
partner
of
my
royalties
,
now
partaker
of
my
wants
,
as
constant
in
his
extreame
distresse
,
as
faithfull
in
higher
fortunes
:
the
Turtle
pearketh
not
on
barren
trees
.
Doues
delight
not
in
foule
cottages
,
the
Lyon
frequents
no
putrified
haunts
,
friends
followe
not
after
pouertie
,
nor
hath
sinister
chance
anie
drugges
from
the
Phisitians
,
Nullus
ad
amissas
ibit
amicus
opes
:
and
yet
Lamedon
the
misfortune
of
Sephestia
abridgeth
not
our
olde
contracted
amitie
,
thou
temperest
her
exyle
with
thy
banishment
,
and
she
sayling
to
Styx
,
thou
ferriest
ouer
to
Phlegeton
:
then
Lamedon
,
saying
as
Andromache
sayd
to
Hector
Tu
Dominus
,
tu
vir
,
tu
mihi
frater
eris
.
Thy
aged
yeres
shal
be
the
calender
of
my
fortunes
,
and
thy
gray
haires
the
Paralells
of
mine
actions
.
If
Lamedon
perswade
Sephestia
to
content
,
Portia
shall
not
exceede
Sephestia
in
patience
;
if
he
will
her
to
keepe
a
low
sayle
,
she
will
vayle
al
her
shéete
;
if
to
forget
her
loues
,
shee
will
quench
them
with
labours
;
if
to
accuse
Venus
as
a
foe
,
I
wil
hate
Cupide
as
an
enemie
;
and
seeing
the
Destinies
haue
driuen
thee
from
a
●●owne
,
I
will
rest
satisfied
with
the
Countrey
,
placing
all
my
delights
in
honouring
thee
,
&
nursing
vp
my
pretie
wanton
.
I
will
imagine
a
small
cotage
to
a
spacious
pallaice
,
&
thinke
as
great
quiet
in
a
russet
coate
,
as
in
royall
habilliments
:
Sephestia
Lamedon
will
not
scorne
with
Iuno
to
turne
hir self
into
the
shape
of
Semeles
nurse
,
but
vnknowne
rest
carelesse
of
my
fortunes
:
the
hope
of
times
returne
shal
be
the
ende
of
my
thoughts
,
the
smiles
of
my
sonne
shall
bee
the
nourishment
of
my
hart
,
and
the
course
of
his
youth
shall
be
the
comfort
of
my
yeres
;
euerie
laughter
that
leapes
from
his
lookes
,
shall
be
the
holiday
of
my
conceiptes
,
and
euerie
teare
,
shal
furnish
out
my
greeues
,
and
his
fathers
funerals
.
I
haue
heard
them
say
Lamedon
,
that
the
lowest
shrubbes
feele
the
least
tempests
,
that
in
the
valleis
of
Affrica
is
heard
no
thunder
,
that
in
countrey
roomes
is
greatest
rest
,
and
in
little
wealth
the
least
disquiet
:
dignitie
treadeth
vpon
glasse
,
and
honour
is
like
to
the
hearbe
Synara
,
that
when
it
bloometh
most
gorgeous
,
then
it
blasteth
:
Aulica
vita
●●●●ndida
miseria
,
Courts
haue
golden
dreames
,
but
cotages
sweet
slumbres
:
then
Lamedon
will
I
disguise
my self
,
with
my
cloathes
I
will
change
my
thoughts
;
for
being
poorelie
attired
I
will
be
meanelie
minded
,
and
measure
my
actions
by
my
present
estate
,
not
by
former
fortunes
.
In
saaying
this
the
babe
awakte
and
cride
,
and
she
fell
to
teares
mixed
with
a
lullabie
.
All
this
while
Menaphon
sate
amongst
the
shrubs
fixing
his
eyes
on
the
glorious
obiect
of
her
face
,
hee
noted
her

which
hee
compared

her

to

swore

no

Lamedon

not

onelie

Sephestia
thankt
him
〈◊〉
,
and
going
into
his
house
found
what
he
promist
:
after
that
they
had
sate
a
little
by
the
fire
and
were
well
warmed
,
they
went
to
supper
,
where
Sephestia
fedde
well
,
as
one
whom
the
sea
had
made
hungrie
,
and
Lamedon
so
plide
his
〈◊〉
,
that
all
supper
he
spake
not
one
word
:
after
they
had
taken
their
repast
,
Menaphon
seeing
they
were
wearie
,
and
that
sleepe
chimed
on
to
rest
,
he
let
them
see
their
lodging
,
and
so
gaue
them
the
good
night
.
Lamedon
on
his
flocke
bedde
,
and
Sephestia
on
her
countrey
couch
were
so
wearie
,
that
they
slept
well
:
but
Menaphon
,
poore
Menaphon
neither
asked
his
swaynes
for
his
sheepe
,
nor
tooke
his
mole-spade
on
his
necke
to
see
his
pastures
;
but
as
a
man
pained
with
a
thousand
passions
,
drenched
in
distresse
,
and
ouerwhelmed
with
a
multitude
of
vncouth
cares
,
he
sate
like
the
pictures
that
Perseus
tourned
with
his
Gorgons
head
into
stones
.
His
sister
Carmela
kept
his
house
,
(
for
so
was
the
Countrey
wench
called
)
and
shee
seeing
her
brother
sit
so
malcontented
,
stept
to
her
〈◊〉
and
fetcht
a
little
beaten
spice
in
an
olde
bladder
,
she
sparde
no
euening
〈◊〉
,
but
went
amongst
the
cream
bowles
,
and
made
him
a
posset
.
But
alas
,
Loue
had
so
〈◊〉
vp
the
shepheards
stomacke
,
that
none
would
down
with
Menaphon
:
Carmela
séeing
her
brother
refuse
his
spicte
drinke
,
thought
all
was
not
well
,
and
therefore
sate
downe
and
wept
;
to
be
short
,
she
blubbered
and
he
sightht
,
and
his
men
that
c●…me
in
and
sawe
their
master
with
a
kercher
on
his
head
mournde
;
so
that
amongst
these
swaines
there
was
such
melodie
,
that
Menaphon
tooke
his
bow
and
arrowes
and
went
to
bedde
:
where
casting
himselfe
,
he
thought
to
haue
beguiled
his
passions
with
some
swéete
slumbers
.
But
Loue
that
smiled
at
his
newe
interteined
champion
,
sitting
on
his
beddes
head
,
prickt
him
forward
with
new
desires
;
charging
Morpheus
,
Phobetor
,
and
Icolon
the
Gods
of
sleepe
,
to
present
〈◊〉
his
closed
eies
the
singular
beautie
and
rare
perfections
of
Samela
:
(
for
so
will
we
now
call
her
)
in
that
the
Idea
of
her
excellence
,
forst
him
to
breath
out
scalding
sighes
smothered
within
the
fornace
of
his
thoughts
,
which
grew
into
this
or
the
like
passion
.
I
had
thought
Menaphon
,
that
he
which
weareth
the
bay
leafe
had
béen
free
from
lightening
,
and
the
Eagles
〈◊〉
a
preseruatiue
against
thunder
;
that
labour
had
been
enemie
to
loue
,
and
the
eschewing
of
idlenesse
an
Antidote
against
fancie
:
but
I
see
by
proofe
there
is
no
adamant
so
harde
,
but
the
blood
of
a
〈◊〉
will
make
soft
;
no
fort
so
wel
defenced
,
but
strong
batterie
will
enter
;
nor
〈◊〉
hart
so
pliant
to
restlesse
labours
,
but
inchantments
of
loue
will
ouercome
.
Unfortunate
Menaphon
,
that
a
late
thoughtst
Venus
a
strumpet
and
her
sonne
a
bastard
,
now
must
thou
offer
incense
at
her
shrine
,
and
sweare
Cupide
no
lesse
than
a
God
:
thou
hast
reason
Menaphon
;
for
hee
that
liues
without
loue
,
liues
without
life
;
presuming
as
Narcissus
to
hate
all
,
and
beeing
like
him
at
length
despised
of
all
.
Can
there
bee
a
sweeter
blisse
than
beautie
,
a
greater
heauen
than
her
heauenly
perfections
that
is
mistres
of
thy
thoughts
?
If
the
sparkle
of
her
eyes
appeare
in
the
night
,
the
starres
blush
at
her
brightnesse
:
if
her
haire
glister
in
the
daye
,
Phoebus
puts
off
his
wreath
of
diamonds
,
as
ouercome
with
the
shine
of
her
tresses
;
if
she
walke
in
the
〈◊〉
,
Flora
seeing
her
face
,
bids
al
her
glorious
flowers
close
themselues
,
as
being
by
her
beautie
disgraced
;
if
her
alabaster
necke
appeere
,
then
Hiems
couereth
his
snowe
,
as
surpassed
in
whitenesse
.
To
be
shorte
Menaphon
,
if
Samela
had
appeared
in
Ida
,
Iuno
for
maiestie
,
Pallas
for
wisedome
,
and
Venus
for
beautie
had
let
my
Samela
haue
the
supremacie
:
why
shouldest
thou
not
then
loue
,
and
thinke
there
is
no
life
to
loue
,
seeing
the
end
of
loue
〈◊〉
the
possefsion
of
such
a
heauenly
Paragon
?
But
what
of
this
Menaphon
,
hast
thou
anie
hope
to
enioy
her
person
,
she
is
a
widdow
,
true
,
but
too
high
for
thy
fortunes
;
she
is
in
distresse
,
ah
Menaphon
,
if
thou
hast
anie
sparke
of
comfort
,
this
must
set
thy
hope
on
fire
.
Want
is
the
load
stone
of
affection
,
distresse
forceth
deeper
than
Fortunes
frownes
,
and
such
as
are
poore
will
rather
loue
than
want
reliefe
,
fortunes
frownes
are
whetstones
to
fancie
:
and
as
the
horse
starteth
at
the
spurre
,
so
loue
is
〈◊〉
forward
with
distresse
.
Samela
is
ship
wrackt
,
Menaphon
relieues
her
;
she
wants
,
he
supplies
with
wealth
;
he
sues
for
loue
,
either
must
she
grant
,
or
buy
deniall
with
perpetuall
repentance
.
In
this
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
the
poore
shephearde
,
and
with
that
Menaphon
laide
head
downe
the
pillow
and
toke
a
sounnd
nappe
,
sleeping
out
fancie
,
with
a
good
〈◊〉
.
As
soone
as
the
sunne
appeared
the
shepheard
got
him
vp
,
and
fed
fat
with
this
hope
,
went
merely
with
his
men
to
the
foldes
,
and
there
letting
foorth
his
sh●…eepe
,
after
that
hee
had
appointed
where
they
should
graze
,
returned
home
,
and
looking
when
his
guests
should
rise
,
hauing
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
the
last
night
went
roundly
to
his
breakfast
:
by
that
time
he
〈◊〉
ended
his
desiune
,
Lamedon
was
gotten
vp
,
and
so
was
Samela
.
Against
their
rising
Carmela
had
showen
her
cookerie
,
&
Menaphon
tired
in
his
russet
iacket
,
his
redde
〈◊〉
of
chamlet
,
his
blew
bonnet
,
and
his
round
flop
of
countrey
cloth
,
bestirred
him
,
as
euerie
〈◊〉
had
been
set
to
a
sundrie
office
.
Samela
no
sooner
came
out
of
her
chamber
,
but
Menaphon
as
one
that
claimed
pitie
for
his
passions
,
bad
her
good
morrow
with
a
firme
louers
looke
:
Samela
knowing
the
fowle
by
the
feather
,
was
able
to
cast
his
disease
without
his
water
,
〈◊〉
that
Cupide
had
caught
the
poore
shepheard
in
his
net
,
and
vnles
he
sought
quickly
to
break
out
of
the
snare
would
make
him
a
tame
foole
:
faire
lookes
she
gaue
him
,
&
with
a
smiling
sorow
discouered
how
she
grieued
at
his
misfortune
,
and
yet
fauoured
him
.
Well
,
to
breakfast
they
went
Lamedon
and
Samela
fed
hard
,
but
Menaphon
like
the
Argiue
in
the
Date
gardens
of
Arabia
,
liued
with
the
contemplation
of
his
Mistres
beautie●…
the
Salamander
liueth
not
without
the
fire
,
the
Herring
from
the
water
,
the
Mole
from
the
earth
,
nor
the
Cameleon
from
the
aire
,
nor
coulde
Menaphon
liue
from
the
sight
of
his
Samela
;
whose
breath
was
perfumed
aire
,
whose
eyes
were
fire
wherein
he
delighted
to
〈◊〉
,
whose
heart
the
earthlie
Paradice
wherein
hee
desired
to
〈◊〉
the
essence
of
his
loue
and
affection
:
thus
did
the
poore
shepheard
bathe
in
a
kinde
of
blisse
,
whiles
his
eye
feeding
on
his
mistres
face
,
did
surfet
with
the
excellencie
of
her
perfection
.
So
long
he
gazde
,
that
at
length
breakfast
was
ended
,
〈◊〉
he
〈◊〉
to
〈◊〉
her
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
first
put
her
childe
to
nurse
,
and
then
led
her
forth
to
see
his
folds
;
thinking
with
the
sight
of
his
flockes
to
〈◊〉
her
,
whose
mindehad
r●…ather
haue
chosen
anie
misfortune
,
than
haue
deined
her
eyes
on
the
face
and
feature
of
so
lowe
a
peasant
.
Well
,
abroad
they
went
,
Menaphon
with
his
shéephooke
fringed
with
cruell
,
to
〈◊〉
he
was
〈◊〉
of
the
〈◊〉
,
Lamedon
and
Samela
after
:
plodding
thus
ouer
the
gréene
fields
,
at
last
they
came
to
the
mountains
where
Menaphons
flockes
grazed
,
and
there
he
〈◊〉
vnto
Samela
thus
;
I
tell
thee
faire
Nymph
,
these
Plaines
that
thou
séest
stretching
Southward
,
are
〈◊〉
belonging
to
Menaphon
:
there
growes
the
ciutfoyle
,
and
the
hyacinth
,
the
〈◊〉
,
the
primrose
,
and
the
〈◊〉
,
which
my
flockes
shall
spare
for
flowers
to
make
thee
garlands
,
the
milke
of
my
ewes
shall
be
meate
for
thy
pretie
wanton
,
the
wool
of
the
fat
weathers
that
seemes
as
fine
as
the
fleece
that
Iason
fet
from
Colchos
,
shall
serue
to
make
Samela
webbes
withall
;
the
mountaine
tops
shall
be
thy
mornings
walke
,
and
the
shadie
valleiee
thy
euenings
arbour
:
as
much
as
Menaphon
owes
shall
be
at
Samelas
command
,
if
she
like
to
liue
with
Menaphon
.
This
was
spoken
with
such
déepe
effects
,
that
Samela
could
scarce
kéepe
her
from
smiling
,
yet
she
couered
her
conceipt
with
a
sorrowful
countenance
,
which
Menaphon
espying
,
to
make
her
merrie
,
and
rather
for
his
own
aduantage
,
seeing
Lamedon
was
a
sléepe
,
tooke
her
by
the
hand
and
sate
downe
,
and
pulling
foorth
his
pipe
,
began
after
some
melodie
to
carroll
out
this
roundelay
.
Menaphons
roundelay
.
When
tender
ewes
brought
●…ome
with
e●…ening
Sunne
Wend
to
their
foldes
,
And
to
their
〈◊〉
The
shepheards
trugde
when

of

is
done
.
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
The
Eagle
Ioues
faire
bird
did
pearch
,
There
resteth
hee
.
A
little
flie
his
harbor
then
did
search
,
And
did
presume
(
though
others
laught
thereat
)
To
pearch
where
as
the
princelie
Eagle
sat
.
The
Eagle
〈◊〉
,
and
shooke
her
royall
wings
,
And
chargde
the
Flie
From
thence
to
hie
:
Afraid
in
hast
the
little
creature
flings
,
Yet
seekes
againe
Fearfull
to
pearke
him
by
the
Eagles
side
.
With
moodie
vaine
The
speedie
post
of
Ganimede
replide
;
Vassaile
auant
or
with
my
wings
you
die
,
1st
fit
an
Eagle
seate
him
with
a
Flie
?
The
Flie
〈◊〉
pitie
,
still
the
Eagle
〈◊〉
,
The
sillie
Flie
Readie
to
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
displacte
,
fell
groueling
to
the
ground
.
The
Eagle
sawe
And
with
a
royall
minde
said
to
the
Flie
,
Be
not
in
awe
,
I
scorne
by
me
the
meanest
creature
die
;
Then
seate
thee
heere
:
the
ioyfull
Flie
vp
flings
,
And
sate
safe
shadowed
with
the
Eagles
wings
.
As
soone
as
Menaphon
had
ended
this
roundelay
,
turning
to
Samela
,
after
a
countrey
blush
,
he
began
to
court
her
in
this
homely
fashion
;
What
thinke
you
Samela
of
the
Eagle
for
this
royall
d●…eede
?
That
he
falsified
the
olde
Prouerbe
Aquila
non
capit
muscas
.
But
I
meane
Samela
are
you
not
in
opinion
,
that
the
Eagle
giues
instance
of
a
princelie
resolution
,
in
preferring
the
safetie
of
a
Flie
before
the
credit
of
her
royall
Maiestie
?
I
thinke
Menaphon
that
high
minds
;
are
the
shelters
of
〈◊〉
,
and
Kings
seates
are
couerts
for
distressed
persons
;
that
the
Eagle
in
shrowding
the
Flie
did
well
,
but
a
little
forgot
her
honour
.
But
how
thinke
you
Samela
,
is
not
this
proportion
to
be
obserued
in
loue
:
I
gesse
no
,
for
the
Flie
did
it
not
for
loue
,
but
for
succour
.
Hath
loue
then
respect
of
circumstance
:
Els
it
is
not
loue
,
but
lust
;
for
where
the
parties
haue
no
simpathie
of
Estates
,
there
can
no
firme
loue
be
〈◊〉
;
discord
is
reputed
the
mother
of
diuision
,
and
in
nature
this
is
an
vuresuted
principle
,
that
it
falteth
which
faileth
in
vniformitie
.
He
that
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
flowers
vpon
the
Nettle
marreth
the
smell
;
who
〈◊〉
to
tie
the
Lambe
and
the
Lion
in
one
tedder
maketh
a
brawle
;
equall
fortunes
are
loues
fauourites
,
and
therefore
shoulde
fancie
bee
alwayes
limitted
by
Geometricall
proportion
;
least
if
young
matching
with
olde
,
〈◊〉
and
frost
fall
at
a
combate
:
and
if
rich
with
poore
there
happe
manie
daungerous
and
brauing
obiections
.
Menaphon
〈◊〉
nipte
in
the
pate
with
this
〈◊〉
,
yet
like
a
tall
souldier
stoode
to
his
tackling
,
and
made
this
aunswere
;
Suppose
gentle
Samela
,
that
a
man
of
meane
estate
,
whome
disdainefull
Fortune
had
〈◊〉
,
〈◊〉
to
make
hir
power
prodigall
in
his
misfortunes
,
being
feathered
with
Cupides
bolt
,
were
snared
in
the
beautie
of
a
Quéene
,
should
he
rather
die
than
discouer
his
amors
?
If
Queens
(
quoth
she
)
were
of
my
mind
,
I
had
rather
die
,
than
perish
in
baser
fortunes
.
Venus
loued
Vulcan
replied
Menaphon
:
truth
quoth
Samela
,
but
though
he
was
polt-footed
,
yet
he
was
a
God
.
Phaon
enioyed
Sapho
he
a
Ferriman
that
liued
by
his
hands
thrift
,
she
a
Princesse
that
〈◊〉
inuested
with
a
diadem
.
The
more
fortunate
quoth
Samela
was
he
in
his
honours
,
and
she
the
lesse
famous
in
her
honestie
.
To
leaue
these
instances
replied
Menaphon
,
(
for
loue
had
made
him
hardie
)
I
swéete
Samela
inferre
these
presupposed
premisses
,
to
discouer
the
basenesse
of
my
mean
birth
,
and
yet
the
deepnesse
of
my
affection
,
who
euer
since
I
saw
the
〈◊〉
of
your
perfection
shining
vpon
the
mountains
of
Arcadie
,
like
the
glister
of
the
Sunne
vpon
the
toplesse
Promontorie
of
Sicilia
,
was
so
snared
with
your
beautie
,
and
so
〈◊〉
with
the
excellence
of
that
perfection
that
exceedeth
all
excellencie
,
that
loue
entring
my
desire
,
hath
mainteined
himselfe
by
force
;
that
unlesse
sweete
Samela
grant
me
fauour
of
her
loue
,
and
play
the
princelie
Eagle
,
I
shall
〈◊〉
the
poore
Flie
perish
in
my
Fortunes
:
he
concluded
this
period
with
a
deepe
sigh
,
and
Samela
grieuing
at
this
follie
of
the
Shephearde
,
gaue
him
mildelie
this
aunswere
.
Menaphon
my
distressed
haps
are
the
resolutions
of
the
Destinies
,
and
the
wrongs
of
my
youth
,
are
the
forerunners
of
my
woes
in
age
;
my
natiue
home
is
my
worst
nurserie
,
&
my
friends
d●…nie
that
which
strangers
preiudiciallie
grant
:
I
arriued
in
Arcady
shipwrackt
,
and
Menaphon
fauouring
my
sorrowes
hath
affoorded
me
succours
,
for
which
Samela
rests
bound
,
and
will
prooue
thankfull
:
as
for
〈◊〉
,
knowe
that
Venus
standeth
〈◊〉
the
Tortoys
,
as
〈◊〉
that
Loue
creepeth
on
by
〈◊〉
;
that
〈◊〉
is
like
the
Snayle
,
which
stealeth
to
the
top
of
the
lance
by
minutes
:
the
〈◊〉
hath
his
increase
,
yet
neuer
anie
sees
it
augment
,
the
Sonne
〈◊〉
,
〈◊〉
the
〈◊〉
is
not
〈◊〉
●…
〈◊〉
like
those
should
enter
into
the
eye
,
and
by
long
gradations
passe
into
the
heart
;
Cupid
hath
wings
to
flie
,
not
that
loue
should
be
swift
,
but
that
he
may
soare
high
to
auoyd
base
thoughts
.
The
Topace
being
throwne
into
the
fire
burneth
straight
,
but
no
sooner
out
of
the
flame
but
it
freezeth
;
strawe
is
soone
kindled
,
but
it
is
but
a
blaze
;
and
loue
that
is
caught
in
a
moment
,
is
lost
in
a
minute
:
giue
me
leaue
then
Menaphon
first
to
sorrow
for
my
fortunes
,
then
to
call
to
minde
my
husbands
late
funeralls
,
then
if
the
Fates
haue
assigned
I
shall
fancie
,
I
will
account
of
thee
before
anie
shepheard
in
Arcadie
.
This
conclusion
of
Samela
draue
Menaphon
into
such
an
extasie
for
ioy
,
that
he
stood
as
a
man
metamorphozed
;
at
last
calling
his
senses
together
,
hee
tolde
her
he
rested
satisfied
with
her
answere
,
and
therupon
lent
her
a
kisse
,
such
as
blushing
Thetis
receaues
from
her
choycest
lemman
.
At
this
Lamedon
awakte
,
otherwise
Menaphon
no
doubt
had
replied
,
but
breaking
off
their
talk
they
went
to
view
their
pastures
,
and
so
passing
downe
to
the
place
where
the
sheepe
grazed
,
they
searched
the
shepheards
bagges
,
and
so
emptied
their
bottles
as
Samela
meruailed
at
such
an
〈◊〉
banquet
:
at
last
they
returned
home
,
Menaphon
glorying
in
the
hope
of
his
successe
,
interteining
Samela
still
with
such
courtesie
,
that
shee
finding
such
content
in
the
cotage
,
began
to
despise
the
honors
of
the
Court.
Resting
thus
in
house
with
the
shepheard
,
to
auoide
tedious
conceipts
she
framed
her selfe
so
to
countrey
labours
,
that
she
oft
times
would
lead
the
flocks
to
the
〈◊〉
her selfe
,
and
being
drest
in
homelie
attire
,
she
seemd
like
Ocnone
that
was
amorous
of
Paris
.
As
she
thus
often
traced
alongst
the
Plaines
,
she
was
noted
amongst
the
shepheardes
of
one
Doron
next
neighbour
to
Menaphon
,
who
entered
into
the
consideration
of
her
beautie
,
and
made
report
of
it
to
all
his
fellow
swaines
,
so
that
they
chatted
nought
in
the
〈◊〉
but
of
the
new
shepheardesse
.
One
daye
amongst
the
rest
,
it
chaunced
that
Doron
sitting
in
parley
with
another
countrey
companion
of
his
,
amidst
other
tattle
,
they
prattled
of
the
beautie
of
Samela
.
〈◊〉
thou
seene
her
quoth
Melicertus
,
(
for
so
was
his
friend
called
)
I
quoth
Doron
and
sight
to
see
her
,
not
that
I
was
in
loue
,
but
that
I
〈◊〉
shee
shuld
be
in
loue
with
such
a
one
as
Menaphon
.
What
〈◊〉
of
woman
is
shee
quoth
Melicertus
?
As
well
as
I
can
answered
Doron
I
will
make
description
of
her
.
Dorons
description
of
Samela
.
Like
to
Diana
in
her
Summer
weed●…
Girt
with
a
crimson
〈◊〉
of
brightest
die
,
goes
faire
Samela
.
Whiter
than
be
the
flockes
that
straggling
〈◊〉
,
When
washt
by
Arethusa
faint
they
lie
:
is
faire
Samela
.
As
faire
Aurora
in
her
morning
gray
Deckt
with
the
ruddie
glister
of
her
loue
,
is
faire
Samela
.
Like
louelie
Thetis
on
a
calmed
day
,
When
as
her
brightnesse
Neptunes
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
shines
faire
Samela
.
Her
tresses
gold
,
her
eyes
like
glassie
streames
,
Her
teeth
are
pearle
,
the
breasts
are
〈◊〉
of
faire
Samela
.
Her
cheekes
like
rose
and
lilly
yeeld
foorth
gleames
,
Her
browes
bright
arches
framde
of
ebonie
:
Thus
faire
Samela
.
Passeth
faire
Venus
in
her
〈◊〉
hiew
,
And
Iuno
in
the
shew
of
maiestie
,
for
she
'is
Samela
.
Pallas
in
wit
,
all
three
if
you
well
view
,
For
beautie
,
wit
,
and
matchlesse
dignitie
yeeld
〈◊〉
Samela
.
Thou
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
Melicertus
made
such
a
description
,
as
if
Priamus
young
boy
should
paint
out
the
perfection
of
his
Gréekish
Paramour
.
Me
thinkes
the
Idea
of
her
〈◊〉
represents
it selfe
an
obiect
to
my
fantasie
,
and
that
I
see
in
the
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
excellence
,
the
rare
beauties
of
:
and
with
that
he
broke
off
abruptlie
with
such
a
déepe
sigh
,
as
it
séemed
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
should
haue
broken
;
sitting
as
the
Lapithes
when
they
gazed
on
Medusa
.
Doron
meruailing
at
this
〈◊〉
euent
,
was
halfe
afraid
,
as
if
some
appoplexie
had
astonied
his
senses
,
so
that
cheering
vp
his
friend
,
he
demanded
what
the
cause
was
of
this
sodaine
conceipt
.
Melicertus
no
niggarde
in
discouerie
of
his
fortunes
,
began
thus
.
I
tell
thee
Doron
before
I
kept
sheepe
in
Arcadie
,
I
was
a
〈◊〉
else
where
,
so
famous
for
my
flockes
,
as
Menaphon
for
his
foldes
;
beloued
of
the
Nymphes
,
as
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
of
the
Countrey
Damzells
;
coueting
in
my
loues
to
vse
Cupids
wings
,
to
soare
high
in
my
desires
,
though
my selfe
were
borne
to
base
fortunes
.
The
Hobbie
catcheth
no
pray
,
vnlesse
she
mount
beyonde
her
marke
,
the
Palme
tree
beareth
most
bowes
where
it
groweth
highest
,
&
〈◊〉
most
fortunate
where
his
courage
is
resolute
,
and
thought
beyond
his
compasse
.
Grounding
therefore
onthese
principles
,
I
〈◊〉
mine
eye
on
a
Nymph
,
whose
parentage
was
great
,
but
her
beautie
farre
more
excellent
,
her
birth
was
by
manie
degrees
greater
than
mine
,
and
my
woorth
by
manie
discents
lesse
than
hers
:
yet
knowing
Venus
loued
Adonis
,
and
Luna
Endymion
,
that
Cupide
had
boltes
feathered
with
the
plumes
of
a
Crowe
,
as
well
as
with
the
pennes
of
an
Eagle
,
I
attempted
and
courted
her
,
I
found
her
lookes
lightening
disdaine
,
and
her
forhead
to
〈◊〉
fauours
for
others
,
and
frownes
for
me
:
when
I
alledged
faith
,
she
〈◊〉
me
with
Aeneas
,
when
loyaltie
,
she
tolde
me
of
Iason
;
when
I
swore
constancie
,
shee
questioned
me
of
Demophoon
;
when
I
craued
a
finall
resolution
to
my
fatall
passions
,
shee
〈◊〉
her
browes
full
of
wrinckles
,
and
her
eyes
full
of
furie
,
turned
her
backe
,
and
shooke
me
off
with
a
Non
placet
.
Thus
in
loues
I
lost
loues
,
and
for
her
loue
had
lost
all
,
had
not
when
I
neere
despaired
the
clemencie
of
some
〈◊〉
starre
,
or
rather
the
verie
excellence
of
my
Mistres
〈◊〉
salued
my
halfe
despairing
maladie
:
for
shee
seeing
that
I
helde
a
supersticious
opinion
of
loue
,
in
honouring
him
for
a
Deitie
,
not
in
counting
him
a
vaine
conceipt
of
Poctrie
,
that
I
thought
it
sa●…riledge
to
wrong
my
desires
,
and
the
basest
fortune
to
inhance
my
fortune
by
falsing
my
loues
to
a
woman
,
she
left
from
being
so
rammage
,
and
gentlie
came
to
the
fist
,
and
granted
me
those
fauours
shee
might
affoord
,
or
my
thoughts
desire
:
with
this
he
ceast
and
fell
againe
to
his
sighes
,
which
Doron
noting
,
answered
thus
.
If
(
my
good
Melicertus
)
thou
〈◊〉
enioy
th●…y
loues
,
what
is
the
occasion
thou
beginnest
with
sighes
,
and
endest
with
passions
.
〈◊〉
Doron
there
endes
my
ioyes
,
for
no
sooner
had
I
triumpht
in
my
fauours
,
but
the
trophees
of
my
fortunes
fell
like
the
hearbes
in
Syria
,
that
flourish
in
the
morne
,
and
fade
before
night
;
or
like
vnto
the
flie
Tyryma
,
that
taketh
life
and
leaueth
it
all
in
one
day
.
So
my
Doron
did
it
fare
with
me
,
for
I
had
no
sooner
enioyed
my
loue
,
but
the
heauens
enuious
a
shepheard
should
haue
the
fruition
of
such
a
heauenly
Paragon
,
sent
vnteuocable
Fates
to
depriue
me
of
her
life
,
&
shee
is
dead
:
dead
Doron
,
to
her
,
to
my selfe
,
to
all
,
but
not
to
my
memorie
,
for
so
deepe
were
the
〈◊〉
stamped
in
my
inwarde
senses
,
that
obliuion
can
neuer
race
out
the
forme
of
her
excellence
.
And
with
that
he
start
vp
,
seeking
to
fall
out
of
those
dumpes
with
Musique
,
(
for
he
plaid
on
his
pipe
certaine
sonets
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
contriued
in
praise
of
the
countrey
wenches
)
but
plaine
Doron
as
plaine
as
a
packstaffe
,
desired
him
to
sound
a
roundelay
,
and
he
would
sing
a
song
,
which
he
〈◊〉
to
this
effect
.
Dorons
Iigge
.
Through
the
shrubb●…
as
I
can
cracke
,
For
my
Lambes
little
ones
,
Mongst
many
pretie
ones
,
Nimphes
I
meane
,
whose
haire
was
blacke
As
the
〈◊〉
:
Like
the
snow
Her
fac●…
and
〈◊〉
shinde
I
weene
:
I
saw
a
little
one
,
A
bonny
pr●…ty
one
,
As
bright
,
buxsome
and
as
sheene
As
was
shee
,
On
hir
knee
That
lulld
the
God
,
whose
arrowes
warmes
Such
merry
little
ones
,
Such
faire
fac'd
prety
ones
,
As
dally
in
Loues
chiefest
harmes
,
Such
was
〈◊〉
:
Whose
gray
〈◊〉
Made
me
loue
.
I
gan
to
〈◊〉
This
sweete
little
one
,
This
bonny
pretie
one
.
I
〈◊〉
hard
a
day
or
two
,
Till
she
bad
;
Be
not
sad
,
Wooe
no
more
I
am
thine
owne
,
Thy
dearest
little
one
,
Thy
truest
pretie
one
:
Thus
was
faith
and
firme
loue
showne
,
As
behoues
Shepheards
〈◊〉
.
〈◊〉
like
you
this
Dittie
of
mine
owne
〈◊〉
,
quoth
Doron
?
As
well
as
my
musique
replied
Melicertus
;
for
if
Pan
and
I
striue
,
Midas
being
Iudge
,
and
should
happe
to
giue
me
the
garland
,
I
doubt
not
but
his
Asses
eares
should
be
doubled
:
but
Doron
so
long
we
dispute
of
loue
,
and
forget
our
labours
,
that
both
our
flockes
shall
be
vnfolded
,
and
tomorrow
our
merrie
meeting
hindered
.
That
s
true
quoth
Doron
,
for
there
will
be
all
the
shepheards
Daughters
and
countrey
Damzels
,
and
amongst
them
feare
not
but
Menaphon
will
bring
his
faire
Shepheardesse
,
there
Melicertus
shalt
thou
see
her
that
will
amate
all
our
moodes
,
and
amaze
thee
,
and
therefore
good
Melicertus
let
vs
be
going
.
With
this
prattle
away
they
went
to
their
foldes
,
where
we
leaue
them
,
&
returne
to
Menaphon
,
who
trium
phing
in
the
hope
of
his
new
loues
,
caused
Samela
to
tricke
her
vp
in
her
countrey
attire
,
and
make
her selfe
braue
against
the
meeting
:
she
that
thought
,
to
be
coye
were
to
discouer
her
thoughts
,
drest
her selfe
vp
in
Carmelas
russet
cassocke
,
and
that
so
quaintly
,
as
if
Venus
in
a
countrey
peticoate
had
thought
to
wanton
it
with
her
louely
Adonis
.
The
morow
came
,
and
away
they
went
,
but
Lamedon
was
left
behinde
to
keep
the
house
.
At
the
houre
appointed
,
Menaphon
,
Carmela
and
Samela
came
,
when
all
the
rest
were
readic
making
merie
.
As
soone
as
word
was
brought
,
that
Menaphon
came
with
his
newe
Mistres
,
all
the
companie
began
to
murmur
,
and
euery
man
to
prepare
his
eye
for
so
miraculous
an
〈◊〉
:
but
Pesana
a
heardsmans
daughter
of
the
same
parish
,
that
long
had
loued
Menaphon
,
and
he
had
filled
her
browes
with
frownes
,
her
eyes
with
furie
,
and
her
heart
with
griefe
;
yet
coueting
in
so
open
an
assemblic
,
as
well
as
shee
coulde
to
hide
a
pad
in
the
straw
,
she
expected
as
others
did
the
arriwall
of
her
newe
corriuall
:
who
at
that
instant
came
with
Menaphon
into
the
house
.
No
sooner
was
she
entred
the
Parlour
,
but
her
eyes
gaue
such
a
shine
,
&
her
face
such
a
brightnesse
,
that
they
stood
gazing
on
this
Goddesse
;
and
shee
vnacquainted
,
seeing
〈◊〉
selfe
among
so
manie
vnknowen
swaines
,
died
her
cheekes
with
such
a
vermilion
blush
,
that
the
countrey
maides
themselues
fel
in
loue
with
this
〈◊〉
Nimph
,
and
could
not
blame
Menaphon
for
being
ouer
the
shooes
with
such
a
beautifull
creature
.
Doron
iogde
Melicertus
on
the
elbowe
,
and
so
awakte
him
out
of
a
dreame
,
for
he
was
deeply
drownd
in
the
contemplation
of
her
excellencie
;
sending
out
〈◊〉
of
sighs
in
remembrance
of
his
old
loue
,
as
thus
hee
sate
meditating
cn
her
fauour
,
how
much
she
resembled
her
that
death
had
depriued
him
off
:
well
her
welcome
was
great
of
all
the
companie
,
&
for
that
she
was
a
stranger
they
graced
her
to
make
her
the
〈◊〉
of
the
Feast
.
Menaphon
seeing
Samela
thus
honoured
,
conceiued
no
smal
content
in
the
aduancing
of
his
Mistres
,
being
passing
ioconde
and
pleasant
with
the
rest
of
the
companie
,
insomuch
that
euerie
one
perceiued
howe
the
poore
swayne
fedde
vppon
the
dignities
of
his
Mistres
grates
.
Pesana
noting
this
began
to
lowre
,
and
Carmela
winking
vpon
her
fellowes
,
answered
her
frownes
with
a
smile
,
which
doubled
her
griefe
;
for
womens
paines
are
more
pinthing
if
they
be
girded
with
a
frumpe
,
than
if
they
be
galled
with
a
mischiefe
.
Whiles
thus
there
was
banding
of
such
lookes
,
as
euerie
one
imported
as
much
as
an
impreso
,
Samela
willing
to
see
the
fashion
of
these
countrey
yong
frowes
,
cast
her
eyes
abroad
,
and
in
viewing
euerie
face
,
at
last
her
eyes
glaunced
on
the
lookes
of
Melicertus
;
whose
countenance
resembled
so
vnto
her
dead
Lord
,
that
as
a
woman
astonied
she
stood
staring
on
his
face
,
but
ashamed
to
gaze
vppon
a
stranger
,
she
made
restraint
of
her
looks
,
and
so
taking
her
eye
from
one
particular
obiect
,
she
sent
it
abroad
to
make
generall
suruey
of
their
countrey
demeanours
.
But
〈◊〉
all
this
gazing
,
he
that
had
seene
poore
Menaphon
,
how
infected
with
a
iealous
furie
,
he
stared
each
man
in
the
face
,
fearing
their
eyes
should
feede
or
surfet
on
his
Mistres
beautie
:
if
they
glaunst
,
he
thought
straight
they
would
be
riualls
in
his
loues
;
if
they
flatlie
lookt
,
then
they
were
déepely
〈◊〉
in
affection
;
if
they
once
smiled
on
her
,
they
had
receyued
some
glance
from
Samela
that
made
them
so
malepart
;
if
she
laught
,
she
likte
;
and
at
that
he
began
to
frowne
:
thus
sate
poore
Menaphon
all
dinner
while
pained
with
a
thousande
〈◊〉
passions
,
keeping
his
téeth
garders
of
his
stomacke
,
and
his
eyes
watchmen
of
his
loues
,
but
Melicertus
halfe
impatient
of
his
new
conceiued
thoughts
,
determined
to
trie
how
the
Damzell
was
brought
vp
,
and
whether
she
was
as
wise
as
beautifull
,
hee
therefore
began
to
breake
〈◊〉
thus
.
The
Orgies
which
the
Bacchanals
kept
in
Thessaly
,
the
Feasts
which
the
melancholy
Saturnists
〈◊〉
in
Danuby
,
were
neuer
so
quatted
with
〈◊〉
,
but
on
their
festiual
daies
they
〈◊〉
frolicke
amongst
themselues
with
manie
pleasaunt
parlies
:
were
it
no
a
shame
then
that
we
of
Arcadie
,
famous
for
the
beautie
of
our
Nymphes
,
&
the
amorous
〈◊〉
of
our
〈◊〉
,
shoulde
disgrace
Pans
holiday
with
such
melancholy
dumpes
:
curteous
countrey
Swaines
shake
off
this
sobrietie
,
and
séeing
we
haue
in
our
companie
Damzels
both
beautifull
and
wise
,
let
vs
interteine
them
with
prattle
,
to
trie
our
wittes
,
and
tire
our
time
;
to
this
they
all
agreed
with
a
plandite
.
Then
quoth
Melicertus
;
by
your
leaue
since
I
was
first
in
motion
,
I
will
be
first
in
question
,
&
therefore
new
come
shepheardesse
first
to
you
:
at
this
Samela
blusht
,
and
he
began
thus
.
Faire
Damzel
,
when
Naereus
chatted
with
Iuno
,
he
had
pardon
,
in
that
his
prattle
came
more
to
plesure
the
Goddesse
than
to
ratifie
his
owne
presumption
:
if
I
Mistres
be
ouer-hold
,
forgiue
me
;
I
question
not
to
offend
,
but
to
set
time
frée
from
tediousnesse
.
Then
gentle
shepheardesse
tell
me
,
if
you
should
bee
transformed
through
the
anger
of
the
Gods
,
into
some
shape
;
what
creature
would
you
reason
to
be
in
forme
?
Samela
blushing
that
she
was
the
first
that
was
〈◊〉
,
yet
●…gathered
vp
her
crums
,
and
desirous
to
shew
her
pregnaunt
wit
,
(
as
the
wisest
women
be
euer
tickled
with
self
loue
)
made
him
this
answere
.
Gentle
shepheard
,
it
fits
not
strangers
to
be
nice
,
nor
maidens
too
coy
;
least
the
one
feele
the
weight
of
a
scoffe
,
the
other
the
fall
of
a
frumpe
:
pithie
questions
are
mindes
whetstones
,
and
by
discoursing
in
iest
,
manie
doubts
are
deciphered
in
earnest
:
therefore
you
haue
forestalled
me
in
crouing
pardon
,
when
you
haue
no
néede
to
feele
anie
grant
of
pardon
.
Therefore
thus
to
your
question
;
Daphne
I
remember
was
turned
to
a
bay
tree
,
Niobe
to
a
flint
,
Lampetia
&
her
sisters
to
flowers
,
and
sundrie
Uirgins
to
sundrie
shapes
according
to
their
merites
;
but
if
my
wish
might
serue
for
a
〈◊〉
,
I
would
be
turned
into
a
sheepe
.
A
sheepe
,
and
why
so
Mistres
?
I
reason
thus
quoth
Samela
,
my
supposition
should
be
simple
,
my
life
quiet
,
my
food
the
pleasant
Plaines
of
Arcadie
and
the
wealthie
riches
of
Flora
,
my
drinke
the
coole
streames
that
flowe
from
the
concaue
〈◊〉
of
this
Continent
,
my
aire
should
bee
cleere
,
my
walkes
spacious
,
my
thoughts
at
ease
,
and
can
there
none
shepheard
be
my
better
premisses
to
conclude
my
replie
than
these
?
But
haue
you
no
other
allegations
to
confirme
your
resolution
:
Yes
sir
quoth
she
,
and
farre
greater
.
Then
the
law
of
our
first
motion
quoth
hee
commands
you
to
repeate
them
.
Farre
be
it
answered
Samela
that
I
should
not
doo
of
free
will
anie
thing
that
this
pleasant
companie
commands
:
therefore
thus
;
Were
I
a
shecpe
,
I
should
bee
garded
from
the
foldes
with
iollie
Swaines
,
such
as
was
Lunas
Loue
on
the
hills
of
Latmos
;
their
pipes
sounding
like
the
melodie
of
Mercurie
,
when
he
lulld
asleepe
Argus
:
but
more
,
when
the
Damzells
tracing
along
the
Plaines
,
should
with
their
eyes
like
Sunne
bright
beames
,
drawe
on
lookes
to
gaze
on
such
sparkling
Planets
:
then
wearie
with
foode
,
shoulde
I
lye
and
looke
on
their
beauties
,
as
on
the
spotted
wealthe
of
the
richest
Firmament
;
I
should
listen
to
their
sweete
layes
,
more
sweete
than
the
Sea-borne
Syrens
:
thus
feeding
on
the
delicacie
of
their
features
,
I
should
like
the
Tyrian
heyfer
fall
in
loue
with
Agenors
darling
.
I
but
quoth
Melicertus
,
those
faire
facde
Damzells
oft
draw
foorth
the
kindest
sheepe
to
the
shambles
.
And
what
of
that
sir
aunswered
Samela
,
would
not
a
sheepe
so
long
〈◊〉
with
beautie
,
die
for
loue
.
If
he
die
(
quoth
Pesana
)
it
is
more
kindnes
in
beasts
,
than
constancie
in
men
:
for
they
die
for
loue
,
when
larkes
die
with
leekes
.
If
they
be
so
wise
quoth
Menaphon
,
they
shew
but
their
mother
witts
;
for
what
sparkes
they
haue
of
inconstancie
,
they
drawe
from
their
female
fosterers
,
as
the
Sea
dooth
ebbes
and
tides
from
the
Moone
.
So
be
it
sir
answered
Pesana
,
then
no
doubt
your
mother
was
made
of
a
〈◊〉
cocke
,
that
brought
foorth
such
a
wauering
companion
:
for
you
master
Menaphon
measure
your
looks
by
minutes
and
your
loues
are
like
lightning
,
which
no
sooner
flash
on
the
〈◊〉
,
but
they
vanish
.
It
is
then
quoth
Menaphon
because
mine
eye
is
a
foolish
Iudge
,
and
chooseth
too
baselie
:
which
when
my
heart
censures
of
,
it
〈◊〉
away
as
refuse
.
T
were
best
then
said
Pesana
,
to
discharge
such
vniust
Iudges
of
ther
seates
,
and
to
set
your
eares
〈◊〉
of
your
loue
pleas
.
I●…
they
fault
quoth
Melicertus
,
euerie
market
towne
hath
aremedie
,
or
els
there
is
neuer
a
Baker
néere
by
seauen
miles
.
Stay
curteous
Shepheards
quoth
Samela
,
these
iestes
are
too
broade
before
,
they
are
cynicall
like
Diogenes
quippes
,
that
had
large
feathers
and
sharpe
heads
,
it
little
fits
in
this
companie
to
bandie
taunts
of
loue
,
seeing
you
are
vnwedded
and
these
all
maidens
addicted
to
〈◊〉
.
You
speake
well
as
a
Patronesse
of
our
credite
quoth
Pesana
,
for
in
〈◊〉
we
be
〈◊〉
,
&
addicted
to
virginitie
.
Now
quoth
Menaphon
that
you
haue
got
a
virgin
in
your
mouth
you
wil
neuer
leaue
chaunting
that
word
,
till
you
prooue
your selfe
either
a
Uestall
or
a
Sybill
.
Suppose
she
were
a
Uestall
quoth
Melicertus
,
I
had
almost
said
a
virgine
(
but
God
forbidde
I
had
made
such
a
doubtfull
supposition
)
shee
might
carrie
water
with
Amulia
in
a
siue
:
for
amongst
all
the
rest
of
the
virgins
we
read
of
none
but
her
that
wrought
such
a
miracle
.
Pesana
hearing
how
pleasantly
Melicertus
plaid
with
her
nose
,
thought
to
giue
him
as
great
a
bone
to
gnaw
vppon
,
which
she
cast
in
his
teeth
thus
〈◊〉
.
I
remember
sir
that
Epicurus
measured
euerie
mans
diet
by
his
owne
principles
;
Abradas
the
great
Macedonian
Pirate
,
thought
euerie
one
had
a
letter
of
Marte
,
that
bare
〈◊〉
in
the
Ocean
;
none
came
to
knocke
at
Diogenes
tub
but
was
supposed
a
Cinick
;
and
fancie
a
late
hath
so
tied
you
to
his
vanities
,
that
you
will
thinke
Vesta
a
flat
figured
conceipt
of
Poetrie
.
Samela
perceiuing
these
blowes
woulde
growe
to
déepe
wounds
,
broke
off
their
talke
with
this
prety
digression
.
Gentlemen
,
to
end
this
strife
,
I
praye
you
let
vs
heare
the
opinion
of
Doron
,
for
all
this
while
neither
he
〈◊〉
Carmela
haue
vttered
one
word
,
but
sate
as
Censers
of
our
pleas
;
t
were
necessarie
he
tolde
vs
how
his
heart
came
thus
on
his
halfepenie
.
Doron
hearing
Samela
thus
pleasaunt
,
made
presentlie
this
blunt
replie
;
I
was
faire
Mistres
in
a
solempne
doubt
with
my selfe
,
whether
in
beeing
a
sheepe
,
you
would
be
a
Ram
or
an
Ewe
:
An
Ewe
no
doubt
quoth
Samela
,
for
hornes
are
the
heauiest
burden
that
the
head
can
beare
.
As
Doron
was
readie
to
replie
,
came
in
sodainly
〈◊〉
this
parley
foure
or
fiue
olde
shepheards
,
who
broke
off
their
prattle
,
that
from
that
they
fel
to
drinking
:
and
so
after
some
parley
of
their
flocks
,
euerie
one
departed
to
their
own
home
where
they
talked
of
the
exquisite
perfection
of
Samela
,
especially
Melicertus
,
who
gotten
to
his
owne
cotage
,
and
lyen
downe
in
his
couch
by
himselfe
,
began
to
ruminate
on
Samelas
shape
.
Ah
Melicertus
,
what
an
obiect
fortune
this
day
brought
to
thy
eyes
,
presenting
a
strange
Idaea
to
thy
sight
,
as
appeared
to
Achilles
of
his
dead
friend
Patroclus
,
tresses
of
gold
like
the
tramels
of
Sephestias
lockes
,
a
face
fairer
than
Venus
,
such
was
Sephestia
;
her
eye
paints
her
out
Sephestia
,
her
voyce
sounds
her
out
Sephestia
,
she
séemeth
none
but
Sephestia
:
but
seing
she
is
dead
,
&
there
liueth
not
such
another
Sephestia
,
sue
to
her
and
loue
her
,
for
that
it
is
either
a
selfe
same
or
another
Sephestia
.
In
this
hope
Melicertus
fel
to
his
slumber
,
but
Samela
was
not
so
content
:
for
shee
began
thus
to
muse
with
her selfe
;
May
this
Melicertus
be
a
shepheard
:
or
can
a
countrie
cotage
affoord
such
perfection
?
doth
this
coast
bring
forth
such
excellence
?
then
happie
are
the
virgins
shall
haue
such
suters
,
and
the
wiues
such
pleasing
husbands
;
but
his
face
is
not
inchacte
with
anie
rusticke
proportion
,
his
browes
containe
the
characters
of
nobilitie
,
and
his
lookes
in
shepheards
weeds
are
Lordlie
,
his
voyce
pleasing
,
his
wit
full
of
gentrie
:
weigh
all
these
equallie
,
and
consider
Samela
is
it
not
thy
Maximus
?
Fond
foole
away
with
these
suppositions
;
could
the
dreaming
of
Andromache
call
Hector
from
his
graue
?
or
can
the
vision
of
my
husband
raise
him
from
the
seas
?
Tush
stoop
not
to
such
vanities
:
hee
is
dead
,
and
therefore
grieue
not
thy
memorie
with
the
imagination
of
his
new
reuiue
,
for
there
hath
been
but
one
Hippolitus
found
to
be
Virbius
,
twise
a
man
,
to
salue
Samela
than
this
suppose
;
if
they
court
thee
with
hyacinth
,
〈◊〉
them
with
roses
;
if
he
send
thee
a
lambe
,
prese●…t
him
an
eawe
;
if
he
wooe
,
be
wooed
;
and
for
no
other
reason
,
but
,
hee
is
like
Maximius
.
Thus
she
rested
,
and
thus
she
slept
,
all
parties
being
equally
content
and
satisfied
with
hope
except
Pesana
,
who
fettred
with
the
feature
of
her
best
beloued
Menaphon
sate
cursing
Cupide
as
a
partiall
Deitie
,
that
would
make
more
daye
light
in
the
Firmament
than
one
Sunne
,
more
rainebowes
in
the
heauen
than
one
Iris
,
&
more
loues
in
one
heart
than
one
settled
passion
:
manie
praiers
she
made
to
Venus
for
reuenge
,
manie
vowes
to
Cupide
,
manie
orizons
to
Hymaeneus
,
if
shee
might
possesse
the
type
of
her
desires
.
Well
poore
soule
,
howsoeuer
she
was
paid
,
she
smothered
all
with
patience
,
and
thought
to
braue
loue
with
séeming
not
to
loue
;
and
thus
she
daily
droue
out
the
time
with
labour
,
&
looking
to
her
heard
,
hearing
euerie
day
by
Doron
who
was
her
kiusman
,
what
successe
Menaphon
had
in
his
loues
.
Thus
Fates
and
Fortune
dallying
a
dolefull
Catastrophe
,
to
make
a
more
pleasing
Epitazis
,
it
fell
out
amongst
them
thus
.
Melicertus
going
to
the
fields
,
as
he
was
wont
to
doo
with
his
flockes
,
droue
to
graze
as
néere
the
swaines
of
Menaphon
as
he
might
,
to
haue
a
view
of
his
new
enterteined
Mistres
;
who
,
according
to
his
expectation
came
thether
euerie
day
.
Melicertus
esteeming
her
to
bee
some
Farmers
daughter
at
the
most
,
could
not
tell
how
to
court
her
:
yet
at
length
calling
to
rembrance
her
rare
wit
discouered
in
her
last
discourses
,
finding
opportunitie
to
giue
her
both
bal
and
racket
,
se●…ing
the
coast
was
cleere
,
and
that
none
but
Samela
and
he
were
in
the
flew
,
he
left
his
flocke
in
the
valley
,
and
stept
vnto
her
,
and
saluted
her
thus
.
Mistres
of
al
eyes
that
glance
but
at
the
excellence
of
your
perfection
,
soueraigne
of
all
such
as
Venus
hath
allowed
for
louers
,
Oenones
ouermatch
,
Arcadies
comet
,
beauties
second
comfort
;
all
haile
:
seeing
you
sit
like
Iuno
when
shee
first
〈◊〉
her
white
heyfer
on
the
Lincen
downes
,
as
bright
as
siluer
Phoebe
mounted
on
the
high
top
of
the
ruddie
〈◊〉
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
attractiue
force
drawne
,
as
the
adamant
draweth
the
yron
,
or
the
ieat
the
straw
,
to
〈◊〉
your
sweete
selfe
in
the
shade
,
and
affoord
you
such
companie
as
a
poore
swaine
may
yeeld
without
offence
;
which
if
you
shall
vouch
to
deigne
of
,
I
shall
be
as
glad
of
such
accepted
seruice
,
as
Paris
first
was
of
his
best
beloued
Paramour
.
Samela
looking
on
the
shepheardes
face
,
and
seeing
his
vtterance
full
of
broken
sighes
,
thought
to
bee
pleasant
with
her
shepheard
thus
.
Arcadies
Apollo
,
whose
brightnesse
draws
euerie
eye
to
turne
as
the
Heliotropion
〈◊〉
after
her
load
;
fairest
of
the
shepheards
,
the
Nimphes
sweetest
obiect
,
womens
wrong
,
in
wronging
manie
with
ones
due
;
welcome
,
and
so
welcome
,
as
we
vouchsafe
of
your
seruice
,
admitte
of
your
companie
,
as
of
him
that
is
the
grace
of
al
companies
;
and
if
we
durst
vpon
any
light
pardon
,
woulde
venter
to
request
you
shew
vs
a
cast
of
your
cunning
.
Samela
made
this
replie
,
because
she
heard
him
so
superfine
,
as
if
Ephaebus
had
learnd
him
to
refine
his
mother
tongue
,
wherefore
thought
he
had
done
it
of
an
inkhorne
desire
to
be
eloquent
;
and
Melicertus
thinking
that
Samela
had
learnd
with
Lucilla
in
Athens
to
anotamize
wit
,
and
speake
none
but
Similes
,
imagined
she
smoothed
her
talke
to
be
thought
like
Sapho
Phaos
Paramour
.
Thus
deceiued
either
in
others
suppositions
,
Samela
followed
her
sute
thus
;
I
know
that
Priamus
wanton
could
not
be
without
flockes
of
Nymphes
to
follow
him
in
the
Uale
of
Ida
,
beautie
hath
legions
to
attende
her
excellence
if
the
shepheard
be
true
;
if
like
Narcissus
you
wrap
not
not
your
face
in
the
cloude
of
disdaine
,
you
cannot
but
haue
some
rare
Paragon
to
your
Mistres
,
whome
I
woulde
haue
you
in
some
sonnet
describe
.
Ioues
last
loue
,
if
Ioue
coulde
get
from
Iuno
,
my
pipe
shal
presume
and
I
aduenture
with
my
voice
to
set
out
my
Mistres
fauour
for
your
excellence
to
censure
of
,
and
therefore
thus
.
Yet
Melicertus
for
that
〈◊〉
had
a
farther
reach
,
would
not
make
anie
clownish
description
,
chanted
it
thus
cunningly
.
Melicertus
description
of
his
Mistres
.
Tune
on
my
pipe
the
praises
of
my
Loue
,
And
midst
thy
eaten
harmonie
recount
How
faire
she
is
that
makes
thy
musicke
mount
,
And
euerie
string
of
thy
hearts
harpe
to
moue
.
Shall
I
compare
her
forme
vnto
the
spheare
Whence
Sun-bright
Venus
〈◊〉
her
siluer
shine
?
Ah
more
than
that
by
iust
compare
is
thine
,
Whose
Christall
lookes
the
cloudie
heauens
〈◊〉
cleare
.
How
oft
haue
I
descending
Titan
seene
His
burning
lockes
couch
in
the
Sea-queenes
lap
,
And
beauteous
Thetis
his
red
bodie
wrap
In
watrie
roabes
,
as
he
her
Lord
had
been
.
When
as
my
Nimph
impatient
of
the
night
Bad
bright
Atraeus
with
his
traine
giue
place
,
Whiles
she
led
foorth
the
day
with
her
faire
face
,
And
lent
each
starre
a
more
than
Delian
light
.
Not
Ioue
or
Nature
should
they
both
agree
To
make
a
woman
of
the
Firmament
,
Of
his
mixt
puritie
could
not
inuent
A
Skie
borne
forme
so
beautifull
as
she
.
When
Melicertus
had
ended
this
roundelay
in
prayse
of
his
Mistres
,
Samela
perceiued
by
his
description
,
that
either
some
better
Poet
than
himselfe
had
made
it
,
or
else
that
his
former
phrase
was
dissembled
:
wherefore
to
trie
him
thoroughly
,
and
to
see
what
snake
laye
hidden
vnder
the
grasse
,
she
followed
the
chase
in
this
manner
.
Melicertus
,
might
not
a
straunger
craue
your
Mistres
name
.
At
this
the
shepheard
blusht
,
and
made
no
reply
.
How
now
quoth
Samela
,
what
is
she
meane
that
you
shame
,
or
so
high
as
you
fear
to
bewray
the
souereign
of
your
thoughts
?
Stand
not
in
doubt
man
,
for
be
she
base
,
I
reade
that
mightie
Tamberlaine
after
his
wife
Zenocrate
(
the
worlds
faire
eye
)
past
out
of
the
Theater
of
this
mortall
life
,
he
chose
stigmaticall
trulls
to
please
his
humorous
fancie
.
Be
she
a
princesse
,
honour
hangs
in
high
desires
,
and
it
is
the
token
of
a
high
minde
to
venter
for
a
Queene
:
then
gentle
shepheard
tell
me
thy
Mistres
name
.
Melicertus
hearing
his
goddesse
speake
so
fauourably
,
breathed
out
this
sodaine
replie
;
Too
high
Samela
,
and
therefore
I
feare
with
the
Syrian
Wolues
to
barke
against
the
Moone
,
or
with
them
of
Scyrum
to
shoot
against
the
starres
;
in
the
height
of
my
thoughts
soaring
too
high
,
to
fall
with
wofull
repenting
Icarus
:
no
sooner
did
mine
eye
glance
vpon
herbeautie
,
but
as
if
loue
and
fate
had
sate
to
forge
my
fatall
disquiet
,
they
trapte
mee
within
her
lookes
,
and
haling
her
Idaea
through
the
passage
of
my
sight
,
placde
it
so
déeply
in
the
center
of
my
heart
,
as
maugre
al
my
studious
indeuour
it
still
and
euer
will
kéepe
restlesse
possession
:
noting
her
vertues
,
her
beauties
,
her
perfections
,
her
excellence
,
and
feare
of
her
too
high
born
parentage
,
although
painfully
fettered
,
yet
haue
I
still
feared
to
dare
so
haute
〈◊〉
attempt
to
so
braue
a
personage
;
least
she
offensiue
at
my
presumption
,
I
perish
in
the
height
of
my
thoughts
.
This
conclusion
broken
with
an
abrubt
passion
,
could
not
so
satisfie
Samela
but
she
would
bee
further
inquisitiue
.
At
last
after
manie
questions
,
he
answered
thus
;
seeing
Samela
I
consume
my selfe
,
&
displease
you
;
to
hazarde
for
the
salue
that
maye
cure
my
malady
,
&
satisfie
your
question
,
know
it
is
the
beauteous
Samela
.
Be
there
more
of
that
name
in
Arcady
beside
my selfe
quoth
she
.
I
know
not
qd
Melicertus
,
but
wer
there
a
million
,
onely
you
are
Melicertus
Samela
.
But
of
a
million
qu●…th
she
,
I
cannot
be
Melicertus
Samela
,
for
loue
hath
but
one
arrowe
of
desire
in
his
quiuer
,
but
one
string
to
his
bow
,
&
in
choyce
but
one
aime
of
affection
.
Haue
ye
alreadie
quoth
Melicertus
set
your
rest
vpon
some
higher
personage
?
No
quoth
Samela
,
I
meane
by
your selfe
,
for
I
haue
hearte
that
your
fancie
is
linked
alreadie
to
a
beautiful
shepherdesse
in
Arcadie
.
At
this
the
pore
swaine
tainted
his
cheeks
with
a
vermilion
die
,
yet
thinking
to
carrie
out
the
matter
with
a
〈◊〉
,
he
●…tood
to
his
tackling
thus
;
Whosoeuer
Samela
descanted
of
that
loue
,
tolde
you
a
Canterbury
tale
;
some
propheticall
full
mouth
that
as
he
were
a
Coblers
eldest
sonne
,
would
by
the
laste
tell
where
anothers
shooe
wrings
,
but
his
sowterly
aime
was
iust
leuell
,
in
thinking
euerie
looke
was
loue
,
or
euerie
faire
worde
a
pawne
of
loyaltie
.
Then
quoth
Samela
taking
him
at
a
rebound
,
neither
may
I
thinke
your
glaunces
to
be
fancies
,
nor
your
greatest
protestation
any
assurance
of
deepe
affection
:
therefore
ceasing
off
to
court
any
further
at
this
time
,
thinke
you
haue
prooued
your selfe
a
tall
souldier
to
continue
so
long
at
batterie
,
and
that
I
am
a
fau●…rable
foe
that
haue
continued
so
long
a
parley
;
but
I
charge
you
by
the
loue
you
owe
your
deerest
Mistres
,
not
to
say
any
more
as
touching
loue
for
this
time
.
If
Samela
quoth
hee
,
thou
hadst
enioyned
me
as
Iuno
did
to
Hercules
,
most
daungerous
labours
,
I
would
haue
discouered
my
loue
by
obedience
,
and
my
a●…fection
by
death
:
yet
let
me
craue
this
,
that
as
I
begunne
with
a
Sonnet
,
so
I
may
ende
with
a
Madrigale
.
Content
Melicertus
quoth
she
,
for
none
more
than
I
loue
Musique
.
Upon
this
replie
the
shepheard
proud
folowed
this
Dittie
.
Melicertus
Madrigal●…
.
What
are
my
sheepe
without
their
wonted
food
?
What
is
my
life
except
I
gaine
my
Loue
?
My
sheepe
consume
and
faint
for
want
of
blood
.
My
life
is
lost
vnlesse
I
grace
approue
.
No
flower
that
saplesse
thriues
:
No
Turtle
without
pheare
.
The
day
without
the
Sunne
dooth
〈◊〉
for
woe
,
Then
woe
mine
eyes
vnlesse
they
beautie
se●…
:
My
Sunne
Samelaes
eyes
,
by
whom
I
know
Wherein
delight
consists
,
where
pleasures
be
.
Nought
more
the
heart
reuiues
Than
to
imbrace
his
deare
.
The
starres
from
earthly
humors
gaine
their
light
,
Our
humors
by
their
light
possesse
their
power
:
Samelaes
eyes
fidde
by
my
weeping
sight
,
Insues
my
paine
or
ioyes
by
smile
,
or
lower
.
So
wends
the
source
of
loue
.
It
feedes
,
it
failes
,
it
ends
.
Kinde
lookes
cleare
to
your
ioy
behold
her
eyes
,
Admire
her
heart
,
desire
to
taste
her
kisses
;
In
them
the
heauen
of
ioy
and
solace
lies
,
Without
them
evry
hope
his
succour
misses
.
Oh
how
I
loue
to
prooue
Wheretoo
this
solace
tends
.
Scarce
had
the
shepheard
ended
this
Madrigale
,
but
Samela
began
to
frowne
,
saying
he
had
broken
promise
.
Melicertus
alledged
if
he
had
vttred
any
passion
,
〈◊〉
sung
,
not
said
.
Thus
these
Louers
in
a
humorous
descant
of
their
prattle
espied
a
farre
off
olde
Lamedon
and
Menaphon
comming
towards
them
;
whereupon
kissing
in
conceipt
,
&
parting
with
interchaunged
glaunces
,
Melicertus
stole
to
his
sheepe
,
and
Samela
sate
her
downe
making
of
nets
to
catche
birds
.
At
last
Lamedon
and
her
Loue
came
,
and
after
manie
gracious
lookes
,
and
much
good
parley
,
helpte
her
home
with
her
sheepe
,
and
put
them
in
the
folds
.
But
leauing
these
amorous
shepheardes
busie
in
their
loues
,
let
vs
retourne
at
length
to
the
pretie
babie
Samelas
childe
,
whom
Menaphon
had
put
to
nurse
in
the
countrey
.
This
infant
being
by
Nature
beautifull
,
and
by
birth
noble
,
euen
in
his
cradle
expres●…
to
the
eyes
of
the
gazers
such
glorious
presages
of
his
approching
fortunes
,
as
if
another
Alcides
(
the
arme-strong
darling
of
the
doubled
night
)
by
wrastling
with
snakes
in
his
swadling
cloutes
,
should
propherie
to
the
world
the
approthing
wonders
of
his
prowesse
;
so
did
his
〈◊〉
looks
reflect
terror
to
the
weake
beholders
of
his
ingrafted
nobilitie
,
as
if
some
God
twise
born
like
vnto
the
Thracian
Bacchus
,
forsaking
his
heauen
borne
Deitie
,
shoulde
delude
our
eyes
with
the
alternate
forme
of
his
infancie
.
Fiue
yeres
had
full
runne
their
monthly
reuolution
,
when
as
this
beauteous
boy
began
to
shew
himselfe
among
the
shepheards
children
,
with
whom
he
had
no
sooner
contracted
familiar
acquaintance
,
but
straight
he
was
chosen
Lord
of
the
May
game
,
king
of
their
sports
,
and
ringleader
of
their
reuils
;
insomuch
that
his
tender
mother
beholding
him
by
chance
mounted
in
his
kingly
maiestie
,
and
imitating
honorable
iustice
in
his
game
〈◊〉
exercise
of
discipline
,
with
teares
of
ioy
took
vp
these
propheticall
termes
;
well
doo
I
see
,
where
God
and
Fate
hath
vowed
〈◊〉
,
no
aduerse
fortune
may
expel
prosperitie
.
Pleusidippus
thou
art
young
,
thy
lookes
high
,
and
thy
thoughtes
hautie
;
souereigntie
is
seated
in
thy
eyes
,
and
honour
in
thy
heart
;
I
feare
this
fire
will
haue
his
flame
,
and
then
am
I
vndone
in
thee
my
〈◊〉
;
my
countrey
life
(
sweete
countrey
life
)
in
thy
proud
soaring
hopes
,
despoysed
and
disroabed
of
the
disguised
aray
of
his
rest
,
must
returne
〈◊〉
weedes
to
the
foldes
where
I
lefte
my
feares
,
and
hast
to
the
court
my
hell
,
there
to
inuest
me
in
my
wonted
cares
.
How
now
Samela
,
wilt
thou
be
a
Sybil
of
mishap
to
thy selfe
:
the
angrie
heauens
that
haue
eternisht
thy
exile
,
haue
establisht
thy
content
in
Arcadie
.
My
content
in
Arcadie
,
that
may
not
be
no
longer
than
my
Pleusidippus
staies
in
Arcadie
,
which
I
haue
cause
to
feare
,
for
the
whelps
of
the
Lion
are
no
longer
harmlesse
than
when
they
are
whelpes
,
and
babes
no
longer
to
be
awed
,
than
while
they
are
babes
.
I
but
nature
,
&
therewith
she
pawsed
,
being
interrupted
by
a
tumult
of
boies
,
that
by
yong
Pleusidippus
command
fell
vpon
one
of
their
f●…llowes
,
and
beate
him
most
〈◊〉
for
playing
false
playe
at
nine
holes
:
which
she
espying
through
her
lattise
window
,
could
not
chose
but
smile
about
measure
.
But
when
she
saw
him
in
his
childish
termes
condemne
one
to
death
for
despising
the
authoritie
bequeathed
him
by
the
rest
of
the
boyes
,
then
she
bethought
her
of
the
Persian
Cyrus
that
deposed
his
Grandfather
Astyages
,
whose
vse
it
was
at
like
age
to
imitate
maiestie
in
like
manner
.
In
this
distraction
of
thoughts
she
had
not
long
time
staid
,
but
Lamedon
and
Menaphon
calde
her
awaye
to
accompany
them
to
the
foldes
,
whiles
Pleusidippus
hasting
to
the
execution
of
iustice
,
dismissed
his
boyish
session
till
their
next
meeting
:
where
how
imperiously
he
behaued
himselfe
in
punishing
misorders
amongest
his
equals
,
in
vsing
more
than
iesting
iustice
towards
his
vntamed
copesmates
,
I
referre
it
to
the
Annuals
of
the
Arcadians
that
dilate
not
a
little
of
this
ingenious
argument
.
In
this
sort
did
Pleusidippus
draw
foorth
his
infancie
,
till
on
a
time
walking
to
the
shore
,
where
hee
with
his
mother
were
wrackt
,
to
gather
cockles
and
pebble
stones
,
as
children
are
wont
:
there
arriued
on
the
strond
a
Thessalian
Pirate
named
Eurilachus
,
who
after
he
had
forraged
in
the
Arcadian
confines
,
driuing
before
him
a
large
bootie
of
beasts
to
his
ships
espied
this
pretie
infant
;
when
gazing
on
his
face
as
wanton
Ioue
gazed
on
Phrygian
Ganimede
in
the
fields
of
Ida
,
hee
exhaled
into
his
eyes
such
déepe
impression
of
his
perfection
,
as
that
his
thought
neuet
thirsted
so
much
after
any
pray
,
as
this
pretie
Pleusidippus
possession
:
but
determining
first
to
assay
him
by
curtesie
before
hee
assayled
him
with
rigour
,
he
began
to
trie
his
wit
after
this
manner
.
My
little
childe
,
whence
art
thou
,
where
wert
thou
borne
,
what
s
thy
name
,
and
wherefore
wandrest
thou
thus
all
alone
on
the
shoare
.
I
pray
ye
what
are
you
sir
quoth
Pleusidippus
,
that
deale
thus
with
me
by
interrogatories
,
as
if
I
were
some
runne
away
.
Wilt
thou
not
tell
me
then
who
was
thy
father
:
Said
he
,
Good
sir
,
if
ye
will
needes
knowe
goe
aske
that
of
my
mother
.
Hath
said
wel
my
Lord
quoth
Romanio
who
was
one
of
his
especiall
associates
,
for
wise
are
the
children
in
these
dayes
that
know
their
owne
fathers
,
especially
if
they
be
begotten
in
Dogge
daies
,
when
their
mothers
are
franticke
with
loue
,
&
yong
men
furious
for
lust
.
Besides
,
who
knows
not
,
that
these
Arcadians
are
giuen
to
take
the
benefit
of
euerie
●…odge
,
when
they
will
sacrifice
their
virginitie
to
Venus
,
though
they
haue
but
a
bush
of
nettles
for
their
bedde
;
and
sure
this
boy
is
but
some
shepheards
bastard
at
the
most
,
howsoeuer
his
wanton
face
importeth
more
than
appéerance
.
Pseusidippus
eyes
at
this
speach
resolued
into
fire
,
and
his
face
into
purple
,
with
a
more
than
common
courage
in
children
of
his
yeares
and
stature
,
gaue
him
the
lie
roundly
in
this
replie
;
Pesant
,
the
bastard
in
thy
face
,
for
I
am
a
Gentleman
:
wert
thou
a
man
in
courage
,
as
thou
art
a
Kowe
in
proportion
,
thou
wouldst
neuer
haue
so
much
empayred
thy
honestie
,
as
to
derogate
from
my
honor
.
Look
not
in
my
face
but
leuel
at
my
heart
by
this
that
thou
seest
,
and
therewith
let
driue
at
him
with
such
pebble
stones
as
hee
had
in
his
hat
,
insomuch
that
Romanio
was
driuen
to
his
heeles
,
to
shun
this
sodaine
haile
shot
,
and
Eurilochus
resolued
into
a
laughter
,
and
in
tearmes
of
admiration
most
highly
extolled
so
exceeding
magnanimitie
in
so
little
a
bodie
;
which
how
auaileable
it
prooued
to
the
confirmation
of
his
fancie
,
that
was
before
inflamed
with
his
features
,
let
them
imagine
,
that
haue
noted
the
imbecilitie
of
that
age
,
and
the
vnresisted
furie
of
men
at
armes
.
Sufficeth
at
this
instant
to
vnfolde
(
all
other
circumstance
of
praise
laid
apart
)
that
Eurilochus
being
farre
in
loue
with
his
extraordinarie
lineaments
,
awaited
no
farther
parley
,
but
willed
his
men
perforce
to
hoyse
him
a
shipboord
,
intending
as
soone
as
euer
he
arriued
in
Thessaly
,
by
sending
him
to
the
Courte
as
a
present
,
to
make
his
peace
with
his
Lord
and
Master
Agenor
,
who
not
long
before
had
proclaimed
him
as
a
notorious
Pirate
throughout
all
his
dominions
.
Neither
swarued
hee
one
whit
from
his
purpose
,
for
no
sooner
had
he
cast
auker
in
the
Port
of
Hadrionopolis
,
but
he
arraied
him
in
choyce
silkes
and
Tyrian
purple
,
&
so
sent
him
as
a
prize
to
the
King
of
that
Country
,
who
walwalking
as
then
in
his
summer
garden
with
his
Queen
the
beauteous
Eriphila
,
fell
to
discourse
(
as
one
well
séene
in
Philosophie
)
of
hearbes
and
flowers
,
as
the
sauour
or
colour
did
occasion
;
and
hauing
spent
some
time
in
disputing
their
medicinable
properties
,
his
Ladie
reaching
him
a
Marigold
,
he
began
to
moralize
of
it
thus
merely
.
I
meruaile
the
Poets
that
were
so
prodig
all
in
painting
the
amorous
affection
of
the
Sunne
to
his
Hyacinth
,
did
neuer
obserue
the
relation
of
loue
twixt
him
and
the
Marigold
:
it
shoulde
either
séeme
they
were
loath
to
incurre
the
displeasure
of
women
,
by
propounding
it
in
the
way
of
comparison
any
seruile
imitation
for
head
strong
wiues
,
that
loue
no
precepts
lesse
,
than
those
pertaining
vnto
duty
;
or
that
that
flower
not
so
vsual
in
their
gardens
as
ours
,
in
her
vnacquainted
name
did
obscure
the
honour
of
her
amors
to
Apollo
;
to
whose
motions
reducing
the
methode
of
her
springing
,
she
waketh
and
sleepeth
,
openeth
and
shutteth
her
golden
leaues
,
as
he
riseth
and
setteth
.
Well
did
you
forestall
my
exception
quoth
Eriphila
,
in
terming
it
a
seruile
imitation
;
for
were
the
condition
of
a
wife
so
slauish
as
your
similitude
would
inferre
,
I
had
as
leaue
be
your
page
as
your
spouse
,
your
dogge
as
your
darling
.
Not
so
swéete
wife
answered
Agenor
,
but
the
comparison
holdeth
in
this
,
that
as
the
Marigold
resembleth
the
Sunne
both
in
colour
and
forme
,
so
each
mans
wife
ought
euerie
way
to
be
the
image
of
her
husband
,
framing
her
countenance
to
smile
,
when
she
sées
him
disposed
to
mirth
;
and
contrariwise
her
eyes
to
teares
,
he
being
surcharged
with
melancholy
:
and
as
the
Marigold
displaieth
the
orient
ornaments
of
her
beautie
to
the
resplendant
viewe
of
none
but
her
louer
Hyperion
,
so
ought
not
a
woman
of
modestie
lay
open
the
allurements
of
her
face
to
anie
but
her
espoused
pheere
;
in
whose
absence
like
the
Marigold
in
the
absence
of
the
Simne
,
she
ought
to
shut
vp
her
dores
,
and
solemnize
continuall
night
,
till
her
husband
her
sunne
making
a
happie
return
,
vnsealeth
her
silence
with
the
ioy
of
his
sight
.
Beléeue
me
,
but
if
all
flowers
(
quoth
Eriphila
)
affoord
such
influence
of
eloquence
to
our
aduerse
orators
,
He
exempt
them
all
from
my
smell
,
for
feare
they
be
all
planted
to
poyson
.
Ofte
haue
I
heard
(
replied
Agenor
)
our
cunning
Phisitions
conclude
,
that
one
poyson
is
harmelesse
to
another
;
which
if
it
be
so
,
there
is
no
cause
why
a
〈◊〉
should
feare
to
be
stung
of
a
nettle
.
I
can
tell
you
sir
,
you
best
were
beware
,
least
in
wading
too
farre
in
comparisons
of
thistles
and
nettles
,
you
exchange
not
your
rose
for
a
nettle
.
If
I
do
quoth
Agenor
,
it
is
no
more
,
but
my
gardeners
shall
plucke
it
vp
by
the
rootes
,
and
throw
it
ouer
the
wal
as
a
weed
.
To
end
this
iest
that
els
would
issue
to
〈◊〉
.
what
purple
flower
is
this
in
forme
like
a
hyacinth
(
quoth
Eriphila
)
so
cunningly
dropped
with
bloud
,
as
if
Nature
had
intermedled
with
the
Peralds
arte
to
emblazon
a
bléeding
heart
.
It
is
the
flower
into
the
which
Poets
〈◊〉
saigne
Venus
dyiug
Adonis
to
be
turnd
,
a
faire
boy
but
passing
infortunate
.
Was
it
possible
quoth
Eriphila
,
that
euer
Nature
should
bée
so
bounteous
to
a
boy
,
to
giue
him
a
face
in
despite
of
women
so
faire
:
faine
would
I
〈◊〉
such
an
obiect
,
and
then
would
I
beste
beautie
,
for
imparting
our
excellencie
to
any
inferiour
abiect
.
In
saying
these
words
(
as
if
Fortune
meant
to
present
her
fancie
with
his
desired
felicitie
)
Romanio
conducted
by
one
of
the
Lords
came
with
yong
Pleusidippus
in
his
hand
into
the
pri●…
garden
:
where
discoursing
vnto
the
king
the
intent
of
Eurilochus
in
presenting
him
with
such
an
inestimable
Jewell
,
the
manner
of
his
taking
in
the
Strond
of
Arcadie
,
with
other
circumstance
of
vowed
alleageance
;
all
which
being
gratefully
accepted
of
Agenor
,
he
sealed
their
seuerall
par●…ons
,
&
so
gaue
them
leaue
to
depart
.
But
when
be
had
throughly
obscrued
euerie
perfection
of
yong
Pleusidippus
,
he
burst
into
these
tearmes
of
passion
;
Pad
sea-borne
Pontia
then
an
appliable
eare
in
our
idlenesse
,
that
to
testiste
hir
eteruall
deitie
,
she
should
send
vs
a
second
Adonis
to
delude
our
senses
:
What
euer
may
deserue
the
name
of
faire
haue
I
〈◊〉
before
,
beautie
haue
I
beheld
in
his
brighest
orb
,
but
neuer
set
eye
on
immortalitie
before
this
houre
.
Eriphila
likewise
in
no
lesse
extasie
,
séeing
her
eyes
to
dazle
with
the
reflexe
of
his
beautie
,
and
hir
chéekes
tainted
with
a
blush
of
disgrace
by
too
too
much
gazing
on
his
face
,
said
;
that
eyther
the
Sunne
had
lefte
his
bower
to
beguile
their
eyes
with
a
borrowed
shape
(
which
could
not
keepe
in
his
brightnesse
)
or
Cupide
dismounted
from
his
mothers
lappe
,
left
his
bow
&
quiuer
at
randon
,
to
outbraue
the
Thessalian
dames
in
their
beautie
,
In
this
contrariecie
of
thoughts
,
being
all
plunged
〈◊〉
in
〈◊〉
speachlesse
astonishment
,
the
faire
childe
Pleusidippus
not
vsed
to
such
hyperbolical
spectators
,
broke
off
the
silence
by
calling
for
his
victualls
,
as
one
whose
emptie
stomack
since
his
comming
from
sea
,
was
not
ouercloyed
with
delicates
,
whereat
Agenor
reuiued
from
his
trance
,
wherein
the
present
wonder
had
inwrapt
him
,
demanded
such
questions
of
his
name
and
parentage
as
the
Pirates
ignorance
could
not
vnfold
;
but
he
being
able
to
tel
no
more
than
this
,
that
his
mother
was
a
shepheardesse
,
&
his
owne
name
Pleusidippus
,
cut
off
all
their
further
interrogatories
by
calling
after
his
childish
manuer
againe
for
his
dinner
.
Whereupon
Agenor
commanding
him
to
be
had
in
,
and
vsed
in
euerie
respect
as
the
childe
of
a
Prince
,
beganin
his
solitarie
walke
by
his
countenance
to
calculate
his
Natiuitie
,
and
measure
his
birth
by
his
beautie
,
contracting
him
in
thought
heyre
to
his
kingdome
of
Thessaly
,
and
husbande
to
his
daughter
,
before
he
knewe
whence
the
childe
descended
,
or
who
was
his
father
.
But
leauing
yong
Pleusidippus
thus
spending
his
youth
in
the
Thessalian
Court
,
protected
with
the
tender
affection
of
such
a
courteous
Foster-father
as
Agenor
;
returne
wee
where
we
lefte
backe
vnto
Arcadie
,
and
meete
his
Mother
the
faire
Samela
returning
from
the
foldes
:
who
hauing
discoursed
by
the
way
as
she
came
home
to
Lamedon
and
Menaphon
what
shee
late
sawe
and
obserued
in
her
sonne
,
they
both
conioyned
their
iudgements
to
this
conclusion
,
that
hee
was
doubtles
borne
to
some
greater
fortunes
than
the
sheep-coates
could
containe
,
and
therefore
it
behooued
her
to
further
his
Destinies
with
some
good
and
liberall
education
,
and
not
to
detaine
him
any
longer
in
that
trade
of
life
,
which
his
fortune
withstood
:
but
by
the
way
to
rebuke
him
for
tyrannising
so
Lorlolie
ouer
the
boies
,
least
the
neighbor
shepheards
might
happely
intrude
the
name
of
iniurie
on
them
being
strangers
for
his
insulting
ouer
their
children
.
With
this
determination
came
she
home
,
&
calling
for
Pleusidippus
according
to
their
former
counsaile
,
he
would
in
no
wise
be
found
.
Thereupon
enquirie
was
made
amongest
all
the
shepheards
,
diligent
search
in
euerie
village
,
but
stil
the
most
carefullest
post
returned
with
Non
est
inuentus
.
Which
Samela
hearing
,
thinking
she
had
vtterly
lost
him
whome
Fortune
had
saued
,
began
in
this
manner
to
act
her
vnrest
;
Dissembling
heauens
,
where
is
your
happinesse
?
vnconstant
times
,
what
are
your
triumphes
?
haue
you
therefore
hethertoo
fed
me
with
honie
,
that
you
might
at
last
poyson
me
with
gall
?
Haue
you
fatted
mee
so
long
with
Sardenian
smiles
,
that
like
the
wracke
of
the
Syrens
,
I
might
perrish
in
your
wiles
?
Curst
that
I
was
to
affie
in
your
curtesie
,
curst
that
am
to
taste
of
your
crueltie
.
O
Pleusidippus
,
liuest
thou
,
or
art
thou
dead
?
No
thou
art
dead
,
dead
to
the
world
,
dead
to
thy
〈◊〉
,
dead
to
Cipres
,
dead
to
Arcadie
,
dead
to
thy
mother
Samela
;
and
with
thee
dies
the
worlds
wonder
,
thy
kinsfolkes
comfort
,
Cipres
soule
,
Arcadies
hopes
,
thy
mothers
honours
.
Was
this
the
prophecie
of
thy
souereigntie
,
to
yeeld
vp
thy
life
to
death
so
vntimely
?
wretched
was
I
of
al
women
to
bring
thee
foorth
to
this
infancie
.
O
cruel
Themis
that
didst
reuolue
such
vneuitable
fate
;
hard
harted
death
to
prosecute
me
with
such
hate
.
〈◊〉
wee
therefore
escapce
the
furie
of
the
seas
,
to
perish
on
the
land
?
was
it
not
inough
that
we
were
exiled
from
higher
prosperitie
,
but
we
must
all
of
vs
thus
sodainly
be
ouer
whelmed
with
the
ouerflowe
of
a
second
aduersitie
?
my
husband
and
thy
father
to
be
swalowed
in
the
furie
of
the
surge
,
and
now
thou
to
bee
(
and
therewith
her
eyes
distilled
such
abundance
of
teares
,
as
stoyt
the
passage
of
her
plaints
,
&
made
her
seeme
a
more
than
second
Niobe
,
be
wailing
her
seauen
fold
sorrow
vnder
the
forme
of
a
wéeping
Flint
.
)
Menaphon
who
had
ouer
heard
her
all
this
while
,
as
one
that
sought
opportunitie
to
plead
his
vnrest
,
perceiuing
her
in
that
extremitie
of
agonie
for
hir
sous
supposed
losse
,
stept
to
hir
presently
,
&
cheerde
hir
vp
in
these
tearmes
;
Faire
shepheardesse
,
might
the
teares
of
contrition
raise
the
dead
from
destruction
,
then
were
it
wisedome
to
be
waile
what
weeping
might
recall
;
but
since
such
anguish
is
fruitelesse
,
and
these
plainings
bootlesse
;
comfort
your self
with
the
hope
of
the
liuing
,
and
omit
the
teares
for
the
dead
.
Why
quoth
Samela
how
is
it
possible
a
woman
should
loose
him
without
griefe
,
whom
she
hathconceiued
with
sorrow
:
he
was
sweete
Menaphon
;
the
diuided
halfe
of
my
essence
,
soule
to
my
ioyes
,
and
life
to
my
delights
;
as
beauteous
in
his
b●…irth
,
as
is
our
bright
bow-bearing
God
,
that
played
the
shepheard
awhile
for
loue
,
amiddest
our
pleasant
Arcadian
Downes
.
What
ere
hee
was
in
beautie
quoth
Menaphon
,
proceeded
from
your
bountie
;
who
may
by
marriage
make
his
like
when
you
please
:
therefore
there
is
no
cause
you
shuld
so
much
grieue
to
see
your
first
worke
defacde
,
that
of
a
newe
molde
can
forme
a
farre
better
than
euer
he
was
.
Ah
Menaphon
,
nere
more
may
his
like
proceede
from
my
loynes
;
I
tell
thee
he
made
the
chamber
bright
with
his
beautie
when
he
was
born
,
and
chacte
the
night
with
the
golden
rayes
that
gleamed
from
his
lookes
:
nere
more
may
I
bee
the
mother
of
such
a
sonne
.
Yes
Samela
(
quoth
the
frolicke
shephearde
)
thinke
not
but
if
thou
wilt
list
to
my
loues
,
I
will
enrich
thée
with
as
faire
increase
as
euer
he
was
.
Alas
pore
swaine
said
she
,
thou
hopest
in
vaine
,
since
another
must
reape
what
thou
hast
sowne
,
and
gather
into
his
barnes
what
thou
hast

through

Belike
then
quoth
Samela
,
when
you
intertained
me
into
your
house
,
you
did
it
not
in
regarde
of
the
lawes
of
hospitalitie
,
but
onely
with
this
policie
to
quench
the
flames
of
your
faucie
:
then
sir
haue
I
〈◊〉
your
honestie
,
and
am
lesse
indebted
to
your
courtesie
.
Nay
I
thought
no
lesse
said
Menaphon
,
when
your
straggling
eye
at
our
last
méeting
would
be
gadding
throughout
euerie
corner
of
our
companie
,
that
you
would
proue
such
a
kinde
kistrell
;
but
if
you
will
néedes
bee
starting
,
I
le
serue
yee
thereafter
I
warrant
you
:
then
see
which
of
our
beardlesse
yongsters
will
take
ye
in
,
when
I
haue
cast
you
foorth
.
Those
quoth
shee
that
countenance
Menaphon
and
his

,
and
are
better
able
than
your selfe
:
but
howsoeuer
I
finde
their
fauour
,
I
hence
forth
defie
you
and
your
fellowship
.
And
there
with
in
great
rage
she
〈◊〉
away
into
the
next
chamber
,
where
her
vncle
Lamedon
laye
a
sleepe
;
to
whome
complaining
of
Menaphons
〈◊〉
,
he
straight
inuented
this
remedie
;
there
was
a
shepheard
called
Moron
(
brother
to
Doron
)
that
not
long
before
died
of
a
surfet
,
whose
house
and
flocke
beeing
set
to
sale
after
his
decease
,
be
bought
them
both
foorth
with
for
Samela
with
certaine
remainder
of
money
he
had
,
and
therein
〈◊〉
her
maugre
the
furie
of
Menaphon
;
who
when
hee
saw
she
was
able
to
support
her
state
without
his
purse
,
became
sicke
for
anger
,
and
spent
whole
Eclogues
in
anguish
.
Sometime
lying
comfortlesse
on
his
bedde
he
would
complaine
him
to
the
windes
of
his
woes
,
in
these
or
such
like
woords
;
Forlorne

and

Loue

And
therewith
stretching
himselfe
〈◊〉

bedde
,
as
thinking
to
haue
slept
,
hee
was
restrained
by
cares
that
exiled
all

taking

No
sooner
had
Menaphon
ended
this
dittie
,
but
Pesana
hearing
that
he
was
lately
falne
sicke
,
and
that
Samela
&
hee
were
at
mortall
iarres
;
thinking
now
to
make
hay
while
the
Sunne
shinde
,
and
take
opportunitie
by
his
forelockes
,
〈◊〉
into
his
chamber
vnder
pretence
to
visite
him
,
fell
into
these
tearmes
;
Why
how
now
Menaphon
,
hath
your
newe
change
driuen
you
to
a
night cap
?
Beleeue
me
this
is
the
strangest
effect
of
loue
that
euer
I
saw
,
to
freeze
so
quicklye
the
heart
it
set
on
fire
so
lately
.
Why
maye
it
not
bee
a
burning
feuer
as
well
quoth
Menaphon
blushing
?
Nay
that
can
not
be
said
Pesana
,
since
you
shake
for
cold
,
not
swelt
for
heat
.
Why
if
it
be
so
it
is
long
of
cold
interteinment
.
Why
quoth
Pesana
,
hath
your
hot
in●…ertainment
cooled
your
courage
?
No
,
but
〈◊〉
vndeserued
hate
quite
hindered
my
conquest
.
You
knowe
quoth
Pesana
where
you
might
haue
béen
let
in
long
ere
this
,
without
either
assalt
or
anie
such
battrie
With
this
the
shephearde
was
mute
,
and
Pesana
ashamed
:
but
at
length
regathering
his
spirites
to
be
wray
his
martyrdome
,
and
make
his
olde
Mistresse
some
new
musicke
,
he
strained
foorth
this
dittie
.
Faire
fields
proud
Floras
vaunt
,
why
is
't
you
smile
when
as
I
languish
?
You
golden
meads
,
why
striue
you
to
beguile
my
weeping
anguish
?
I
liue
to
sorrow
,
you
to
pleasure
spring
:
why
doo
you
spring
thus
?
What
will
not
Boreas

wrathfull
king
take
somepitie
on

And
send
foorth
Winter
in

〈◊〉
,
to
waite
my
〈◊〉
;
Whiles
I
distrest
doo
tune
my
countrey
〈◊〉
vnto
my
〈◊〉
.
But
heauen
,
and
earth
,
time
,
place
,
and
euerie
power
haue
with
her
conspired
To
turne
my
blissefull
sweetes
to
balefull
sower
,
since
fond
I
〈◊〉
The
heauen
whereto
my
thoughts
may
not
〈◊〉
:
ay
me
vnhappie
.
It
was
my
fault
t'
imbrace
my
〈◊〉
the
fire
that
forceth
me
die
.
Mine
be
the
〈◊〉
,
but
〈◊〉
the
cruell
ca●…se
of
this
strange
torment
:
Wherefore
no
time
my
banning
praiers
shall
pause
,
till
proud
she
repent
.
Well
I
〈◊〉
quoth
Pesana
,
for
all
she
hath
let
you
flie
like
a
Hawke
that
hath
lo●…t
hir
tyre
;
yet
you
meane
to
follow
sute
and
seruice
,
though
you
get
but
a
handfull
of
smoake
tò
the
bargaine
.
Not
so
quoth
Menaphon
,
but
perhaps
I
séek
to
returne
an
ill
bargaine
as
deare
as
I
bought
it
.
If
you
doo
so
,
you
are
wiser
than
this
kercher
dooth
shew
you
quoth
Pesana
.
Much
idle
prattle
to
this
purpose
had
Menaphon
with
Pesana
in
his
sicknesse
,
and
long
it
was
not
,
but
that
with
good
diet
and
warme
broths
,
(
and
especially
by
her
carefull
attendance
)
hee
began
to
gather
vp
his
crummes
,
and
liften
by
litle
and
litle
to
the
loue
he
late
scorned
.
Leaue
we
them
to
their
equall
desires
,
as
surfetting
either
of
others
societie
;
and
let
vs
looke
back
to
Thessaly
,
where
Samelaes
stripling
(
now
growne
vp
to
the
age
of
sixtéene
yeres
)
flourisht
in
honour
&
feates
of
armes
aboue
all
the
Knights
of
the
Court
,
insomuch
that
the
eccho
of
his
Fame
,
was
the
onely
newes
talke
on
throughout
euerie
towne
in
Greece
:
but
Olympia
the
Mistres
of
his
prowesse
,
(
for
so
was
the
Kings
daughter
named
)
was
she
that
most
of
all
exalted
in
the
farre
renowmed
reports
of
his
martiall
perfections
,
to
whose
prasse
hee
did
〈◊〉
al
his
〈◊〉
,
to
whose
exquisite
forme
he
did
dedicate
all
his
aduentures
.
But
hell-borne
Fame
,
the
eldest
daughter
of
Erinnis
,
enuying
the
felicitie
of
these
two
famous
Louers
,
dismounted
〈◊〉
from
hir
brasse
sounding
buildings
,
and
〈◊〉
hir selfe
of
hir
secrets
in
the
presence
of
yong
Pleusidippus
,
among
whose
catalogue
she
had
not
forgot
to
discouer
,
the
incomparable
beautie
of
the
Arcadian
shepheardesse
;
whereof
the
young
Prince
no
sooner
had
receiued
an
inckling
,
but
he
stood
vpon
thornes
til
he
had
satisfied
his
desire
with
her
sight
.
Therefore
on
a
time
〈◊〉
with
his
Mistresse
at
supper
,
when
for
table
talke
it
was
debated
amongst
them
,
what
Countrey
bredde
the
most
accomplisht
Dames
for
all
things
?
After
straungers
and
others
had
deliuered
vp
their
opinions
without
parcialitie
,
one
amongst
them
all
who
had
been
in
Arcadie
,
gaue
vp
his
verdit
thus
freely
;
Gentle
women
(
quoth
hee
)
bee
it
no
disgrac●…
for
the
Moone
to
〈◊〉
to
the
Sunne
,
for
the
starres
to
giue
place
when
Titan
appeares
;
then
I
hope
neither
the
Thessalians
will
be
moued
,
nor
●…he
Grecians
〈◊〉
,
if
I
make
Apollos

Neither

〈◊〉

of

in
an
Almanacke
,
to
prooue
that
Countrey
for
beautie
most
Canonicall
where
their
Mistresse
abideth
;
when
as
God
〈◊〉
,
had
they
but

of

Ne

,
they
wold
not
haue
aspired
aboue
their

,
or
talkt
beyond
their

Our
Areadian
Nimphs
are
faire

beautifull

though
not
〈◊〉

whose

viewe
but
this
counterf●…ice
(
and
therewithall
hee
shewed
the
picture
of
Samela
)
and
see
is
it
be
not
of
force
to
draw
the
Sunne
from
his

,
or
the
Moone
from
hir

to

did
on

O

of

and
〈◊〉
of

.
At

thy

Pleusidippns
vpon
this
speach
stood
plunged
in
a
great
perplexitie
whether
he
should
excuse
himselfe
〈◊〉
,
or
take
her
vp
roundly
:
but
the
latter
being
more
leuel
〈◊〉
his
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
the

,
he
begun
〈◊〉
to
rowze
vp

〈◊〉
dame
that
vpbraidest
me
with
my
birth
as
it
were
base
,
&
my
youth
as
it
were
boyish
,
know
that
although
my
parents
and
progenie
are
enuied
by
obscuritie
,
yet
the
s●…erkes
of
renowm
that
make
my
Eagle
minded
thoughts
to
mount
,
the
heauenvly
fire
imprisoned
in
the
pannicles
of
my
crest
,
inciting
me
to
more
déeds
of
honor
,
than
stout
Perseus
effected
with
his
fauchon
in
the
fields
of
Hesperia
,
assertaineth
my
soule
I
was
the
sonne
of
no
coward
,
but
a
Gentleman
:
but
since
my
inequalitie
of
parentage
,
is
such
an
eye
sore
to
thy
enuie
,
holde
take
thy
fauors
,
(
and
therewith
he
threw
her
her
gloue
)
and
immortalize
whom
thou
wilt
with
thy

;
for
I
will
to
Arcadie
in
despite
of
thée
and
thine
affinitie
,
there
either
to
seeke
out
mischance
,
or
a

With
this
in
a
great
rage
he
rose
from
the
boord
,
&
would
haue
mounted
himselfe
to
depart
in
that
mood
,
had
not
the
Lords

vnder

of

steale
from

secretly
in

when
〈◊〉
not

vowed

solemnly
in

of

the

,
but
not
to

solemnized
till
the
〈◊〉
was
fulfilled
,
mentioned
in
the
beginning
of
this
Historie
.
Although
this
penance
exceeded
the
limits
of
his

;
yet
hoping
that
the
Oracle
was
not

in
vaine
,
and

wa●…
contented
to
make
a

await

of

But
Pleusidippus
,
who
by
this
time
had
perfected
his
pollicies
,
exchaunging
his
garments
with
one
of
the
heardgroomes
of
Menaphon
,
tracing
〈◊〉
the
Plaines
in
the
habit
of
a
Shepheard
,
chanced
to
meete
with
Democles
as
he
was
new
come
into
those
quarters
;
〈◊〉
mistaking
for
an
olde
shepheard
,
he
began
many
impertinent
questions
belonging
to
the
Sheepe-coates
,
at
last
he
as●…
him
if
he
knew
Samelas
sheepfold
;
who
answering
doubtfully
vnto
all
alike
,
made
him
halfe
angrie
:
and
had
not
Samela
past
by
at
that
instant
to
fill
her
bottle
at
a
spring
〈◊〉
the
foote
of
the
Promontorie
,
he
should
lyke
inough
haue
had
first
h●…sell
of
our
new
Shepheards
shéepehooke
.
But
the
wonder
of
her
beautie
so
wrought
with
his
wounded
fancie
,
that
he
thought
report
a
partiall
spreader
of
her
praises
,
and
fame
too
base
to
talke
of
such
formes
.
Samela
espying
this
faire
shepheard
so
farre
ouer-gone
in
his
gazing
,
stept
to
him
,
and
askt
him
if
he
knew
her
that
hee
so●…uerlookt
her
.
Pardon
me
●…ire
shepheardesse
(
quoth
Pleusidippus
)
if
it
be
a
fault
,
for
I
cannot
chuse
being
Eagle
sighted
but
gaze
on
the
Su●…e
the
first
time
I
sée
it
.
And
truely
I
cannot
chuse
but
compare
you
to
one
of
Aesops
Apes
,
that
finding
a
Glowor
me
in
the
night
,
●…ke
it
for
fire
;
and
you
séeing
a
face
full
of
deformities
,
mistake
it
for
the
Sunne
.
Indeede
it
maye
be
mine
eyes
made
opposite
to
such
an
obiect
may
faile
in
their
office
,
hauing
their
lights
rebated
by
such
brightnesse
.
Nay
not
vnlike
quoth
Samela
,
for
els
out
of
doubt
you
would
see
your
way
better
.
Why
quoth
Pleusidippus
I
cannot
go
out
of
the
way
,
when
I
meete
such
glistering
Goddesses
in
my
way
.
How
now
si●…
Paris
,
are
you
〈◊〉
of
your
Arithmeticke
,
I
thinke
you
haue
lost
your
witts
with
your
eyes
,
that
mistake
Arcadie
for
Ida
,
and
a
Shepheardesse
for
a
Goddes
.
How
euer
it
please
you
(
quoth
Pleusidippus
)
to
derogate
from
my
prowesse
by
the
title
of
Paris
,
know
that
I
am
not
so
farre
out
of
my
Arithmetick
,
but
that
by
Multiplication
I
can
make
two
of
one
,
in
an
houres
warning
,
or
bee
as
good
as
a
cypher
to
fill
vp
a
place
at
the
worst
hand
;
for
my
wit
sufficeth
be
it
neuer
so
simple
to
proue
both
re
and
voce
that
there
can
be
no
vacuum
in
rerum
natura
,
and
mine
eyes
(
or
else
they
deceiue
me
)
will
enter
so
farre
in
arte
,
as
niger
est
contrarius
albo
,
and
teach
mee
how
to
discerne
twixt
blacke
and
white
.
Much
other
circumstaunce
of
prattle
passed
betweene
them
,
which
the
Arcadian
Records
〈◊〉
not
shew
,
nor
I
remember
;
sufficeth
be
pleaded
loue
,
and
was
repulst
:
which
drout
him
into
such
a
cholar
,
that
méeting
his
supposed
shepheard
,
(
who
lying
vnder
a
bush
,
had
all
〈◊〉
while
●…uer
heard
them
)
he
entred
into
such
termes
of
indignation
,
as
Ioue
shaking
his
earthquaking
haire
,
when
he
〈◊〉
in
consultation
of
Licaon
.
Wherefor●…
Democles
〈◊〉
Pleus●…dippus
repulst
,
who
was
euery
way
gracd●…
with
the
ornaments
of
Nature
,
began
to
cast
his
bad
peniworths
,
in
whose
face
age
had
furrowed
her
wrinckles
;
except
hee
should
lay
his
cro●…
at
her
feete
,
and
●…ell
her
he
was
King
of
Aread●…
;
which
in
Common
wealths
respectes
,
séeming
not
co●…dious
,
he
thought
to
turne
a
new
leafe
,
and
make
this
●…ng
shepheard
the
meanes
to
perfect
his
purpose
.
Hee
had
not
farre
from
that
place
a
strong
Castle
,
which
was
inhabited
as
then
by
none
but
〈◊〉
and
heardgroomes
:
thether
did
he
persw●…
Pleusidippus
to
carrie
he●…
persorce
,
&
effect
that
by
〈◊〉
,
that
he
could
not
〈◊〉
by
intreatie
;
who
li●…ning
not
a
little
to
this
counsaile
,
that
was
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
for
his
aduantage
,
preseutly
put
in
practise
what
he
of
late
gaue
in
precepts
,
and
waiting
till
the
euening
that
Samel●…
should
fold
hir
sheep
,
hauing
giuen
his
men
the
watch
word
,
maugre
al
the
shepheards
adioyning
he
mounted
her
behind
him
;
and
being
by
Democles
directed
to
the
Castle
,
he
made
such
hauocke
among
the
stubborne
heardsmen
,
that
wil
they
nill
they
,
he
was
Lord
of
the
Castle
.
Yet
might
not
all
this
preuaile
with
Samela
,
who
constant
to
her
olde
shephearde
,
would
not
interteine
anie
new
loue
;
which
made
Pleusidippus
thinke
all
his
haruest
lost
in
the
reaping
,
and
blemisht
al
his
delights
with
a
mournful
drooping
.
But
Democles
that
lookt
for
a
mountaine
of
golde
in
a
Mole
hill
,
finding
her
all
alone
,
began
to
discourse
his
loue
in
more
ample
mauner
than
euer
Pleusidippus
,
telling
her
how
he
was
a
King
,
what
his
reuenewes
were
,
what
power
he
had
to
aduance
her
;
with
many
other
proud
vaunts
of
his
wealth
,
and
prodigal
termes
of
his
treasure
.
Samela
hearing
the
name
of
a
King
,
&
perceiuing
him
to
be
hir
Father
,
stoode
amazed
like
Medusaes
Metamorphosis
,
and
blushing
oft
with
intermingled
sighes
,
began
to
thinke
how
iniurious
fortune
was
to
her
showen
in
such
an
incestuous
father
.
But
he
hot
spurred
in
his
purpose
,
gaue
hir
no
time
to
deliberate
,
but
required
either
a
quicke
consent
,
or
a
present
deniall
.
She
tolde
him
,
that
the
Shepheard
Melicertus
was
alreadie
intitled
in
the
interest
of
hir
beautie
,
wherefore
it
was
in
vain
what
he
or
anie
other
could
plead
in
the
way
of
perswasion
.
He
thereupon
entring
into
a
large
field
of
the
basenesse
of
Shepheards
,
and
royalties
of
Kings
,
with
manie
other
assembled
arguments
of
〈◊〉
,
that
would
haue
fetcht
Venus
from
her
sphere
to
disport
:
but
Samela
whose
mouth
could
disgest
no
other
meate
saue
onely
hir
sweete
Melicertus
,
ashamed
so
long
to
〈◊〉
p●…ley
with
her
father
about
such
a
matter
,
flung
a
way
to
her
withdrawing
chamber
in
a
dissembled
rage
,
and
there
after
her
〈◊〉
manner
be
wailed
her
mi●…ortunes
.
Democles
plunged
thus
in
a
Laborinth
of
restles
passions
,
séeing
Melicertus
figure
was
so
déepely
printed
in
the
center
of
her
thoughts
,
as
neither
the
resolution
of
his
fancie
,
his
Metamorphosis
from
a
King
to
a
traueler
,
Crownes
,
Kingdomes
,
preferments
,
(
battries
that
soone
ouerthrowe
the
fortresse
of
womens
〈◊〉
)
when
Democles
I
saye
,
saw
that
none
of
these
colde
remooue
Samela
;
hearing
that
the
Arcadian
shepheardes
were
in
an
vprore
for
the
losse
of
their
beautiful
shepheardesse
,
his
hot
loue
changing
to
a
bird
of
coye
disdaine
;
he
intended
by
some
reuenge
,
either
to
òbtaine
his
loue
,
or
satisfie
his
hate
:
whereupon
throughly
resolued
,
he
stole
away
secretly
in
his
shepheards
apparaile
,
&
got
him
down
to
the
Plaines
;
where
he
found
all
the
swains
in
a
mutinie
about
the
recouerie
of
their
beautifull
Paragon
.
Democles
stepping
amongst
the
route
,
demanded
the
cause
of
their
controuersie
.
Marie
sir
quoth
Doron
bluntly
,
the
flower
of
all
our
garland
is
gone
.
How
meane
you
that
sir
,
quoth
he
:
We
had
answered
Doron
,
an
Eaw
amongst
ou●…
Ramms
,
whose
fleece
was
as
white
as
the
haires
that
grow
on
father
Boreas
thinne
,
or
as
the
dangling
deawlap
of
the
siluer
Bull
,
her
front
curled
like
to
the
Erimanthian
Boare
,
and
spangled
like
the
woosted
stockings
of
Saturne
,
her
face
like
Mars
treading
vpon
the
milke
white
cloudes
:
beleeue
me
shepheard
,
her
eyes
were
like
the
fierie
torches
tilting
against
the
Moone
:
this
paragon
,
this
none
such
,
this
Eaw
,
this
Mistres
of
our
flockes
,
was
by
a
wily
Foxe
stolne
fro●…
our
foldes
;
for
which
these
shepheards
assemble
themselues
,
to
recouer
so
wealthie
a
prize
.
What
is
he
quoth
Menaphon
that
Doron
is
in
such
debate
with
?
Fellowe
canst
thou
tell
vs
anie
newes
of
the
faire
shepheardesse
,
that
the
Knight
of
Thessaly
hath
carried
away
from
her
fellow
Nymphes
.
Democles
thinking
to
take
opportunitie
by
the
forhead
:
and
seeing
Time
had
feathred
his
bolte
,
willing
to
assaye
as
hee
might
to
hit
the
marke
,
began
thus
.
Shepheardes
,
you
see
my
profession
is
your
trade
,
and
although
my
wandring
fortunes
be
not
like
your
home
borne
fauours
;
yet
were
I
in
the
groues
of
Thessalian
Tempe
,
as
I
am
in
the
plaines
of
Arcadie
,
the
swaines
would
giue
mee
as
manie
due
honors
,
as
they
present
you
here
with
submisse
reuerence
.
Beautie
that
drew
Apollo
from

to

the
shepheard
,
that
fetcht
Ioue
from

to

the

of
such

I

the
fame
of
your
fair●…
Samela
,
bouering
in
the
eares
of
euerie
man
as
a
miracle
of
nature
,
brought
me
from
Thessaly
to
féede
mine
eyes
with
Arcadies
wonder
:
stepping
alongst
the
shoare
to
come
to
same
sheepcoate
where
my
wearie
limmes
might
haue
rest
,
Loue
that
for
my
labors
thought
to
lead
me
to
fancies
pauilion
,
was
my
conduct
to
a
castle
,
where
a
Thessalian
knight
lyes
in
holde
,
the
Portcullis
was
let
downe
,
the
bridge
drawen
,
the
Court
of
garde
kept
,
thether
I
went
;
and
for
by
my
tongue
I
was
known
to
be
a
Thessalian
,
I
was
enterteined
and
lodged
:
the
Knight
whose
yeares
are
young
,
and
valure
matchlesse
,
holding
in
his
armes
a
Ladie
more
beautifull
than
Loues
Queene
,
all
blubbered
with
teares
,
asked
me
manie
questions
,
which
as
I
might
I
replide
vnto
:
but
while
he
talkt
,
mine
eye
surfetting
with
such
excellence
,
was
detained
vpon
the
glorious
shew
of
such
a
wonderfull
obiect
;
I
demanded
what
she
was
of
the
standers
by
,
&
they
said
she
was
the
faire
shepheardesse
whome
the
Knight
had
taken
from
the
swaines
of
Arcadie
,
and
woulde
carrie
with
the
first
winde
that
serued
into
Thessaly
:
This
shepheards
I
knowe
,
and
grieue
that
thus
your
Ioues
should
be
ouermatcht
with
Fortune
,
and
your
affections
pulde
backe
by
contrarietie
of
Destinie
.
Melicertus
hearing
this
,
the
fire
sparkling
out
of
his
eyes
began
thus
;
I
tell
thee
shephearde
,
if
Fates
with
their
forepointing
pencels
did
pen
down
,
or
Fortune
with
her
deepest
varietie
resolue
,
or
Loue
with
his
greatest
power
determine
to
depriue
Arcadie
of
the
beautifull
Samela
,
we
would
with
our
blood
signe
downe
such
spels
on
the
Plaines
,
that
either
our
Gods
should
summon
her
to
Elizium
,
or
shee
〈◊〉
wi●…h
vs
quiet
&
fortunate
:
thou
seest
the
shepheardes
are
vp
in
armes
to
reuenge
,
onely
it
rests
who
shall
haue
the
honour
and
principalitie
of
the
field
.
What
needs
that
question
quoth
Menaphon
,
am
not
I
the
Kings
shepheard
,
and
chiefe
of
all
the
bordering
swaines
of
Arcadie
.
I
grant
quoth
Melicertus
,
but
am
not
I
a
Gentleman
,
though
tirde
in
shepheardes
skincoate
;
superiour
to
thee
in
birth
,
though
equall
nowe
in
profession
.
Well
from
words
they
had
falne
to
blowes
,
had
not
the
shepheards
parted
them
;
and
for
the
auoyding
of
farther
troubles
,
it
was
agreed
that
they
should
in
two
Eclogs
make
description
of
their
loue
,
and
Democles
,
for
he
was
a
stranger
,
to
sit
Censor
,
and
who
best
could
decipher
his
Mistres
perfection
,
should
be
made
Generall
of
the
rest
.
Menaphon
and
Melicertus
condes●…uded
to
this
motion
,
&
Democles
sitting
as
Iudge
,
the
rest
of
the
shepheards
standing
as
witnesses
of
this
combat
Menaphon
began
thus
.
Menaphons
Eclogue
.
Too
weake
the
wit
,
too
slender
is
the
braine
That
meanes
to
marke
the
power
and
worth
of
loue
;
Not
one
that
liues
(
except
he
hap
to
proue
)
Can
tell
the
sweete
,
or
tell
the
secret
paine
.
Yet
I
that
haue
been
prentice
to
the
griefe
,
Like
to
the
cunning
sea-man
from
a
farre
,
By
gesse
will
talke
the
beautie
of
that
starre
,
Whose
influence
must
yeeld

reliefe

You

of
the
glorie
of
my
deare
,
With
reuerence
and
lowlie
bent
of

,
Attend
and
marke
what
her
perfections
bee
:
For
in
my
words
my

shall
appeare
.
Hir

Apollo
when

And
said

I

Whose

when

From
foorth
the

The

On

When

Both

When

From

hir

And
when

wakt
they
were
my
Mistres
breasts
.
Once
Cupide
sought
a

〈◊〉
his
kisses
,
And
found
the
bodie
of
my
best

Wherein

And
from

I

no

Your

I
speake

canceale

My

As
soone
as
Melice●…
had
ended
this
Eclogue
,
they
expected
the
doome
of
Democles
,
who
hearing
the
sweete
description
,
wherein
Melicertus
described
his
Mistres
,
wondered
that
such
rare
conceipts
could
bee
harboured
vnder
a
she
pheards
gray
cloathing
,
at
last
he
made
this
aunswere
.
Arcadian
Swaines
,
whose
wealth
is
content
,
whose
labours
are
tempred
with
sweete
loues
,
whose
mindes
àspyre
not
,
whose
thoughts
brooke
no
enuie
;
onely
as
r●…ualls
in
affection
,
you
are
friendly
emulators
in
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
:
sith
fortune
(
as
enemie
to
your
quiet
)
hath
rest
you
of
your
fayre
shepheardesse
,
(
the
worlds
wonder
,
and
Arcadies
miracle
)
&
one
of
you
as
champion
must
lead
the
rest
to
reuenge
,
both
desirous
to
shew
your
val●…ur
as
your
forwardnesse
in
affections
,
and
yet
(
as
I
said
)
〈◊〉
to
be
sole
chiestaine
of
the
traine
,
I
award
to
Mclicert
us
that
honor
(
as
to
him
that
hath
most
curiously
portrayed
out
his
Mistres
excellencie
)
to
bente
the
sole
rule
and
supremacie
.
At
this
Menaphon
grudged
,
and
Melicertus
was
in
an
extasie
for
ioy
;
so
that
gathering
all
his
forces
together
of
stone
headstrong
clownes
,
amounting
to
the
number
of
some
two
hundred
,
he
apparailed
himselfe
in
armour
,
colour
sables
,
as
mourning
for
his
Mistres
,
in
his
shield
he
had
figured
the
waues
of
the
sea
,
Venus
sitting
on
them
in
the
height
of
all
her
pride
.
Thus
marched
Melicertus
forward
with
olde
Democles
the
supposed
shepheard
till
they
came
to
the
castle
,
where
Pleusidippus
and
his
faire
Samela
were
resident
.
As
soone
as
they
came
there
,
Melicertus
begirt
the
Castle
with
such
a
siege
,
as
so
manie
shéeyish
Caualiers
could
furnish
:
which
when
he
had
done
,
summoning
them
in
the
Castle
to
parley
,
the
yong
Knight
stept
vpon
the
walls
,
and
seeing
such
a
crue
of
base
companions
,
with
Jackets
and
rustie
bills
on
their
backs
,
fell
into
a
great
laughter
,
and
began
to
taunt
them
thus
.
Why
,
what
straunge
Metamorphosis
is
this
?
Are
the
Plaines
of
Arcadie
,
whilome
filled
with
labourers
,
now
ouerlaide
with
launces
?
Are
sheepe
transformed
into
men
,
swaines
into
souldiers
,
and
a
wandring
companie
of
poore
shepheards
,
into
a
worthie
troope
of
resolute
champions
:
No
doubt
,
either
Pan
meanes
to
playe
the
God
of
warre
,
or
else
these
be
but
such
men
as
rose
of
the
téeth
of
Cadmus
.
Nowe
I
see
the
beginning
of
your
warres
,
and
the
pretended
ende
of
your
stratagems
:
the
shepheards
haue
a
m●…dding
humor
like
the
Greekes
to
seek
for
the
recouerie
of
Helena
;
so
you
for
the
regaining
of
your
faire
Samela
.
Heere
she
is
Shepheards
,
and
I
a
Priam
to
defende
hit
with
resistance
of
a
ten
yeares
siege
;
yet
for
I
were
loath
to
haue
my
Castle
sack●…
〈◊〉
Troy
,
I
pray
you
tell
me
which
is
Agamemnon
?
Melicertus
hearing
the
youth
speake
thus
proudly
,
ha●…
the
sparkes
of
honor
fresh
vnder
the
cinders
of
pouer●…
,
〈◊〉
with
loue
and
valor
(
two
things
to
animate
the
most
〈◊〉
Thersites
to
enter
combate
against
Hcrcules
)
answered
thus
.
Unknowen
yongster
of
Thessaly
,
if
the
feare
of
thy
hardie
deedes
,
were
like
the
Diapason
of
thy
threates
,
wee
woulde
thinke
the
Castle
of
longer
stege
,
than
either
our
ages
would
permit
,
or
out

aduenture
:
but
where
the
shelfe
is
most
shallowe
,
there
the
water
breakes
most
high
;
emptie

haue
the
highest
sounds
,
bollowe
rockes
the
loudest
ecchoes
,
and
prat●…ing
gloriosers
,
the
smallest
performaunce
of
courage
;
for
proofe
whereof
,
séeing
thou
hast
made
a
rape
of
faire
Samela
,
one
of
her
vowed
Shepheards
is
come
for
the
safetie
of
hir
sweete
selfe
to
challenge
thée
〈◊〉
single
combat
;
if
thou
ouercome
me
,
thou
shalt
freelie
passe
with
the
shepheardesse
to
Thessaly
;
if
I
vanquish
thée
,
thou
shalt
féele
the
vurthen
of
thy
rashnesse
,
and
Samela
the
swéetuesse
of
her
libertie
.
Pleusidippus
meruailed
at
the
resolution
of
the
shepheard
;
but
when
Democles
heard
how
if
hee
wonne
,
she
should
be
transported
into
Thessaly
,
a
world
of
sorowes
tombled
in
his
discontented
braine
,
that
he
hammered
in
his
head
many
meanes
to
stay
the
faire
Samela
;
for
when
Pleusidippus
in
a
great
choller
was
readie
to
throwe
downe
his
gantlet
,
and
to
accept
of
the
combat
.
Damocles
stepped
vp
and
spoke
thus
:
Worthie
mirrors
of
resolued
magnanimitie
,
whose
thoughts
are
aboue
your
fortunes
,
&
whose
valour
more
than
your
reuenewes
,
knowe
that
Bitches
that
puppie
in
hast
bring
foorth
blind
whelpes
;
that
there
is
no
herbe
sooner
sprong
vp
than
the
Spattarmia
,
nor
sooner
fadeth
;
that
fruits
too
soone
riye
are
quickly
rotten
;
that
dée●…es
done
in
hast
are
repented
at
leisure
:
then
braue
men
in
so
weightie
a
cause
,
and
for
the
conquest
of
so
excellent
a
Paragon
,
let
not
one
minute
begin
and
end
the
quarrell
,
but
like
Fabius
of
Rome
vse
delay
in
such
dangerous
exploytes
,
when
honor
fits
on
wreaths
of
Lawrell
to
giue
the
vistor
his
garland
:
deferre
it
some
three
daies
,
and
then
in
solemne
manner
end
the
combat
.
To
this
good
motion
not
onely
Pleusidippus
and
Melicertus
agreed
,
but
all
the
companis
were
consenting
,
and
vpon
pledges
of
truce
being
giuen
,
they
rested
.
But
Democles
seeing
in
couerte
be
could
not
conquer
,
and
that
in
despairing
loues
,
secrecie
was
no
〈◊〉
,
he
dispatched
letters
to
the
Nobilitie
of
his
court
,
with
straight
charge
that
they
should
bee
in
that
place
within
thr●…
dayes
with
tenne
thousand
strong
.
This
newes
no
soouer
came
to
the
Generall
of
his
Forces
,
but
leuying
so
many
approued
souldiers
,
he
marched
secretly
by
night
to
the
place
Democles
in
his
letters
had
prescribed
;
and
there
〈◊〉
interteined
by
the
King
,
they
were
placde
in
ambush
readie
when
the
signall
should
be
giuento
issue
out
of
the
place
,
and
performe
their
Souereignes
command
.
Well
,
the
third
day
being
come
,
no
sooner
did
Titan
arise
from
the
watrie
Couche
of
his
Lemman
,
but
these
two
champions
were
readie
in
the
listes
,
accompanied
with
the
route
of
all
the
Arcadian
shepheards
,
and
olde
Democles
whom
they
had
appoynted
for
one
of
the
Judges
.
Pleusidippus
seeing
Melicertus
abuance
on
his
shield
the
waues
of
the
sea
with
a
Venus
sitting
vppon
them
,
〈◊〉
what
the
shepheard
should
be
that
gaue
his
armes
,
&
Melicertus
was
as
much
amazed
to
see
a
strange
Thessalian
Knight
vant
his
armes
without
difference
;
yet
being
so
fraught
with
direfull
reuenge
,
as
they
scorned
to
salute
each
other
so
much
as
with
threates
,
they
fell
toughly
to
blowes
.
Samela
standing
on
top
of
the
turret
,
and
viewing
the
combate
;
the
poore
Ladie
grieuing
that
for
her
cause
such
a
stratageme
should
arise
in
Arcadie
,
her
countenance
ful
of
sorrow
,
and
flonds
of
teares
falling
from
her
eyes
,
she
began
to
breath
out
this
passion
.
Unfortunate
Samela
born
to
mishaps
,
and
forepointed
to
〈◊〉
fortunes
,
whose
bloomes
were
ripened
by
mischance
,
and
whose
fruite
is
like
to
wither
with
despaire
;
in
thy
youth
sate
discoutent
pruning
her selfe
on
thy
forhead
,
now
in
thine
age
sorrow
hides
her selfe
amongst
the
wrinckles
of
thy
face
:
thus
art
thou
infortunate
in
thy
Prime
,
and
crossed
with
contrarie
accidents
in
thy
Autwnne
;
as
haplesse
as
Helena
to
haue
the
burden
of
wartes
laid
on
the
wings
of
thy
beautie
.
And
who
must
be
the
champion
?
whose
sword
must
pearce
the
helme
of
thine
enemie
?
whose
bloud
must
purchase
the
freedome
of
Samela
,
but
Melicertus
?
If
he
conquer
,
then
Samela
triumphs
,
as
if
she
had
been
chiefe
victor
in
the
Olympiades
;
if
he
loose
,
euerie
drop
falling
from
his
wounds
into
the
center
of
my
thoughts
,
as
his
death
to
him
,
so
shall
it
be
come
the
ende
of
my
loues
.
my
life
,
and
my
libertie
.
As
still
shee
was
about
to
goe
forwarde
in
hir
passion
,
the
trumpet
sounded
and
they
fell
to
fight
in
such
furious
sorte
,
as
the
Arcadians
and
Democles
himselfe
wondered
to
see
the
courage
of
the
Shepheard
,
that
tied
the
Knight
to
such
a
sore
taske
.
Pleusidippus
likewise
feeling
an
extraordinarie
kinde
of
force
,
and
seeing
with
what
courage
the
Knight
of
the
shepheards
fought
,
beganne
to
coniecture
diuersly
of
the
〈◊〉
,
and
to
feare
the
euent
of
the
combate
.
On
the
contrarie
parte
,
Melicertus
halfe
wearied
with
the
heauie
blowes
of
Pleusidippus
,
stoode
in
a
maze
howe
so
yong
a
wagge
should
be
so
expert
in
his
weapon
.
Thus
debating
diuersly
in
their
seueral
thoughts
,
at
length
being
both
wearie
,
they
stepte
backe
,
and
leaning
on
their
swordes
tooke
breath
,
gazing
each
vpon
other
.
At
last
Pleusidippus
burst
into
these
speaches
.
Shepheard
in
life
,
though
now
a
Gentleman
in
armour
,
if
thy
degrée
be
better
,
I
glorie
I
am
not
disgracde
with
the
combate
:
tell
me
,
how
darest
thou
so
farre
wrong
mee
,
as
to
wea●…
mine
Armes
vpon
thy
shield
:
Princockes
(
quoth
Melicertus
)
thou
liest
,
they
bee
mine
owne
,
and
thou
contrarie
to
the
Lawe
of
Armes
bearest
my
Creast
without
difference
,
in
which
quarrell
,
seeing
it
concernes
mine
honour
,
I
will
reuenge
it
as
farre
as
my
loues
;
and
with
that
he
gaue
such
a
charging
blowe
at
Pleusidippus
healme
,
that
hee
had
almost
ouerturned
him
:
Pleusidippus
〈◊〉
not
the
blowe
vnrequitted
,
but
doubled
his
force
;
insomuch
that
the
hazard
of
the
battaile
was
doubtfull
,
and
both
of
them
were
faine
to
take
breath
againe
.
Democles
seeing
his
time
,
that
both
of
them
were
sore
weakened
,
gaue
the
watchword
,
and
the
ambush
leapt
out
,
slaughtered
manie
of
the
shepheards
,
put
the
rest
to
flight
,
tooke
the
two
champions
prisoners
,
and
sacking
the
Castle
,
carried
them
and
the
faire
Samela
to
his
Court
:
letting
the
Shepheardesse
haue
her
libertie
,
but
putting
Melicertus
and
Pleusidippus
into
a
deepe
and
darke
dungeon
.
Where
leauing
these
passionate
Louers
in
this
Catastrophe
,
againe
to
Doron
the
homely
blunt
Shephearde
;
who
hauing
been
long
enamoured
of
Carmela
,
much
good
wooing
past
betwixte
them
,
and
yet
little
speeding
;
at
last
,
both
of
them
met
hard
by
the
Promontorie
of
Arcadie
,
shee
leading
foorth
her
Sheepe
,
and
hee
going
to
see
his
newe
yeand
Lambes
.
As
soone
as
they
met
,
breaking
a
few
quarter
blowes
with
such
countrey
glaunces
as
they
coulde
,
they
geerde
one
at
another
louingly
.
At
last
Doron
manfully
begun
thus
.
Carmela
by
my
troth
God
morrow
,
t
is
as
daintie
to
see
you
abroad
,
as
to
eate
à
messe
of
sweete
milke
in
July
:
you
are
proude
such
a
house
doue
of
late
,
or
rather
so
good
a
Huswife
,
that
no
man
may
see
you
vnder
a
couple
of
Capons
;
the
Church-yeard
may
stand
long
inough
●…re
you
will
come
to
looke
on
it
,
and
the
Piper
may
begge
for
euerie
pennie
he
gets
out
of
your
pursse
:
but
it
is
no
matter
,
you
are
in
loue
with
some
stout
Ruffler
,
and
yet
poore
folkes
,
such
a
I
am
,
must
be
content
with
porredge
:
and
with
that
,
turning
his
backe
,
he
smiled
in
his
sleeue
to
sée
howe
kindely
hee
had
giuen
her
the
bobbe
:
which
Carmela
seeing
,
she
thought
to
be
euen
with
him
thus
.
Indéede
Doron
you
saye
well
,
it
is
long
since
wee
met
,
and
our
house
is
a
Grange
house
with
you
:
but
we
haue
tyed
vp
the
great
Dogge
,
and
when
you
come
you
shall
haue
greene
rushes
you
are
such
a
straunger
:
but
t
is
no
matter
;
soone
hot
soone
colde
,
hee
that
mingles
himselfe
with
draffe
,
the
●…ogges
will
eate
him
:
and
she
that
layes
her
loue
on
an
vnkinde
man
,
shall
finde
sorrowe
inough
to
eate
hir
soppes
withall
.
And
with
that
Carmela
was
so
full
stomackt
that
she
wept
.
Doron
to
shewe
himselfe
a
naturall
young
man
,
gaue
her
a
few
kinde
kisses
to
comfort
her
,
and
sware
that
she
was
the
woman
he
loued
best
in
the
whole
worlde
,
and
for
proofe
quoth
he
,
thou
shalt
heare
what
I
will
praise
:
and
you
quoth
she
,
what
I
will
performe
.
●…nd
so
taking
hand
in
hand
,
they
kindly
sate
them
downe
,
and
began
to
discourse
their
loues
in
these
Eclogues
.
Dorons
Eclogue
ioynd
with
Carmelas
.
Sit

Slowes

Thine

The

Like

Thy

Like

Carmela

Where

Doron

In

I

But

Ay

Heigh

Thus
ended
this
merrie
Eclogue
betwixte
Doron
and
Carmela
:
which
Gentlemen
if
it
be
stufft
with
pretie
Similes
and
farre
fetcht
〈◊〉
;
thinke
the
poore
Countrey
Louers
knewe
no
further
comparisons
,
than
came
within
compasse
of
their
Countrey
〈◊〉
.
Well
,
〈◊〉
a
good
worlde
when
such
simplicitie
was
vsed
,
sayes
the
olde
women
of
our
time
,
when
a
ring
of
a
rush
woulde
tye
as
much
Loue
together
as
a
〈◊〉
of
golde
:
but
Gentlemen
since
wee
haue
talkte
of
Loue
so
long
,
you
shall
giue
me
leaue
to
shewe
my
opinion
of
that
〈◊〉
fancie
thus
.
Sonetto
.
What
thing
is
Loue
!
It
is
a
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
That
raines
in
vs
:
or
else
a
〈◊〉
law
That
doomes
our
mindes
to
beautie
to
encline
:
It
is
a
starre
whose
influence
dooth
draw
Our
hearts
to
Loue
dissembling
of
his
might
,
Till
he
be
master
of
our
hearts
and
sight
.
Loue
is
a
discord
and
a
strange
diuorce
Betwixt
our
sense
and
reason
,
by
whose
power
As
madde
with
reason
we
admit
that
force
,
Which
wit
or
labour
neuer
may
deuoure
,
It
is
a
will
that
brooketh
no
consent
:
It
would
refuse
,
yet
neuer
may
repent
.
Loue
's
a
desire
,
which
for
to
waite
a
time
,
Dooth
loose
an
age
of
〈◊〉
,
and
so
doth
passe
As
dooth
the
shadow
seuerd
from
his
prime
,
Seeming
as
though
it
were
,
yet
neuer
was
.
Leauing
hehinde
nought
but
repentant
thoughts
Of
daies
ill
spent
,
for
that
which
profits
noughts
.
It
s
now
a
peace
,
and
then
a
sodaine
warre
,
A
hope
consumde
before
it
is
conceiude
,
At
hand
it
feares
,
and
menaceth
a
farre
,
And
he
that
gaines
is
most
of
all
deceiude
:
It
is
a
secret
hidden
and
not
knowne
,
Which
one
may
better
feele
than
write
vpon
.
Thus
Gentlemen
haue
you
heard
my
verdite
in
this
Sonetto
,
now
will
I
returne
to
Doron
and
Carmela
,
who
not
seeing
her
mother
come
,
fell
againe
to
a
few
homely
kisses
,
and
thus
it
was
.
After
they
had
thus
amorously
ended
their
Eclogues
,
they
plighted
faith
and
troth
;
and
Carmela
verie
brisklye
wiping
her
mouth
with
a
white
apron
sealed
it
with
a
kisse
,
which
Doron
taking
merueilous
kindly
,
after
a
little
playing
loath
to
depart
,
they
both
went
about
their
businesse
.
Leauing
them
therefore
to
their
businesse
,
again
to
Democles
;
who
seeing
no
intreaties
would
serue
to
perswade
Samela
to
loue
,
neither
the
hope
of
the
Arcadian
Crowne
,
nor
the
title
of
a
Queene
,
lastly
assayed
with
frownes
and
threates
,
but
all
in
vaine
:
for
Samela
first
restrained
by
nature
in
that
he
was
her
Father
,
and
secondly
by
loue
in
that
Melicertus
lay
imprisoned
onely
for
her
sake
,
stoode
still
so
stiffe
to
her
tackling
,
that
Democles
chaunging
loue
into
hate
,
resolued
to
reuenge
that
with
death
,
which
no
meanes
els
might
satisfie
:
so
that
to
colour
his
frauds
withall
,
he
gaue
Samela
free
license
to
visite
Melicertus
:
which
she
had
not
long
done
,
but
that
by
the
instigation
of
the
old
King
,
the
gailor
confederate
to
his
treacherie
,
accuseth
her
of
adultetie
:
whervpon
without
further
witnesse
they
both
were
contemned
to
dye
.
These
two
louers
knowing
themselues
guiltlesse
in
this
surmised
faction
,
were
ioyfull
to
ende
their
loues
with
their
liues
,
and
so
to
conclude
all
in
a
fatall
and
finall
content
of
mindes
and
passions
.
But
Democles
set
free
Pleusidippus
,
as
afraide
the
King
of
Thessaly
would
reuenge
the
wrong
of
his
Knight
,
intertaining
him
with
sumptuous
banquets
,
as
befitted
so
braue
and
worthie
a
Gentleman
.
The
day
came
prefixed
wherein
these
parties
should
die
;
Samela
was
so
desirous
to
end
her
life
with
her
friend
,
that
she
would
not
reueale
either
vnto
Democles
or
Melicertus
what
she
was
;
and
Melicertus
rather
chose
to
die
with
his
Samela
,
than
once
to
name
himself
Maximius
.
Both
thus
resolued
,
were
brought
to
the
place
of
execution
;
and●…
Pleusidippus
sitting
on
a
scaffolde
with
Democles
,
séeing
Samela
come
forth
like
the
blush
of
the
morning
,
felt
an
vncouth
passion
in
his
mind
,
and
nature
began
to
enter
combate
with
his
thoughtes
;
not
loue
but
reuerence
,
not
fancie
but
feare
began
to
assaile
him
,
that
he
turnd
to
the
King
,
and
sayd
:
Is
it
not
pitie
Democles
,
such
diuine
beautie
should
be
wrapt
in
cinders
:
No
quoth
Democles
,
where
the
anger
of
a
King
must
be
satisfied
.
At
this
answere
Pleusidippus
wrapt
his
face
in
his
cloake
and
wept
,
and
all
the
assistants
grieued
to
see
so
faire
a
creature
subiect
to
the
violent
rage
of
fortune
.
Well
Democles
commaunded
the
deaths-man
to
doo
his
deuoyre
;
who
knéeling
downe
and
crauing
pardon
,
readie
to
giue
Melicertus
the
fatall
stroake
,
there
slept
out
an
olde
woman
attired
like
a
Prophetesse
,
who
cried
out
;
Uillaine
hold
thy
hand
,
thou
wrongest
the
daughter
of
a
King
.
Democles
hearing
the
outcrie
,
and
seeing
that
at
that
word
the
people
begun
to
mutinie
and
murmur
,
demanded
the
olde
woman
what
she
meant
:
Now
quoth
she
,
Democles
is
the
Delphian
〈◊〉
performed
;
Neptune
hath
yéelded
〈◊〉
the
worlds
wonder
,
and
that
is
young
Pleusidippus
nephew
to
thée
,
and
sonne
to
faire
Sephestia
,
who
heere
standeth
vnder
the
name
of
Samela
,
cast
vpon
the
Promontorie
of
Arcadie
with
her
yong
sonne
,
where
shee
as
a
shepheardesse
hath
liude
in
labours
tempred
with
loues
;
her
〈◊〉
playing
on
the
shore
,
was
conueyed
by
certaine
Pirates
into
Thessaly
,
where
(
when
as
he
was
supposed
euerie
waye
to
be
dead
)
doing
déedes
of
chiualrie
,
he
fulfilled
the
prophecie
:
your
highnesse
giuing
the
Lyon
,
were
guid
vnto
the
lambs
in
dissembling
your selfe
a
shepheard
:
planets
resting
vpon
the
hills
,
was
the
picture
of
Venus
vpon
their
crests
:
&
the
seas
that
had
neither
ebbe
nor
tide
,
was
the
combate
twixte
the
father
and
the
sonne
,
that
gaue
the
waues
of
the
seas
in
their
shields
,
not
able
to
vanquish
one
another
,
but
parting
with
equall
victorie
.
For
know
Democles
this
Melicertus
is
Maximius
,
twice
〈◊〉
to
Sephestia
,
and
Father
to
yong
Pleusidippus
:
nowe
therefore
the
Oracle
fulfilled
,
is
the
happie
time
wherein
Arcadie
shal
rest
in
peace
.
At
this
,
the
people
gaue
a
great
shout
,
and
the
olde
woman
vanisht
.
Democles
as
a
man
rauisht
with
an
extasie
of
sodaine
ioye
,
sate
still
,
and
stared
on
the
face
of
Sephestia
:
Pleusidippus
in
all
dutie
leapt
from
his
seate
,
and
went
and
couered
his
mother
with
his
〈◊〉
,
crauing
pardon
for
the
fondnesse
of
his
incestuous
affection
:
&
knéeling
at
his
fathers
feete
submisse
in
that
he
had
drawen
his
sword
,
&
sought
his
life
that
first
in
this
world
gaue
him
life
.
Maximius
first
looked
on
his
wife
,
and
seeing
by
the
line
aments
of
her
face
that
it
was
Sephestia
,
fell
about
her
necke
,
and
both
of
them
weping
in
the
bosome
of
their
sonne
shed
teares
for
ioye
to
see
him
so
braue
a
Gentleman
.
Democles
all
this
while
sitting
in
a
trance
,
at
last
calling
his
senses
together
,
séeing
his
daughter
reuiued
,
whom
so
cruelly
for
the
loue
of
Maximius
he
had
〈◊〉
out
his
confines
,
Maximius
in
〈◊〉
,
and
the
childe
a
matchles
paragon
of
approued
chiualrie
,
he
leapt
from
his
seate
,
and
imbraced
them
all
with
teares
,
crauing
pardon
of
Maximius
and
Sephestia
:
and
to
shew
that
the
outward
obiect
of
his
watrie
eies
,
had
a
sympathie
with
the
inward
passion
of
his
hart
,
he
impald
the
head
of
his
yong
neuew
Pleusidippus
with
the
crowne
and
diadem
of
Arcadie
:
and
for
that
his
brother
Lamedon
had
in
all
distresse
not
lefte
his
daughter
Sephestia
,
he
toke
the
matter
so
kindly
,
that
he
reconciled
himselfe
vnto
him
,
and
made
him
Duke
in
Arcady
.
The
successe
of
this
forerehearsed
Catastrophe
growing
so
comicall
,
they
all
concluded
after
the
Festiuall
solemnizing
of
the
Coronation
(
which
was
made
famous
with
the
excellent
déedes
of
manie
worthie
Caualiers
)
to
passe
into
Thessaly
,
to
contract
the
mariage
twixt
Pleusidippus
,
&
the
daughter
of
the
Thessalian
King
.
Which
newes
spred
thorough
Arcadie
as
a
wonder
,
that
at
last
it
came
to
Menaphons
eares
;
who
hearing
the
high
parentage
of
his
supposed
Samela
,
seeing
his
passions
were
too
aspiring
,
and
that
with
the
Syrian
wolues
he
barkt
against
the
Moone
,
he
lefte
such
lettice
as
were
too
fine
for
his
lips
,
and
courted
his
old
loue
Pesana
,
to
whom
shortly
after
he
was
married
.
And
le●…t
there
should
be
left
any
thing
vnperfect
in
this
pastorall
accident
,
Doron
smudgde
himselfe
vp
,
and
iumpde
a
marriage
with
his
old
friend
Carmela
.
FINIS
