No
sooner
had
Pithia
deliuered
this
scroll
to
the
Lords
of
Arcadia
,
but
they
departed
and
brought
it
to
Democles
,
who
causing
the
Oracle
to
bee
read
amongst
the
distressed
commons
,
found
the
Delphian
censure
more
full
of
doubts
to
amaze
,
then
fraught
with
hope
to
comfort
:
thinking
rather
that
the
anger
of
GOD
sent
a
peremptory
presage
of
ruine
,
then
a
probable
ambiguitie
to
applaud
any
hope
of
remedie
:
yet
loth
to
haue
his
carefull
subiects
fall
into
the
balefull
Labyrinth
of
deshaire
,
Democles
beganne
to
discourse
vnto
them
,
that
the
interpreters
of
Apollos
secrets
were
not
the
conceits
of
humane
reason
,
but
the
successe
of
long
expected
euents
,
that
Comets
did
portend
at
the
first
blaze
,
but
tooke
effect
in
the
dated
bosome
of
the
destinies
:
that
Oracles
were
fortold
at
the
Delphian
caue
,
but
were
shapte
out
and
fluished
in
the
Counsell
house
.
With
such
perswasiue
arguments
Democles
appealed
the
distressed
thoughts
of
his
doubtfull
Countrey-men
,
and
commanded
by
Proclamation
,
that
no
man
should
pry
into
the
quiddities
of
Apollo
▪
answere
,
lest
sundry
censures
of
his
diuine
secrecy
should
trouble
Arcadia
with
some
sudden
●●tinie
.
The
King
thus
smoothing
the
beate
of
his
cares
,
rested
a
melancholy
man
in
his
Court
:
hiding
vnder
his
head
the
double-faced
figure
of
Ianus
,
as
well
to
〈◊〉
the
Skies
of
other
mens
conceits
with
smiles
,
as
to
furnish
out
his
owne
dumps
with
thoughts
.
But
as
other
beastes
leuell
their
lookes
at
the
countenance
of
the
Lyon
,
and
birds
make
wings
as
the
Eagles
flye
:
so
Regis
ad
arbitrium
totus
componitur
orbis
:
the
people
were
measured
by
the
minde
of
their
Soueraigne
:
and
what
stormes
soeuer
they
smoothered
in
priuate
conceite
,
yet
they
made
hay
,
and
cryed
holiday
in
outward
appearance
:
insomuch
that
euery
man
repayred
to
his
owne
home
,
and
fell
eyther
vnto
pleasures
or
labours
,
as
their
liuing
or

allowed
them

Whiles
thus

rested

a
silent
quiet
,
Menaphon
the
Kinge
shepheard
,
a
man
of
high
account
among

Swaines

loued

Nimphes

as
the
paragon
of
all

walking
solitary
downe

Menaphon
looking
ouer
the
champion
of
Arcady
,
to
see
if
the
continent
was
as
full
of
smiles
,
as
the
Seas
were
of
fauours
,
saw
the
shrubbes
as
in
a
dreame
with
delightfull
harnwnie
,
and
the
birds
that
chaunted
on
their
branches
,
not
disturbed
with
the

breath
of

fauourable
Zephirus
.
Seeing
thus
the
accord
of
the
land
and
Sea
,
casting
a
fresh
gaze
o●
the
water-Nimphes
,
hee
beganne
to
consider
,
how
Venus
was
faigned
by
the
Poets
to
spring
of
the
froth
of
the
seas
:
which
dra●e
him
straight
into
a
deepe
coniecture
of
the
inconstancie
of
loue
,
that
as
if
Luna
were
his
lead-starre
,
had
euery
〈◊〉
ebbes

tydes
,
sometime
ouer-flowing
the
bankes

Fortune

lightened
from

of
a
fauourable
louer
,
other
whiles
ebbing

the
dangerous
shelfe
of

with
the
piercing
frowne
of

Mistresse

Menaphon
in

browne
studie
,
calling
to
minde
certaine
Aphorismes
that
Auarreon
had
pen●
downe
as
principles
of
loues
follies
,
being
as
deepe
an
enemie
to

,
as
Nar●issus
was

,
beganne
thus
to
scoffe
at
Venus
Deitie
.
Menaphon
,
thy
mindes
fauours
are
greater
than
thy
wealths
fortunes
,
thy
thoughts
higher
than
thy
birth
,
and
thy
priuate
conceit
better
then
thy
publique
esteeme
.
Thou
art
a
shepheard
,
Menaphon
,
who
in
feeding
of
thy
●oike
findest
out
natures
secrecis
,
and
in
●rouenting
thy
lambes
preiudice
,
conceitest
the
astronomicall
motions
of
the
heauens
:
holding
thy
sheepe-walkes
to
yeeld
as
great
Philosophie
,
as
the
ancients
discourse
in
their
learned
Academies
.
Thou
countest
labour
as
the
Indians
doe
their
Chrysocolla
,
wherewith
they
try
euery
mettall
,
and
thou
examine
euery
action
.
Content
sitteth
in
thy
minde
as
Neptune
in
his
Sea-throne
,
who
with
his
trident
mare
appeaseth
euery
storme
.
When
thou
seest
the
heauens
frowne
,
thou
thinkest
on
thy
faults
,
and
a
cleere
skie
putteth
,
thee
in
minde
of
grace
:
the
Summers
glory
tells
thee
of
youths
vanitie
:
the
winters
parched
leaues
,
of
ages
declining
weaknesse
.
Thus
in
a
mirrour
thou
measurest
thy
deeds
with
equall
and
considerate
motions
,
&
by
being
a
Shepheard
findest
that
which
Kings
want
in
their
royalties
.
Enuy

with
the
windes
the
Pine-trees
of
Ida

when
the
Affrick
shrubs
waue
not
a
leafe
with
the
tempest
.
Thine
eyes
are
vailde
with
content
,
that
thou
canst
not
gaze
so
high
as
ambition
,
and
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
saulted
with
,
this
foolish
imagination
of
loue
is
the
greatest
.
Venus
forsooth
for
her
wanton
escapes
must
bee
a
goddesse
,
and
her
bastard
a
Deitie
:
Cupid
must
bee
yong
and
euer
a
boy
,
to
prooue
that
loue
is
fond
and
witlesse
:
wings
to
make
him
inconstant
,
and
arrowes
whereby
to
shew
him
fearefull
:
blind
(
or
all
were
not
worth
a
pin
)
to
prooue
that
Cupids
leuell
is
both
without
aime
and
reason
:
thus
is
the
god
,
and
such
are
〈…〉
as
our
Shepheards
of
Arcadie
settle
themselues
to
fancy
,
and
weare
the
caracters
of
Venus
stampt
in
their
fore-heads
,
straight
their
attire
must
bee
quaint
,
their
lookes
full
of
amors
,
as
their
,
gods
●uiuer
is
full
of
arrowes
:
their
eyes
holding
smiles
and
teares
,
to
leape
out
at
their
Mistris
fauours
or
her
frownes
:
sighes
must
flie
as
figures
of
their
thoughts
,
and
euery
wrinckle
must
be
tempred
with
a
passion
:
thus
suted
in
outware
proportion
,
and
made
excellent
in
inward
constitution
,
they
straight
repaire
to
take
view
of
their
Mistris
beauty
.
She
as
one
obseruant
vnto
Venus
principles
,
first
,
●ieth
loue
in
her
tresses
,
and
wraps
affection
in
the
〈◊〉
of
her
haire
;
snaring
our
swaines
in
her
lockes
,
as
Mars
in

net
,
holding
in
her
forhead
Fortunes
Kalender
,
either
to
assigne
dismall
influence
,
or
some
fauourable
aspect
.
If
a
wrinckle
appeare
in
her
brow
,
then
our
Shepheard
must
put
on
his
working
day
face
,
and
〈◊〉
nought
but
dolefull
madrigals
of
sorrow
;
if
a
dimple
grace
her
cheeke
,
the
heauens
cannot
prooue
fatall
to
our
kinde-hearted
louers
;
if
shee
seeme
coy
,
then
poems
of
death
mounted
vpon
deepe
drawne
sighs
,
flie
from
their
master
to
sue
for
some
fauour
,
alleadging
how
death
at
the
least
may
date
his
misery
;
to
be
briefe
,
as
vpon
the
shoares
of
〈◊〉
,
the
windes
,
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
case
;
variable
and
inconstant
.
If
louers
sorrowes
then
bee
like
Sisiphus
turmoiles
,
and
their
fauours
like
honny
bought
with
●all
;
let
poore
Menaphon
then
liue
at
labour
,
and
make
esteeme
of
Venus
as
of
Mars
his
Coucubine
;
and
as
the
Cimbrians
hold
their
idols
in
account
but
in
euery
tempest
,
so
make
Cupid
a
god
,
but
when
thou
art
ouer
pained
with
passions
,
and
then
Menaphon
will
neuer
loue
:
for
as
long
as
thou
temperest
thy
hande
with
labours
,
thou
canst
not
fetter
thy
thoughts
with
loues
.
And

smiling
at

Menaphon
hauing
ended
his
roundelay

rose
vp
,
thinking
to
passe
from
the
mountaine
downe
to
the
valley
,
casting
his
eye
to
the
sea
side

espied
certaine
fragments
of
a
broken
ship
floating
vpon

and
sundry
persons
driuen
vpon
the
shore
like
a
calme

walking
all
wet
and
weary
vpon

sands
:
wondring
at
this
strange
sight

hee
stood
amazed

yet
destrous

sée
the

of
this
accident

hee
shrowded
himselfe

at

hee
might
descry

a
woman
holding
a
childe
in
her
armes

and
an
olde
man
directing
her
as

preserued

coueted

poore
Menaphon
lay
close

and
resting

vnder

the
old
man
did
nothing

send
out
sighes

and
the

ceased
not

streaming
forth
riuolets
of

that
hung
on
her

like
the
drops

The
poore

was
the

Streaming

Like

flint

Fell
by
course
from
his
eyes
,
That
one
anothers
place
supplies
:
Thus
he
grieued
in
〈◊〉
part
,
Teares
of
bloud
fell
from
his
heart
,
When
he
left
his

With
this
lullaby
the
baby
fell
asleepe
,
and
Sephestia
laying
it
vpon
the
gréene
grasse
,
couered
it
with
a
mantle
,
and
then
leaning
her
head
on
her
hand
,
and
her
elbow
on
her
lap
,
she
fell
afresh
to
powre
forth
abundance
of
plaints
,
which
Lamedon
the
olde
man
espying
,
although
in
his
face
appeared
the
mappe
of
discontent
,
and
in
euery
wrinckle
was
a
catalogue
of
woes
,
yet
to
chéere
vp
Sophestia
,
shrowding
his
inward
sorrow
with
an
outward
smile
,
hee
beganne
to
comfort
her
in
this
manner
.
Sephestia
,
thou
seest
no
〈◊〉
preuailes
against
the
gaze
of

Basiliskes

no
〈◊〉
against

no

to
diuert
the
decrée
of
the
Fates
:
nor
no
meanes
to
recall
backe
the
driefull
hurt
of
Fortune
.
Incurable
sores
are
without
〈◊〉
Aphorismes
,
and
therefore
no
salue
for
them
but
patience
.
Th●n
my
Sephestia
,
●ith
thy
fall
is
high
,
and
fortune
low
;
thy
sorrowes
great
,
and
thy
hope
little
,
se●ing
mee
partaker
of
thy
miseries
,
set
all
vpon
this
,
Solamen
miseris
socios
hab●isse

.
Chance
is
like
Ianus
,
double-faced
,
as
well
full
of
smiles
to
comfort
,
as
of
frownes
to
dismay
:
the
Ocean
at
the
deaddest
ebbe
returnes
to
a
ful
tide
,
when
the
Eagle
means
to
soare
highest
,
he
raiseth
his
●light
in
the
lowest
da●es
:
so
s●reth
it
with
fortune
,
who
in
her
highest
extremes
is
most
vnconstant
:
when
the
tempest
of
her
wrath
is
most
fearefull
,
then
looke
for
a
calme
:
when
she
beats
thée
with
Nettles
,
then
thinke
shée
will
strew
th●●
with
Roses
:
when
she
is
most
familiar
with
●urtes
,
her
intent
is
to
bee
most
prodigall
,
Sephestia
.
Thus
are
the
●●rowes
of
fortune
feathere●
with
the
plumes
of
the
bird
Halc●●●e
,
that
changeth
colour
with
the
●one
,
which
hows●euer
shée
shoots
them
,
pierce
not
so
déepe
but
they
may
be
●●ced
.
But
Sephestia
,
th●●
art
daughter
to
a
s●ing
,
exiled
by
him
from
the
hope
of
a
crowne
was
,
banisht
from
the
pleasures
of
the
Court
to
the
painefull
fortunes
of
the
country
,
parte●
for
loue
from
him
thou
canst
not
but
loue
,
from
Maximus
,
Sephestia
,
who
for
thée
hath
suffered
so
many
dissa●ours
,
as
either
discontent
or
death
can
affoord
.
What
of
all
this
,
is
not
H●pe
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
thée
Sephesti●
,
Iuno
f●ldeth
in
her
browes
the
Volumes
of
the
destinies
:
whom
melancholy
Saturne
deposeth
from
a
Crowne
,
shée
mildely
aduanceth
to
a
Diadem●
:
the●
feare
not
,
for
if
the
mother
li●e
in
miseris
,
yet
hath
she
a
Scepter
for
the
Son
:
let
the
vnkindnesse
of
thy
father
be
buried
in
the
●inders
of
obedience
,
and
the
want
of
Maximus
bee
supplyed
with
the
presence
of
his
pretty
babe
,
who
being
too
yong
for
fortune
,
lyes
smiling
on
thy
knée
and
laughes
at
Fortune
:
learne
by
him
Sephestia
,
to
vse
patience
,
which
is
like
the
balme
in
the
vale
of
Iehosaphat
,
that
〈◊〉
no
wound
so
déepe
;
but
it
cureth
:
thou
séest
alreadie
Fortune
begins
so
change
her
hiew
,
for
after
the
great
storme
that
p●●t
our
shippe
,
we
found
a
calme
that
bronght
vs
safe
to
shore
;
the
mercie
of
Neptune
was
more
then
the
enuie
of
Aeolus
,
&
the
discourtes●e
of
thy
Father
is
proportioned
with
the
fauour
of
the
gods
.
Thus
Sephestia
,
being
copartner
of
thy
miserie
,
yet
doe
I
séeke
to
allay
thy
martyrdome
:
being
sicke
to
my selfe
,
yet
doe
I
play
the
Phisicion
to
thée
,
wishing
thou
mayest
beare
thy
sorrowes
with
as
much
content
,
as
I
brooke
my
misfortunes
with
patience
.
As
he
was
ready
to
go
forward
with
his
perswasiue
argument
,
Sephestia
fetching
a
déepe
sigh
,
filling
her
tender
eyes
with
teares
,
mads
this
reply
.
Swéet
Lamedon
,
once
partner
of
my
royalties
,
now
partaker
of
my
wants
,
as
constant
in
his
extreme
distresse
,
as
faithfull
in
higher
fortunes
:
the
Turtle
pearketh
not
on
barren
trées
,
Doues
delight
not
in
soule
cottages
,
the
Lyon
frequent●
no
putrified
haunts
,
friends
follow
not
after
pouertie
,
nor
hath
●●ister
chance
any
drugs
from
the
Phisicions
.
Nullus
ad
amissas
ibit
amicus
opes
:
and
yet
Lamedon
;
the
misfortune
of
Sephestia
abridgeth
not
our
olde
contracted
amitie
,
thou
temperest
her
●xile
with
thy
banishment
,
and
●hée
sayling
to
Stix
,
thou
●erriest
ouer
to
Phlege●on
:
then
Lamedon
,
saying
as
Andromache
said
to
Hector
,
Tu
Dominus
,
tu
vir
,
tu
mihi
frater
cris
:
Thy
aged
yéeres
shall
be
the
Kalender
of
my
fortunes
,
and
thy
gray
haires
the
Paralels
of
mine
actions
.
If
Lamedon
perswade
Sephestia
to
content
,
Po●tia
shall
not
●●céede
Sephestia
in
patience
:
If
hee
will
her
to
keepe
a
lowe
fayle
,
shée
will
vaile
all
her
shéete
:
if
to
forget
her
loues
,
shée
will
quench
them
with
labours
:
if
to
accuse
Venus
as
a
foe
,
I
will
hate
Cupid
as
an
enemie
:
and
séeing
the
destinies
haue
driuen
thée
from
a
crowne
,
I
wil
rest
satisfied
with
the
country
,
placing
all
my
delights
in
honoring
thée
,
and
nursing
vp
my
pretty
wanton
.
I
will
imagine
a
smal
cottage
to
be
a
spacious
Palace
,
and
think
as
great
quiet
in
a
russet
coat
,
as
in
royall
habilliments
.
Sephestia
,
Lamedon
will
not
scorne
with
Iuno
to
turne
her selfe
into
the
shape
of
Semelas
nurse
,
but
vnknown
,
re●●
careles
of
my
fortunes
:
the
hope
of
times
returne
shall
be
the
end
of
my
thoughts
,
the
smiles
of
my
son
shall
be
the
nourishment
of
my
heart
,
and
the
course
of
his
●outh
shal
be
the
comfort
of
my
yeeres
,
euery
laughter
that
leapes
from
his
lookes
,
sh●ll
be
the
holiday
of
my
conceits
,
and
euery
●eare
shall
furnish
out
my
grief●s
,
and
his
fathers
funeralls
.
I
haue
heard
them
say
,
Lamedon
,
that
the
lowest
shrubbes
feele
the
least
tempests
,
and
in
the
valleys
of
Affrica
is
heard
no
thunder
,
that
in
countrie
roomes
is
greatest
rest
,
and
in
little
wealth
the
least
disquiet
:
dignitie
treadeth
vpon
glasse
,
and
honour
is
like
vnto
the
herbe
Sinara
,
that
when
it
bloometh
most
gorgeous
,
then
it
blasteth
:
Aulica
vita
splendida
miseria
,
Courts
haue
golden
dreames
,
but
cottages
sweet
slumbers
:
then
Lamedon
,
will
I
disguise
my selfe
,
with
my
cloathes
wil
I
change
my
thoughts
;
for
being
poorely
attired
,
I
will
be
meanely
minded
,
&
measure
my
actions
by
my
present
estate
,
not
by
former
fortunes
.
In
saying
this
,
the
babe
a
wa●t
and
cried
,
and
she
fell
to
teares
mixed
with
a
●ullable
.
All
this
while
Menaphon
sate
amongst
the
shrubs
,
fixing
his
eyes
on
the
glorious
obiect
of
her
face
,
he
noted
her
tresses
,
which
hee
compared
to
the
coloured
Hiacinth
of
Arcadia
,
her
browes
to
the
mountain
snows
that
lie
on
the
hils
:
her
eies
to
〈◊〉
gray
glister
of
Titans
gorgeous
mantle
,
her
alablaster
necke
to
the
whitenesse
of
his
flockes
,
her
teares
to
pearle
,
her
face
to
borders
of
lillies
interseamed
with
roses
:
to
be
briefe
,
our
Shepheard
Menaphon
that
heretofore
was
an
Atheist
to
loue
,
and
as
the
Thessalian
of
Bacchus
,
so
hee
a
contmner
of
Venus
,
was
now
by
the
wilie
shaft
of
Cupid
so
intangled
in
the
perfection
&
beauteous
excellencie
of
Sephestia
;
as
now
hee
swore
,
no
benigne
Planet
but
Venus
,
no
god
but
Cupid
,
no
exquisite
deitie
but
Loue
.
Being
thus
fettered
with
the
pliant
perswasions
of
fancie
,
impatient
in
his
new
affections
,
as
the
horse
that
neuer
before
felt
the
spurre
,
he
could
not
bridle
his
new
conceiud
amors
,
but
watching
when
they
should
depart
,
perceiuing
by
the
gestures
of
the
old
man
,
and
the
teares
of
the
Gentlewoman
,
that
they
were
distres●
,
thought
to
offer
〈◊〉
helpe
that
lay
within
the
compasse
of
his
abilitie
.
As
thus
hee
mused
in
his
new
passions
,
Lamedon
and
Sephestia
rose
vp
,
and
resolued
to
take
course
which
way
the
winde
blew
:
passing
so
downe
the
mountain●
to
g●●
seeke
out
some
towne
,
at
last
they
passing
fastly
on
,
Lamedon
espied
Menaphon
:
desirous
therefore
to
know
the
course
of
the
countrie
,
he
saluted
him
thus
.
Shepheard
,
for
to
farre
thy
attire
warrants
me
;
cour●eous
,
for
so
much
thy
countenance
imports
:
i●
distressed
,
persons
,
whom
Fortune
hath
wronged
,
and
the
seas
haue
fauoured
,
(
if
we
may
count
it
fauour
to
liue
and
wa●t
)
may
without
offence
●raue
so
farre
side
,
as
to
know
some
place
where
to
rest
our
wearie
and
weather-beaten
●●nes
,
our
charges
shall
be●
paide
,
and
you
haue
for
recompence
such
thankes
,
as
Fortunes
out-lawes
may
yeeld
to
their
fauourers
.
Menaphon
hearing
him
speake
so
grauely
,
but
not
●itting
his
eare
to
his
eye
,
stood
staring
still
an
Sephestias
face
,
which
shee
perceiuing
,
flashed
out
such
a
blush
fro●
her
alablaster
cheekes
,
that
they
lookt
like
the
rud●●
gates
of
the
Morning
:
this
sweet
bashfulnesse
amazing
Menaphon
,
at
last
he
began
thus
to
answers
.
Strangers
,
your
degree
I
know
not
,
therefore
pardon
if
I
giue
lesse
titl●
,
then
your
estates
●●rite
:
fortunes
from
〈◊〉
are
princes
fortunes
,
and
kings
are
subiect
to
ch●●c●●
destiny
.
Mis-hap
is
to
be
salued
with
pitie
,
not
scorne
:
and
we
that
are
fortunes
darlings
,
are
bound
to
relieu●
them
that
are
distrest
:
therefore
follow
mee
,
and
you
shall
haue
such
succor
,
as
a
Shepheard
may
afford
.
Lamedon
and
Sephestia
,
were
passing
glad
,
and
Menaphon
led
the
way
,
not
content
onely
to
feede
his
sight
with
the
beauty
of
his
new
Mistris
,
but
thought
also
to
infer
some
occasion
of
parl●y
,
to
heare
whether
her
voice
were
as
m●ledious
as
her
face
beautifull
,
hée
therefore
prosecuted
his
prattle
thus
:
Gentlewoman
,
when
first
I
saw
you
sitting
vpon
the
Arcadian
promontorie
with
your

on

thus

Menaphon

〈◊〉

tooke
his

as
a
man
pained
with
a
thousand
passions
,
drenched
in
distresse

ouer-whelmed
with
a

of
vncouth
〈◊〉

〈◊〉

His

his

shée

contented

fetcht
a

she
spared
no

milke

but
went
amongst

made
him
a

But
alas
,
loue
had
so
locked
vp
the
shepheards
stomach
,
that
none
would
downe

Menaphon
.
Carmela
seeing
her
brother
refuse
his
spiced
drinke
,
thought
all
was
not
well

and
therfore
sat
down
and
wept
:
to

〈◊〉

she
blubbered

〈◊〉

and
his

that
came
in

saw
their
●●●ster

a

mourned
:
so
that
amongst
these

there
was
such
melodie
,
that
Menaphon
tooke
his
bow

arrowes
,
and
went
to

where
casting
himselfe

he
thought
to

of
〈◊〉

for
so
will
we
now
call
her

in
that
the
Id●●
of
her
excellence
forced
him
to
breathe
out
scalding
sigh●s
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
bin
frée
from
light
〈◊〉
,
and
the

〈◊〉
a

,
that
labour
had
béene
〈◊〉
so
loue
,
and
the
eschewing
of
idlenes
an
Antidote
against
fancie
:
but
I
sée
by
proofe
,
there
is
no
adamant
so
●ard
,
but
the
bloud
of
a
Goat
will
make
soft
:
no
〈◊〉
so
well
defenced

but
strong
battery
will
enter
,
nor
any
heart
so
plyant
to
restlesse
labours

inchantments
of
loue
will
ouer
come

Vnfortunate

now

In

〈◊〉
the

laid

downe
on

and
tooke
a
sound
nap

sléeping
out

with

As
soone
as
the
Sun
appeared
,
the
shepherd
got
him
vp
,
and
〈◊〉
fat
with
this
hope
,
went
merrily
with
his

to
the
folds
,
and
there
〈◊〉
●orth
his
sheep
,
after
that
he
had
appointed
where
they
should
graze
,
returned
home
,
and
looking
when
his
guests
should
rise
,
hauing
slept
ill
the
last
night
went
roundly
to
his
breakfast
:
by
that
time
hee
had
ended
his
〈◊〉
,
Lamedon
was
gotten
vp
,
and
so
was
Samels
.
Against
their
rising
,
Carmela
had
〈◊〉
her
cookerie

and
Men●phon●yred
●yred
in

as

Samela
no

came
out

but
Menaphon
as

that
stai●●ed
piety

,
had
her
good

〈…〉

look
:
Samela
knowing
the
fowle
by

Feather
,
was
able
to
cast
his

perceiued
that
C●pid

●
yet
〈◊〉
him
:
wel
to
breakfast
they
went
,
Lamedon
&
Samela
sed
hath
,
but
Menaphon
like
the
Argiue
in
the
〈…〉
of
Arabia
,
liued
with
the
contemplation
of
his
mistris
●●a●ty
:
the
Salamender
liues
not
without
●●re
,
the
H●rring
from

water
,
the
Mo●e
from
the
earth
,
nor
the
C●●eleon
from

ayre
:
nor
could
Menaphon
〈◊〉
but
in
●●ght
of
his
Samela
,
whose
breath
was
perfumed
ayre
,
whole
eies
were
〈◊〉
wher
in
he
delighted
to
daily
,
whose
heart
the
earthly
paradise
,
wherein
he
desired
so
ingrasse
the
〈◊〉
of
his
loue
and
affection
:
thus
did
the
poore
shepheard
●athe
in
a
kind
of
blisse
,
while
his
eye
f●●●ing
on
his
mistris
face
,
surfeited
with
the
〈◊〉
of
her
perfection
.
So
long
hee
gazed
,
that
at
length
breakfast
was
ended
,
and
he
destrous
to
do
her
any
seruice
,
first
put
her
childe
to
nurse
,
and
then
led
her
forth
to
see
his
folds
:
thinking
with
the
●●ght
of
his
flocks
to
inueigle
her
,
whose
minde
had
rather
haue
chosen
any
misfortune
,
then
haue
deigned
her
eies
on
the
face
and
feature
of
so
low
a
pesant
.
Well
,
abroad
they
went
,
Menaphon
with
his
Shéep-hooke
fringed
with
crewell
,
to
signifie
he
was
chiefe
of
the
Swaines
,
Lamedon
and
Samela
after
:
plodding
thus
ouer
she
gréeue
fields
,
at
last
they
came
to
the
mountaines
where
Menaphons
flocks
grazed
,
and
there
he
discoursed
to
Samela
thus
.
I
tell
thée
faire
Nimph
,
these
plaines
that
thou
seest
stretching
Southward
,
are
pastures
belonging
to
Menaphon
:
there
growes
the
Cinque●●ile
,
and
the
Hiacinth
,
the
Cow●●ip
,
the
Primrose
,
and
the
Violet
,
which
my
●locks
shal
spare
for
flowers
to
make
thée
Garlands
,
the
milke
of
my
Ewes
,
shall
be
meate
for
my
pretty
wanton
,
the
w●ll
of
the
fat
wethers
,
that
séeme
as
sine
as
the
fléece
that
Iason
fetch●
from
Colchos
,
shall
serue
to
make
Samela
webs
withall
,
the
mountaine
toys
shall
be
thy
morning
walke
,
and
the
sha●●●
Vallies
thy
euenings
Arbour
,
as
much
as
Menaphon
owes
,
shall
be
at
Samelaes
command
,
if
she
like
to
liue
with
Menaphon
.
This
was
spoken
with
such
déep
affects
,
that
Samela
could
scarce
kéep
her
from
smiling
:
yet
she
couered
her
conceit
with
a
sorrowfull
countenance
,
which
Menaphon
espying
,
to
make
her
merry
,
and
rather
for
his
owne
aduantage
,
séeing
Lamedon
was
asléepe
,
●●oke
her
by
the
hand
,
and
sate
downe
,
and
pulling
forth
his
pipe
,
began
after
some
melodie
to
carroll
out
this
roundelay
.
Menaphons
roundelay
.
When
tender
●wes
brought
home
with
Euening
Sunne
,
Wend
to
their
folde
,
And
to
their
holds
,
The
shepheards
trudge
when
light
of
day
is
done
.
Vpon
a
tree
,
The
Eagle
Ioues
faire
bird
did
pearch
,
There
resteth
he
:
A
little
flye
harbour
then
did
search
,
And
did
presume
(
though
others
laught
thereat
)
To
pearch
whereas
the
princely
Eagle
sate
.
The
Eagle
frownde
and
shooke
his
royall
wings
,
And
charg'de
the
Flye
,
From
thence
to
hye
.
Afraide
in
haste
,
the
little
creature
s●ings
,
Yet
seekes
againe
,
Fearefull
to
pea●ke
him
by
the
Eagles
side
,
With
moody
vaine
,
The
speedy
post
of
Ganimede
replide
:
Vassall
,
auant
,
or
with
my
wings
you
dye
,
Is
't
fit
an
Eagle
seate
him
with
a
flye
?
The
flye
craued
pittie
,
still
the
Eagle
frownde
.
The
silly
flye
,
Readie
to
dye
,
Disgracde
,
displacde
,
fell
groueling
to
the
ground
;
The
Eagle
saw
,
And
with
a
royall
minde
,
said
to
the
flye
,
Be
not
in
awe
,
I
scorne
by
me
the
meanest
creature
dye
:
Then
seate
thee
here
:
the
ioyfull
flye
vp
s●ings
,
And
sate
safe
shadowed
with
the
Eagles
wings
.
As
soone
as
Menaphon
had
ended
this
ronndelay
,
turning
to
Samela
,
after
a
country
blush
,
hes
began
to
court
her
in
this
homely
fashion
:
what
thinke
you
▪
Samela
of
the
Eagle
for
this
royall
déed
?
that
he
falsified
the
old
Prouerbe
,
Aquila
non
capit
muscas
.
But
I
meane
,
Samela
,
are
you
not
in
opinion
,
that
the
Eagle
giues
instance
of
a
princely
resolution
,
in
preferring
the
safetie
of
a
flye
,
before
the
credit
of
her
royall
maiestie
?
I
thinke
Menaphon
that
high
minds
are
the
shelters
of
pouerty
,
&
Kings
seats
are
couerts
for
distressed
persons
,
that
the
Eagle
in
shrowding
the
flye
did
well
,
but
a
little
forgot
her
honor
.
But
hold
thinke
you
,
said
Samela
,
is
this
proportion
to
be
obserued
in
loue
?
I
gesse
no
,
for
the
〈◊〉
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
simpathy
of
estates
,
there
can
no
firme
loue
be
fixt
:
discord
is
reputed
the
mother
of
diuision
,
as
in
nature
this
is
an
vnrefuted
principle
,
that
it
faulteth
,
which
faileth
in
vniformitie
.
Hee
that
grafts
Iilliflowers
vpon
the
Nettle
,
marreth
the
smel
,
who
couets
to
tie
the
lamb
and
the
lion
in
one
tedder
,
makes
a
braule
:
equall
fortunes
,
are
loues
fauorites
,
and
therefore
should
fancy
be
alwaies
limited
by
Geometricall
proportion
,
lest
if
yong
matching
with
old
,
fire
and
frost
fall
at
a
combate
,
and
if
rich
with
poore
,
there
ha●
many
dangerous
and
brauing
obiections
.
Menaphon
halfe
nipped
in
the
pate
with
this
reply
,
yet
like
a
tall
souldier
stoode
to
his
tackling
and
made
this
answere
:
suppose
gentle
Samela
,
that
a
man
of
meane
estate
,
whom
disdainfull
fortune
had
abased
,
in
tending
to
make
her
power
prodigall
in
his
mis-fortunes
,
being
feathered
with
Cupids
bolt
▪
were
snared
in
the
beautie
of
a
Quéene
,
should
he
rather
die
then
discouer
his
amors
?
It
Quéenes
(
quoth
she
)
were
of
my
minde
,
I
had
rather
die
,
then
perish
in
baser
fortunes
.
Venus
loue●
Vulcan
,
replied
Menaphon
:
truth
,
quoth
Samela
,
but
though
he
was
polt-footed
,
yet
he
was
a
god
.
Phao
inioyed
S●pho
,
he
a
●erriman
that
liued
by
his
hands
thrift
,
shée
a
princesse
that
sate
inuested
with
a
diadem
.
The
more
fortunate
,
qd.
Samela
,
was
he
in
his
honors
,
and
she
the
lesse
famous
in
her
honestie
.
To
leaue
these
instances
,
replied
Menaphon
(
for
loue
had
made
him
hardy
)
I
,
swéet
Samela
,
infer
these
presupposed
premisses
,
to
discouer
the
basenesse
of
my
mean
birth
,
and
yet
the
●éepnesse
of
my
affection
,
who
euer
since
I
saw
the
brightnesse
of
your
perfection
shining
vpon
the
mountaines
of
Arcady
,
like
the
glister
of
the
Sun
vpon
the
toplesse
promontory
of
Sicilia
,
was
so
snared
with
your
beauty
,
&
so
inueigled
with
the
excellence
of
that
perfection
that
excéeds
all
excellency
,
that
loue
entring
my
desire
,
hath
maintained
himselfe
by
force
,
that
vnlesse
sweets
Samela
grant
me
fauor
of
her
loue
,
&
play
the
princely
Egle
,
I
shall
with
the
poore
●●ie
perish
in
my
fortunes
:
he
concluded
this
period
with
a
deepe
sigh
:
and
Samela
grieuing
a●
this
folly
of
the
shepheard
,
gaue
him
mildely
this
answere
.
Menaphon
,
my
distressed
haps
are
the
resolution
of
the
destinies
,
and
the
wrongs
of
my
youth
are
the
fore-runners
of
my
woes
in
age
,
my
natiue
home
is
my
worst
nurcery
,
&
my
friends
deny
that
which
strangers
preiudicially
grant
:
I
arriued
in
Arcadie
shipwrackt
,
and
Menaphon
fauoring
my
sorrowes
,
hath
affoorded
me
succours
,
for
which
Samela
rests
bound
,
and
will
prooue
thankefull
:
as
for
loue
,
know
that
Venus
standeth
on
the
Tortois
,
as
shewing
that
loue
creepeth
on
by
degrées
,
that
affection
is
like
the
snaile
,
that
steales
to
the
top
of
the
launce
by
minutes
:
the
grasse
hath
his
increase
,
yet
neuer
any
sées
it
augment
,
the
sun
shadoweth
,
but
the
motion
is
not
séene
:
loue
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
so●re
hie
,
to
auoid
base
thoughts
.
The
Topaz
being
throwne
into
the
fire
,
burnes
strait
,
but
no
sooner
out
of
the
flame
but
it
fréezeth
:
straw
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
,
Menaphon
,
first
to
sorrow
〈◊〉
my
fortunes
,
then
to
call
to
mind
my
husbands
late
funeralls
,
then
if
the
fates
haue
assigned
I
shall
fancie
,
I
will
account
of
thée
before
any
shepheard
in
Arcadie
.
This
conclusion
of
Samela
drew
Menaphon
into
such
an
extasie
for
ioy
,
that
hee
stoode
as
a
man
metamorphozed
:
at
last
,
calling
his
senses
together
,
he
told
her
he
rested
satisfied
with
her
answer
,
and
thereupon
le●t
her
a
kisse
,
such
as
blushing
Thetis
receiues
from
her
choicest
Leman
.
At
this
Lamedon
awaked
,
otherwise
,
no
doubt
,
Menaphon
had
replied
,
but
breaking
off
their
talke
,
they
went
so
view
their
pastures
,
&
so
passing
downe
to
the
place
where
the
shéep
grazed
,
they
searched
the
shepheards
bags
,
&
so
emptied
their
bottles
,
as
Samela
maruelled
at
such
an
vncouth
banquet
:
at
last
they
returned
home
,
Menaphon
glorying
in
the
hope
of
his
successe
,
entertaining
Samela
stil
with
such
curtesy
,
that
she
finding
such
content
in
the
cottage
,
began
to
despise
the
honors
of
the
court
.
Resting
thus
in
house
with
the
Shepheard
,
to
auoyd
tedious
conceits
,
she
framed
her selfe
so
to
countrie
labours
,
that
she
oft-times
would
leade
the
●●acke●
to
the
fields
her selfe
,
and
being
drest
in
hamely
attire
,
shee
séemed
like
Ocnone
that
was
amorous
of
Paris
.
As
shee
thus
often
traced
alongst
the
plaines
,
she
was
noted
amongst
the
shepheards
of
one
Doron
next
neighbour
to
Menaphon
,
who
entred
into
the
consideration
of
her
beauty
,
and
made
report
of
it
to
all
his
fellow
swaines
,
so
that
they
chatted
naught
in
the
fields
but
of
the
new
shepheard●sse
.
One
day
amongst
the
rest
,
it
chaunced
that
Doron
sitting
in
parley
with
another
country
companion
of
his
,
amidst
other
tattle
,
they
prattled
of
the
beaut●e
of
Samela
.
Hast
thou
〈◊〉
her
,
quoth
Melicertus
?
(
for
so
was
his
●rland
called
)
I
quoth
Doron
,
and
●●ghed
to
sée
her
,
not
that
I
was
in
loue
,
but
that
Agréeued
shee
should
bee
in
loue
with
such
a
one
as
Menaphon
.
What
manner
of
woman
is
she
,
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
weede
,
Girt
with
a
crimson
robe
of
brightest
die
,
goes
faire
Samela
.
Whiter
then
be
the
flocks
th●t
straggling
feede
,
When
washt
by
Arothusa
faint
they
lie
,
is
faire
Samela
.
As
faire
Aurora
in
her
morning
gray
,
Deckt
with
the
ruddy
glister
of
her
loue
,
is
faire
Samela
.
Like
louely
Thetis
on
a
calmed
day
.
When
as
her
brightnesse
Neptunas
fancy
moue
,
shines
faire
Samela
.
Her
tresses
gold
▪
her
eyes
like
glassie
streames
,
Her
teeth
are
pearle
,
the
brests
are
ivory
,
of
faire
Samela
.
Her
cheekes
like
rose
&
lilly
yeeld
forth
gleames
,
Her
browes
bright
arches
framde
of
ebony
:
thus
faire
Samela
Passeth
faire
Venus
in
her
brauest
hiew
,
And
Inno
in
the
shew
of
maiestie
for

Samela

For

Thou
ha●●
(
〈◊〉
Melic●●us

made
such
a
description
▪
as
〈…〉
should
painst
●nt
the
perfection
of
his
〈…〉
thinkes
the
Idea
of
her
person
represents
〈…〉
an
obiect
to
my
san●●e
,
and
that
I
see
in
the
discouerie
of
her
excellence
,
the
rare
beauties
of
-
:
and
with
that
he
〈…〉
as
it
séemed
his
heart
〈…〉
as
the
Lapithes
when

〈…〉
.
Doron
maruelling
at
this
sodaine
euent
,
was
halfe
afraid
,
as
if
some
apopl●●y
had
astonied
his
senses
,
so
that
chéering
vp
his
friend
,
he
demanded
what
the
cause
was
of
this
●●daine
conceit
.
Melicertus
no
niggard
in
discouerie
of
his
fortunes
,
began
thus
:
I
tell
thée
Doron
,
before
I
kept
sheepe
in
Arcadle
,
I
was
a
shepheard
elsewhere
,
so
famous
for
my
flockes
,
as
Menaphon
for
his
foldes
;
beloued
of
the
Nimphes
,
as
he
likte
of
the
Country
Damsels
;
coueting
in
my
loues
to
vse
Cupids
wings
,
to
soare
high
in
my
desires
,
though
my selfe
were
borne
to
base
fortunes
.
The
hobby
catcheth
no
prey
,
vnlesse
she
mount
beyond
her
marke
,
the
Palme
tree
beareth
most
boughes
where
it
groweth
highest
,
&
loue
is
most
fortunate
where
his
courage
is
〈◊〉
,
and
though
beyond
his
compasse
.
Grounding
therefore
on
these
principles
,
I
fixt
mine
eies
on
a
Nimph
,
whose
parentage
was
great
,
but
her
beauty
far
more
excellent
▪
her
birth
was
by
many
degrees
greater
then
mine
,
and
my
worth
by
many
discents
lesse
then
hers
:
yet
〈◊〉
Venus
loued
Adonis
;
and
Luna
Endymion
,
that
Cupid
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
lightning
disdaine
,
and
her
forehead
to
containe
fauours
for
others
,
and
frownes
for
me●
when
I
alleaged
faith
,
shee
crost
me
with
Aeneas
:
when
loyaltie
,
she
told
〈…〉
when
I
swore
constancie
,
〈…〉
when
I
craued
a
finall
resolution
〈…〉
,
shee
●ld
her
browes
full
of
wrinckles
,
and
her
eyes
full
of
furie
,
turned
her
back
,
and
shooke
〈◊〉
off
with
a
Non
placet
.
Thus
in
loues
I
lost
loues
,
and
for
her
loue
had
lost
all
,
had
I
not
when
I
néere
despayred
the
〈◊〉
of
some
court●ous
starre
,
or
rather
the
very
excellence
of
s●me
Mistri●
fauors
salued
my
halfe
despayring
maladie
:
for
shée
séeing
that
I
held
a
superstitious
opinion
of
l●ue
,
in
honouring
him
for
a
Deitie
,
not
in
counting
him
a
vaine
conceite
of
Poetrie
,
that
I
thought
it
sacriledge
to
wrong
my
desires
,
and
the
basest
fortune
to
inhaunce
my
fortune
by
fals●fyng
my
loues
to
a
woman
,
shee
left
from
being
so
rammag●
,
and
gently
came
to
the
first
,
and
granted
mee
those
sauours
shee
might
affoord
or
my
thoughts
desire
:
with
this
he●
〈◊〉
and
fell
againe
to
his
sigh●●
,
which
Doron
noting
,
answered
thus
.
If
(
my
good
〈◊〉
)
thou
didst
enioy
thy
loues
,
what
is
the
occasion
thou
beginnest
with
sigh●●
,
and
endest
with
passions
?
Ah
,
Doron
,
there
ends
my
ioyes
,
for
no
sooner
had
I
triumpht
in
my
fauours
,
but
the
〈◊〉
of
my
fortunes
fell
like
the
hearbes
in
Syria
,
that
flourish
in
the
morne
,
and
fade
before
night●
o●
like
vnto
the
flye
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
vnr●uocable
Fates
to
depriue
me
of
her
life
,
and
shée
is
dead
:
Dead
Doron
:
to
her
,
to
my selfe
,
to
all
,
but
not
to
my
memorie
,
for
so
déepe
were
the
caracters
stamped
in
my
inward
senses
,
that
obliuion
can
neuer
rase
out
the
forme
of
her
excellence
.
And
with
that
hée
〈…〉
out
of
those
dumpes
with

,
(
for
he
played
on
his

As

As

Such

Thus
was
faith

showne

As

How

this

of

As

Melicertus

should
hap
to
giue
me
the

I

Doron

so
long
we
dispute

that

that

the

Doron
hearing
Samela
thus
pleasant
,
made
presently
this
〈◊〉
reply
:
〈◊〉
was
(
〈◊〉
mistris
)
in
solemne
doubt
with

whether
in

you

〈◊〉
no

quoth
Samela
,
for

are
the
〈◊〉
but
then
that
the
head
can
bears
:
As
Doron
was
ready
to
reply
,
came
in
suddenly
to
this
parly
●ours
or
s●ue
old
shepheards
:
who
broke
off
their
prat●●e
,
that
from
that
,
they
fell
to
drinking
:
and
●o
after
some
●●rley
of
their
stockes
,
euery
one
departed
to
their
owne
〈◊〉
,
where
they
talked
of
the
〈◊〉
perfection
of
Samela
,
especially
Melicertus
,
who
gotten
to
his
owne
cottage
,
and
lien
downe
in
his
couch
by
〈…〉
on
Samelaes
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
●●ammels
of
Sephestiaes
〈◊〉
a
face
fairer
then
Venus
,
such
was
Sephestia
▪
her
eye
paints
her
out
Sephestia

her
voice

out

she
séemeth
none

there

sue
to
her
and
loue
her

for
that
it
is
either
a
selfe-same
or
another
Sephestia

In
this
hope
Melicertus
tell
to
his
slumber
,
but
Samela
was
not
content
:
for
she
beganne
thus
to
mus●
with
her
false
:
May
this
Melicertus
be

shepheard

or
can
a

cottage
affoord
such
perfection

doth
this

bring
forth
such
excellencie

then
happy
are
the

And

Shall

Ah
,
more

Whose

How

And

When

Atre●●
with

Whiles
she
led
forth

And
lent

Not

should

could
not
inuent
A

When
Melicertus
had
ended
this
roundelay
in
prayse
of
his
Mistris
,
Samela
perceiued
by
his
description
,
that
either
some
better
Poet
then
himselfe
had
made
it
,
or
else
that
his
former
phrase
was
dissembled
:
wherfore
to

&
to
sée
what

lay

,
she
followed
the

in

Melicertus
,
might
not
a

craue
your
Mistris
name

At
this
the
shepheard
blusht
,
and
made
no
reply
.
How
now

quoth
Samela
▪
what
?
is
shée
so
meane
that
you
shame
,
or
so
high
that
you
feare
to
bewray
the
soueraigne
of
your
thoughts
?
stand
not
in
doubt
man
:
for
bee
shee
base
,
I
read
that
mightie
Tamberlaine
after
his
wise
Xenocrate
(
the
worlds
faire
eye
)
passed
out
of
the
theatre
of
this
mortall
life
,
he
chose
stigmaticall
Tru●s
to
please
his
humorous
fancie
.
Be
shée
a
Princesse
,
honour
hangs
in
high
desires
,
and
it
is
the
token
of
a
high
muld
to
venter
for
a
Ouéene
:
then
gentle
shepheard
tell
me
thy
mistris
name
.
Melicertus
,
hearing
his
Goodesse
speake
sofauorably
,
Breathed
out
this
sodaine
reply
:
high
Samela
,
and
therefore
I
feare
with
the
Syrian
Wolues
to
barke
against
the
Moone
,
or
with
them
of
Scyrum
,
to
shoote
against
the
Starres
in
the
height
of
my
thoughts
soaring
too
high
,
to
fall
with
wofull
repenting
Ica●is
:
No
sooner
did
mine
●ye
glance
vpon
her
beautie
,
but
as
if
loue
and
fate
had
sate
to
forge
my
fatall
disquiet
,
they
trapt
me
within
her
lookes
,
and
haling
het
Idaea
through
the
passage
of
my
sight
,
placed
it
so
déeply
in
the
center
of
my
heart
,
as
ma●ger
all
my
studious
endeuor
it
still
and
euer
will
keepe
restlesse
possession
:
Noting
her
vertues
,
her
beauties
,
her
perfections
;
her
excellence
,
and
feare
of
her
too
high
borne
parentage
,
though
painefully
fettered
,
yet
haue
I
still
feared
to
dare
so
hauty
an
attempt
to
so
braue
a
personage
:
lest
she
offensiue
at
my
presumption
,
I
perish
in
the
height
of
my
thoughts
.
This
conclusion
broken
with
an
abrupt
passion
,
could
not
so
satisfie
Samela
,
but
she
would
be
further
inquisitiue
.
At
last
,
after
many
questions
,
he
answered
thus
:
séeing
,
Samela
,
I
consume
my selfe
,
and
displease
you
,
to
hazard
for
the
salue
that
may
cure
my
maladie
,
and
satisfie
your
question
,
know
it
is
the
beauteous
Samela
.
Be
there
more
of
that
name
in
Arcadie
,
beside
my selfe
,
qd.
she
?
I
know
not
,
said
Melicertus
,
but
were
there
a
million
,
only
you
are
Melicertus
Samela
:
but
of
a
million
,
quoth
she
,
I
cannot
he
Melicertus
Samela
:
for
loue
hath
put
one
arrow
of
desire
in
his
quiuer
,
but
one
string
to
his
how
,
and
in
choice
but
one
ayme
of
affection
.
Haue
yée
alreadie
,
said
Melicertus
,
set
your
rest
vpon
some
higher
Personage
?
No
,
said
Samela
,
I
meane
by
your selfe
,
for
I
haue
heard
that
your
fancie
is
linked
alredy
to
a
beautiful
shepherdesse
in
Arcadie
.
At
this
the
poore
Swaine
tainted
his
chéeks
with
a
vermillion
die
,
yet
thinking
to
carry
out
the
matter
with
a
iest
,
he
stood
to
his
tackling
thus
:
whosoeuer
,
Samela
,
descanted
of
that
loue
,
told
you
a
Canterburie
Tale
,
some
propheticall
full
mouth
,
that
as
hee
were
a
Coblers
eldest
son
,
would
by
the
Last
,
tell
where
and
thers
shee
wrings
,
but
his
sowterly
ayme
was
iust
leuell
,
in
thinking
euery
looke
was
loue
,
or
euery
faire
word
a
pawne
of
loyalty
.
Then
said
Samela
,
taking
him
at
a
rebound
,
Neither
map
I
thinke
your
glances
to
be
fancies
,
nor
your
greatest
protestation
any
assurance
of
déepe
affection
:
therefore
ceasing
off
to
court
any
further
at
this
time
,
thinke
you
haue
proued
your●selfe
too
tall
a
souldier
to
continue
so
long
at
battery
,
and
that
I
am
a
fauourable
soe
that
haue
continued
solong
at
parly
:
but
I
change
you
by
the
loue
you
a
we
your
déerest
mistris
,
not
to
say
any
more
as
to●ching
loue
at
this
time
.
It
Samela
,
said
he
,
thou
hadst
ini●yned
me
as
Iuo●
.
did
to
Hercules
,
most
dangerous
labours
,
I
would
haue
discouered
my
loue
by
obedience
,
and
my
affection
by
death
:
yet
let
me
craue
this
,
that
as
I
began
with
a
Sonnet
,
so
I
may
end
with
a
Madrigall
.
Content
,
Melicertus
,
quoth
she

for
none
more
then
I
loue

Vpon
this

the
shepheard
proudtu
,
followed
with
this
ditty
.
Melicertus
Madrigall
.
What
are
my
sheepe
without
their
wonted
foode
?
What
is
my
life
except
I
gaine
my
loue
?
My
sheepe
consume
and
faint
for
want
of

,
My
life
is
lost
vnlesse
I
grace

No

No

without

The
day
without
the
Sunne
,
doth
lowre
for
woe
,
Then
woe
mine
eyes
,
vnlesse
thy

see
My

Samelaes
eyes

by

Wherein

Iufud●s

So
wends
the
source
of
loue
,
It
feedes
,
it
falles
,
it
ends
.
Kind
lookes
cleare
to
your

,
behold
her
eyes
,
Admire
her

,
desire
to

her
kisses
;
In
them
the
heauen
of

lies
:
Without
them
eu'rie

Oh
how
I
loue
to

,
Whereto
this
solace
tends
.
Scarce
had
the
Shepheard
ended
this
Madrigall
,
but
Samela
began
to
frowne
,
saying
he
had
broken
promise
.
Mel●certus
alleaged
,
if
he
had
vttered
any
passion
,
t
was
sung
,
not
said
.
Thus
these
louers
,
in
a
humorous
descant
of
their
prattle
,
espied
a
far
off
olde
Lamedon
and
Menaphon
comming
towards
them
:
whereupon
kissing
in
conceit
,
and
prattling
with
interchanged
glances
,
Melicerius●tole
●tole
to
his
sheepe
,
and
Samela●ate
●ate
her
downe
making
of
nets
to

birds
.
At
last
,
Lamedon
and
her
loue
came
,
&
after
many
gracious
looks
,
and
much
good
parly
,
helpt
her
home
with
her
shéepe
,
&
put
them
in
the
folds
:
but
leauing
these
amorous
shepherds
busie
in
their
loues
,
let
vs
returne
at
length
to
the
pretty
babie
Samelas
childe
,
whom
Menaphon
had
put
to
norse
in
the
country
.
This
infant
being
by
nature
beautiful
,
and
by
birth
noble
,
euen
in
his
cradle
exprest
to
the
eyes
of
the
gazers
,
such
glorious
presages
of
his
approching
fortunes
,
as
if
another
Alciades
(
the
arm-strong
d●rling
of
the
doubled
night
)
by
wrestling
with
snakes
in
his
swa●dling
●lowtes
,
should
prophesse
to
the
world
the
approching
wonders
of
his
prowesse
:
so
did
his
fiery
looks
reflect
●●rror
to
the
weak
beholders
of
his
ingrafie●
nobilitie
,
as
if
some
God
twice-borne
,
like
to
the
Th●ra●ian
Bac●●●●
,
〈◊〉
his

auen-borne
deitie
,
should
delude
our
eies
with
the
alternate
form
of
his
infancie
.
Fiue
yéeres
had
full
run
their
monthly
reuolution
,
when
as
this
beautious
boy
began
to
shew
himselfe
among
the
shepheards
children
,
with
whom
he
had
no
sooner
contracted
familiar
acquaintance
,
but
steaite
he
was
chosen
Lord

and
imitating

in
his

exercite
of

with
teares

&

I

and
then
am
I
vndone

in
thy
proude
soaring

dispoited
and
disr●abed
of

must
returne

to
the
folds
where
I
left
my
feares

&
haste
to
the
court
of
my
hell
,
there
to
inuest
me
with
my
wonted
cares
:
how
now
Samela
,
wilt
thou
be

Sybill
of
mishaps
to
thy selfe

The
angry
heauens
that
haue
eterniz'd

haste
establish●
thy

my
content

that
we
may
be
no
longer
then
my
Pleusidippus
daies
in
Arcady
,
which
I
haue
cause
to
feare
:
for
the
whelpes
of
the
Lyon
are
no
longer
harmelesse
then
when
they
are
whelpes
,
and
babes
are
no
longer
to
be
awed
then
while
they
are
babes
.
I
,
but
nature
:
&
ther
with
she
paused
,
being
interrupted
by
a
tumult
of
boyes
,
that
by
yong
Pleusidippus
command
fell
vpon
one
of
their
fellowes
,
and
beat
him
most
cruelly
for
playing
false
play
at
Nine-holes
:
which
she
espying
through
the
lattice
〈…〉
not
chuse
but
smile
aboue
measure
▪
but
when
shee
saw
him
in
his
childish
tearmes
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
stayed
,
but
Lamedon
and
Menaphon
called
her
away
to
accompany
them
to
the
solds
,
whiles
Pleusidippus
hasting
to
the
execution
of
iustice
,
dismissed
of
his
boyish
session
till
their
next
meeting
:
where
how
imperiously
hee
behaued
himselfe
in
punishing
misorders
amongst
his
equalls
,
in
vsing
more
then
iesting
iustice
towards
his
vntamed
copesmates
,
I
referre
it
to
the
A●●als
of
the
Arcadians
that
dilate
not
a
little
of
this
ingenious
argument
.
In
this
sort
did
Pleufidippus
draw
forth
his
infancie
;
till
on
a
time
walking
to
the
shore
,
where
he
with
his
mother
were
wrackt
,
to
gather
Cockle
and
pebble
stones
,
as
children
are
wont
:
there
arriued
on
the
strond
a
Thessalian
Pirate
named
Eurilochus
,
who
after
he
had
forraged
in
the
Arcadian
confines
,
driuing
before
him
a
large
bootie
of
●easts
to
his
ships
,
espied
this
pretty
infant
,
when
gazing
on
his
face
,
as
wanton
Ioue
gaze●
on
Phrygian
Ganimede
in
the
fields
of
Id●
,
he●
exhaled
into
his
eyes
such
déepe
impression
of
his
perfection
,
as
that
his
thought
neuer
thirsted
so
much
after
any
prey
,
as
this
pretty
Pleusidippus
possession
:
But
determining
first
to
assay
him
by
curtesie
,
before
he
a●●ailed
him
with
rigour
,
he
began
to
try
his
wit
after
this
manner
.
My
little
child
,
whence
art
thou
,
where
wert
thou
borne
,
what
is
thy
name
,
and
wherefore
wanderest
thou
thus
all
alone
on
the
shoare
?
I
pray
yee
what
are
ye
Sir
,
quoth
Pleusidippus
,
that
deale
thus
with
me
by
interrogatories
,
as
if
I
were
some
run-away
?
Wilt
thou
not
tell
me
then
who
was
thy
father
?
said
he
,
Good
sir
,
if
ye
will
néeds
know
,
goe
aske
that
of
my
mother
.
He
hath
said
well
,
my
Lord
,
quoth
Romanio
,
who
was
one
of
his
speciall
associates
,
for
wise
are
the
children
in
these
dayes
that
know
their
owne
fathers
,
especially
if
they
be
begotten
in
dog-dayes
,
when
their
mothers
are
franticke
with
loue
,
&
yong
men
furious
for
lust
.
Besides
,
who
knowes
not
that
these
Arcadians
are
giuen
to
take
the
benefit
of
euery
Hodge
,
when
they
will
sacrifice
their
virginitie
to
Venus
,
though
they
haue
but
a
hush
of
net●les
for
their
bed
?
and
sure
this
boy
is
but
some
shepheards
bastard
at
the
most
,
howsoeuer
this
wanton
face
importeth
more
then
appearance
.
Pleusidippus
eyes
at
this
speech
resolued
into
●ire
,
and
his
face
in
purple
with
a
more
then
common
courage
in
children
of
his
yéeres
and
stature
,
gaue
him
the
lye
roundly
in
this
reply
:
Pesant
,
the
bastard
in
thy
face
,
for
I
am
a
Gentleman
:
wert
thou
a
man
in
courage
,
as
thou
art
a
cow●
in
proportion
,
thou
wouldest
neuer
haue
so
much
impaired
thy
honesty
,
as
to
derogate
from
my
honor
.
Look
not
in
my
face
,
but
leuel
at
my
heart
by
this
that
thou
séest
:
&
therwith
he
●et
●riue
at
him
with
such
ptbble
stones
as
he
had
in
his
hat
,
insomuch
that
Romanio
was
driuen
to
his
héeles
,
to
shunne
this
suddaine
haileshot
,
and
Eurilochus
resolued
into
laughter
,
and
in
termes
of
admiration
most
highly
extolled
so
excéeding
magnanimitie
in
so
little
a
bodie
:
which
how
auailable
it
proued
,
to
the
confirmation
of
his
fancie
that
was
before
inflamed
with
his
features
,
let
them
imagine
that
haue
noted
the
imbecillitie
of
that
age
,
and
the
vnresisted
furie
of
men
at
Armes
.
Sufficeth
at
this
instant
to
vnfold
(
all
of
her
circumstances
of
praise
laid
apart
)
that
Eurilochus
being
far
in
loue
with
his
extraordinary
lineaments
awaited
no
farther
parly
,
but
willed
his
men
,
perforce
,
to
hopse
him
a
ship-boord
,
intending
as
soone
as
euer
he
arriued
in
Thessalie
,
by
sending
him
to
the
Court
as
a
present
,
to
make
peace
with
his
Lord
&
Master
Agenor
,
who
not
long
before
had
proclaimed
him
as
a
notorious
Pirat
throughout
all
his
dominions
.
Neither
swarued
hee
one
whit
from
his
purpose
:
for
no
sooner
had
he
cast
anker
in
the
port
of
Hadrianopolis
,
but
he
arraied
him
in
choise
silkes
,
and
Tyrian
purple
,
and
so
sent
him
as
a
prize
to
the
king
of
that
Countrey
:
who
walking
as
then
in
his
Summer
garden
,
with
his
Quéene
the
beauteous
Eriphila
,
fell
to
discourse
(
as
one
wel
séene
in
Philosophie
)
or
Hearbs
and
flowers
,
as
the
sauour
or
colour
did
occasion
:
and
hauing
spent
some
time
in
disputing
their
medicinable
properties
,
his
Lady
reching
him
a
Marigold
,
he
began
to
moralize
of
it
thus
merrily
:
I
maruell
the
Poets
that
w●re
to
prodigall
in
painting
the
amorous
affection
of
the
〈◊〉
to
his
Hiacinth
,
did
neuer
obserue
the
relation
of
loue
twixt
him
and
the
Marigold
:
it
should
séeme
eyther
they
were
loth
to
incurre
the
displeasure
of
women
,
by
propounding
in
the
way
of
comparison
any
ser●ile
imitation
for
head-strong
wiues
,
that
loue
no
precepts
lesse
then
those
pertaining
vnto
dutie
;
or
that
the
●lower
not
so
vsuall
in
their
gardens
as
ours
,
in
her
vnacquainted
name
,
did
obscure
the
honour
of
her
amours
to
Apollo
,
to
whose
motions
reducing
the
method
of
her
springing
,
shée
waketh
and
stéepeth
,
openeth
and
shutteth
her
golden
leaues
as
he
riseth
and
setteth
.
Well
did
you
fore-stall
▪
my
exception
,
quoth
Etiphila
,
in
terming
it
a
seruile
imitation
:
for
were
the
condition
of
a
wise
so
slauish
,
as
your
similitude
would
inferre
,
I
had
as
liefe
be
your
page
as
your
spouse
,
your
dog
as
your
darling
.
Not
so
,
swéet
wife
,
answered
Agenor
,
but
the
comparison
holdeth
in
this
,
that
as
the
Marigold
resembleth
the
Sun
both
in
colour
and
forme
,
so
each
mans
wife
ought
euery
way
to
be
the
image
of
her
husband
,
framing
her
countenance
to
smile
,
when
shee
sées
him
disposed
to
mirth
,
and
contrarywise
her
eyes
to
teares
,
hee
being
surcharge
with
melancholy
:
As
the
Marigold
displayeth
the
orient
ornaments
of
her
beautie
,
and
to
the
resplendant
view
of
none
but
her
louer
Hyperion
:
so
ought
not
a
woman
of
modestie
lay
open
the
allurements
of
her
face
to
any
but
her
espoused
Phéere
,
in
whose
absence
,
like
the
Marigold
in
the
absence
of
the
Sunne
,
she
ought
to
shut
vp
her
dores
,
and
solemnize
continual
night
,
til
her
husband
,
her
Sun
making
a
happy
returne
,
vnsealeth
her
silence
with
the
ioy
of
hid
sight
.
Beléeue
mee
,
but
if
all
flowers
(
quoth
Eriphila
)
affoord
such
influence
of
eloquence
to
our
aduerse
Orators
,
I
le
exempt
them
all
from
my
smell
,
for
feare
they
be
all
planted
to
poison
.
Oft
haue
I
heard
(
replyed
Agenor
)
our
cunning
Phisicians
conclude
,
that
one
poison
is
harmelesse
to
another
,
which
if
they
be
so
,
there
is
no
cause
why
a
thistle
should
feare
to
be
s●ung
of
a
Natile
.
I
can
tell
you
sir
,
you
were
best
beware
,
●eft
in
wading
to●
farre
in
comparisons
o●
thistles
and
Nettle●
,
you
ochange
not
your
Rose
for
a
Nettle
.
If
〈◊〉
Agenor
,
it
is
no
more
,
but
my
gardener
shall
plucke
it
vp
by
the
roots
,
and
throw
it
ouer
the
wall
as
a
wéed
.
To
end
this
iest
,
which
else
would
issue
to
a
iarre
,
what
purple
flower
is
this
in
forme
like
a
Hiacinth
(
quoth
Eriphila
)
so
cunningly
dropped
with
bloud
,
as
if
nature
had
intermeddled
with
the
Heralds
art
to
●mblazon
a
bléeding
heart
?
It
〈◊〉
flower
,
into
which
Poets
faigne
,
Venus
〈◊〉
dying
〈◊〉
to
hi●
turn●d
afaire
Boy
,
but
〈…〉
it
●ossible
(
〈◊〉
Eriphil●
)
that
euer
nature
should
be
&
so
bounteous
to
a
Boy
,
to
giue
him
a
face
in
despite
of
women
so
faira
?
faine
would
I
sée
such
an
obiect
,
and
then
would
I
defie
beautie
for
imparting
our
excellencie
to
any
infer
obiect
.
In
saying
those
words
,
(
as
if
fortune
meant
to
present
her
fancie
with
her
desired
felicitie
)
Romanio
conducted
by
one
of
the
Lorde
,
came
with
young
Pleusidippus
in
his
hand
into
the
priuie
Garden
:
where
discoursing
vnto
the
King
the
intent
of
Eurilochus
,
in
presenting
him
with
such
an
inestimable
Iewell
,
the
manner
of
his
taking
of
the
Strond
of
Arcadie
,
with
other
circumstances
of
vowed
allegeance
:
all
which
being
greatefully
accepted
of
Agenor
,
hee
sealed
their
seuerall
pardons
,
and
gaue
them
leaue
to
depart
.
But
when
hee
had
thorowly
obserued
euerie
perfection
of
young
Pleusidippus
,
he
burst
into
these
termes
of
passion
:
Had
Sea-bo●●e
P●ntia
then
an
applyable
eare
in
our
idlenesse
,
that
to
testifie
her
eternall
Deity
,
she
should
send
vs
a
second
Adonis
,
to
delude
our
senses
?
what
euer
may
deserue
the
name
,
faire
haue
I
séene
before
,
beautie
haue
I
beheld
in
his
brightest
orbe
,
but
neuer
set
eye
on
immortalitie
before
this
houre
.
Eriphila
,
likewise
in
no
lesse
extasie
,
séeing
her
eyes
to
●azle
with
the
re●●exe
of
his
beautie
,
and
her
chéeks
tainted
with
a
blush
of
disgrace
by
t●o
too
much
gazing
on
his
face
,
said
:
that
either
the
Sun
had
left
his
b●wer
to
beguile
their
eyes
with
a
borrowed
shape
(
which
could
not
keepe
in
his
brightnesse
,
)
or
Cupid
dis●●ounted
from
his
mother●
lap
,
left
his
how
,
&
quiuer
at
random
,
to
outbraue
the
Thessalonian
dames
in
their
beautie
.
In
this
contrariety
of
thoughts
,
being
all
plunged
wel-nigh
in
a
spéechlesse
astonishment
,
the
faire
childe
Pleusidippus
,
not
vsed
to
such
hyperbolicall
spactators
,
broke
off
the
silence
,
by
calling
for
his
victuals
,
as
one
whose
empty
stomacke
slace
his
comming
from
sea
,
was
not
ouer-cleped
with
delicates
.
Wherout
Agenor
,
reuiued
from
him
trance
,
wherein
the
present
wonder
had
inwrapt
him
,
demaunded
such
questions
〈◊〉
his
name
and
parentage
,
as
the
Pyrats
ignorance
could
not
vnfolde
:
but
hée
being
able
to
tell
no
more
then
this
,
that
his
mother
was
a
Shephear●esse
,
and
his
owne
name
,
Pleusidippus
,
cut
off
all
other
interrogatories
,
bp
calling
after
his
childish
manner
againe
,
for
his
dinner
.
Whereupon
,
Agenor
,
commanding
him
to
bee
had
in
,
and
vsed
in
euery
respect
as
the
childe
of
a
Prince
,
began
in
his
solitarie
walke
by
his
countenance
to
ralculate
his
Natiuitie
,
and
measure
his
birth
by
his
beautie
,
contracti●g
him
in
thought
,
heire
to
the
Kingdome
of
Thessaly
,
and
husband
to
his
daughter
,
before
he
knew
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
wee
left
,
backe
into
Arcadie
,
and
meete
his
mother
the
faire
Samela
returning
from
the
Foldes
:
who
hauing
discoursed
by
the
way
as
shee
came
home
to
Lamedon
and
Menaphon
,
what
shee
late
saw
and
obserned
in
her
Sonne
,
they
both
conioyned
their
iudgements
to
their
conclusion
,
that
he
was
doubtlesse
borne
to
some
greater
fortunes
then
sheepcotes
could
containe
,
and
therefore
it
behooued
her
to
further
his
Destinies
with
some
good
and
liberal
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
tyrannizing
so
Lordly
ouer
the
Boyes
,
left
the
neighbour
Shepheards
might
haply
intrude
the
name
of
iniurie
on
them
being
Strangers
;
for
his
insulting
ouer
their
children
.
With
this
determination
came
shée
home
,
and
calling
for
Pleusidippus
,
according
to
their
former
counsaile
,
hée
would
〈◊〉
wise
bee
found
.
Thereupon
enquirie
was
made
among
all
the
Shepheards
,
diligent
search
in
euery
Village
,
but
stil
the
most
carefullest
Post
returned
with
,
Non
est
in●entus
.
Which
Samela
hearing
,
thinking
shee
had
vtterly
lost
him
whom
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
hitherto
fed
mee
with
●ouie
,
that
ye
might
at
last
poyson
me
with
gall
.
Haue
you
●atted
mee
so
long
witly
Sordenian
smiles
,
that
like
the
wracke
of
the
Syrens
,
I
might
perish
in
your
wiles
?
Curst
that
I
was
to
a●●ie
in
your
courtesse●
curst
that
I
am
to
taste
of
your
crueltie
!
O
,
Plousidippus
,
liuest
thou
,
or
art
thou
dead
?
No
,
thou
art
dead
,
dead
to
the
world
,
dead
to
thy
kinsfolkes
,
dead
to
Cypres
,
dead
to
Arcadie
,
dead
to
thy

Samela
:
and
with
thee
dyes
the
Worlds

,
thy
kinsfolkes
comfort
,
Cypres
soule
,
Arcadies
hopes
,
thy

.
Was
this
the
prophecy
of
thy
Soueraignty
,
to
yéeld
vp
thy
life
:
to
death
so
〈◊〉
?
wretched
was
I
of
all
women
,
to
bring
the
forth
to
this
infencie
.
O

The●i●
,
that
didst
reuolue
such
vneuitable
fate
:
hard-hearted
death
to
prosecute
me
with
such
hate
.
Haue
we
therefore
escap●e
the

of

seas
,
to
pepish
on
the
land
?
was
it
not
enough
that
we
were
exiled
from
higher
prosperitie
,
but
wee
must
all
of

suddenly
be
ouerwhelmed
with
the
ouerflow
of
a
second
aduersitie
?
my

&
my

to

in

fury
of

and

and
therewith

of

as
stopt

of

Menaphon
,
who
had
ouer-heard
her
all
this
while
,
as
one
that
sought
opportunitie
to
plead
his
vnrest
,
perceiuing
her
in
that
extremitie
of
agony
for

supposed

then
were
it

is
fruitlesse

bootlesse

comfort
your selfe
with
the

the

I

I

〈◊〉

when
I

Th●se

said
she
,
that
out-countenante
Menaphon
and
his

,
&
are
better
able
then
your selfe
:
but
howsoeuer
I
find
their
●auour
,
I
henceforth
de●ie
you
and
your
fellowship
.
And
therewith
in
great
rage
she
flung
away
into
the
next
chamber
,
where
her
vncle
Lamedon
lay
sleeping
,
who
complaining
of
Menaphons
discourtesses
,
he
strait
inuented
this
remedie
:
There
was
a
Shepheard
called
Moron
(
brother
to
Doron
)
that
not
long
before
dyed
of
a
surfet
,
whose
house
and
flocke
being
set
to
sale
after
his
decease
,
he
bought
them
both
forthwith
for
Samela
,
with
certaine
remainder
of
money
he
had
,
and
therein
enfeoffed
her
,
maugre
the
furie
of
Menaphon
,
who
when
he
saw
she
was
able
to
support
her
state
without
his
purse
,
became
sicke
for
anger
,
and
s●ent
whole
Eglogues
in
anguish
.
Sometime
lying
comi●ties
in
his
h●d
,
he
would
complain
him
to
the
windes
,
of
his
〈◊〉
in
these
or
such
like
words
:
Forlorne

And
therewith
stretehed
himselfe
vpon

as
thinking

was
〈◊〉

No
sooner
had
Menaphon
ended
this
Dittie
,
but
Pesana
hearing
that
he
was
lately
falne
sicke
,
and
that
Samela
and
he
were
at
mortall
iarres
,
thinking
to
make
hay
while
the
Sunne
shined
,
and
take
opportunitie
by
her
forelocks
,
comming
into
his
chamber
,
vnder
pretence
to
visit
him
,
fell
into
these
termes
:
Why
,
how
now
,
Menaphon
,
hath
your
new
change
driuen
you
to
a
night-cap
?
Beleeue
mee
,
this
is
the
strangest
effect
of
loue
that
euer
I
saw
,
to
fréeze
so
quickly
the
heart
the
is
set
on
fire
so
lately
.
Why
,
may
it
not
be
a
burning
feuer
aswell
,
quoth
Menaphon
,
blushing
?
Nay
,
that
can
not
bee
,
said
Pesana
,
since
you
shake
for
colde
,
not
sweate
for
heat
.
Why
,
if
it
be
so
,
it
is
long
of
cold
entertainment
.
Why
,
said
Pesana
,
hath
your
h●te
entertainment
r●●led
your
courage
?
No
,
but
her
vndeserued
hate
quite
hindred
my
conquest
.
You
know
,
said
Pesana
,
where
you
might
haue
beene
let
in
long
ere
this
,
without
either
〈◊〉
any
such
batterie
.
With
this
the
Shepheard
was
〈◊〉
▪
and
Pesana
ashamed
:
but
at
length
regathering
his
spiri●●
,
to
bowray
his
Martyrdome
,
and
make
his
old
Mistris
some
new
musicke
,
hee
strained
forth
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
doe
you
spring
thus
?
What
will
not
B●re●
temp●st●
wrathfull
King
take
some
pittie
on
vs
?
And
send
forth
winter
in
rustie
weed
,
to
waile
my
bemonings
;
Whiles
I
distrest
doe
tune
my
Countrey
●●ed
vnto
my
g●●ings
.
But
heauen
,
and
earth
,
time
,
place
,
and
euery
power
,
haue
with
her
conspired
,
To
turne
my
blissefull
sweet
to
balefull
sowre
,
since
I
fond
desired
.
The
heauen
,
whereto
my
thoughts
may
not
aspire
,
aye
me
vnhappy
:
It
was
my
fault
t'
imbrace
my
bane
the
fire
,
that
forceth
me
to
dye
.
Mine
be
my
paine
,
but
hers
the
cruell
cause
of
thi●
strange
torment
:
Wherefore
no
time
my
banning
prayers
shall
pause
,
till
proud
she
repent
.
Well
I
perceiue
,
said
Pesana
,
for
all
shee
hath
let
you
flye
like
a
Hawke
that
hath
lost
her
tyre
,
yet
you
meane
to
follow
sute
and
seruice
,
though
you
get
but
a
handful
of
smoke
to
the
bargaine
.
Not
so
,
said
Menaphon
,
but
perhaps
I
séeke
to
returne
an
il
bargaine
,
as
deare
as
I
bought
it
.
If
you
do
so
,
you
are
wiser
then
this
kercher
sheweth
you
,
said
Pesana
.
Much
idle
prattle
to
this
and
had
Menaphon
with
Pesana
in
his
sicknesse
;
and
long
it
was
not
,
but
that
with
good
dyet
and
〈…〉
(
especially
by
her
carefull
atdendance
)
he
began
to
〈◊〉
or
vp
his
〈◊〉
,
and
listen
by
little
and
little
to
the
lo●●
〈◊〉
storned

Leaue

either

societie
,
and
l●t
vs

backe
to
Thessalie
,
where
Samelac●
stripling
(
now
growne
vp
to
the
age
of
16.
yéeres
)
flourisht
in
honor
&
feats
of
Armes
aboue
all
the
Knights
of
the
Court
,
insomuch
,
that
the
〈◊〉
of
his
fame
,
was
the
only
news
talkt
on
throughout
euery
〈◊〉
in
Greece
.
But
Olympia
,
the
mistris
of
his
prowesse
(
for
〈◊〉
was
the
Kings
daughter
named
)
was
〈◊〉
that
most
of
all
●xulted
in
the
farre
renowned
reports
of
his
martiall
perfections
,
to
whose
prayse
hee
did
consecrate
all
his
ende●ours
,
to
whose
exquisite
forme
hee
did
dedicate
all
his
aduentures
.
But
Hel-borne
fame
,
the
eldest
daughter
of
Bryoni●
,
enuying
the
felicitie
of
these
two
famous
louers
,
dismounted
eftsoones
from
her
brasse-sounding
buildings
,
and
〈◊〉
her selfe
of
her
secrets
in
the
presence
of
yong
〈◊〉
,
among
whose
Catalogue
the
had
not
forgot
to
discouer
the
incomparable
beauty
of
the
Arcadian
Shepheardesse
,
wherof
the
young
Prince
no
sooner
had
receiued
an
inkling
,
but
hée
〈◊〉
vpon
thornes
till
hée
had
satisfied
his
desire
with
her
sight
.
Therefore
on
a
time
sitting
with
his
Mistris
at
supper
,
when
for
table-talke
it
was
debated
amongst
them
,
what
Countrey
〈◊〉
the
most
accomplished
Dames
for
all
things
?
after
strangers
and
others
had
deliuered
vp
their
opinions
without
partialitie
,
one
among
them
all
▪
who
had
béene
in
Arcadie
,
gaue
vp
his
verdit
thus
fréely
:
Gentlewoman
(
quoth
hee
)
hee
it
no
disgrace
for
the
Moone
to
stoop
to
the
Sunne
,
for
the
Stars
to
giue
place
when
Titan
appeares
:
then
I
hope
neyther
the
Thessalians
will
●ee
moued
,
nor
the
Grecians
agréeued
,
if
I
make
Apoll●s
Arcadie
,
beauties
meridian
:
Neither
will
I
proceed
heerein
as
our
Philosophical
Po●ts
are
wont
,
that
muster
euery
mouer
in
the
Zodiacks
,
euery
●●xed
Starre
in
the
Firmament
,
euery
elementall
word
of
art
in
an
Almanacke
,
to
proue
that
Countrey
for
beautie
most
canonicall
where
their
Mistris
abideth
:
when
as
(
God
w●t
)
had
they
but
learned
of
Apelles
,
N●
Sutor
〈◊〉
or
〈◊〉
,
they
would
not
haue
aspired
aboue
their
birth
,
or
talked
beyond
their
sowterly
bringing
vp
.
Our
Arcadian
Nymphs
are
faire
and
beautifull
,
thoug●
not
begotten
of
the
Suns
bright
rayes
,
whose
eyes
vaunt
loues
armory

,
whose
angelical

are
to
the
●bs●●●●

instéed
of
●●rmament
:
view
but
this
counterfeit
,
(
and
therewithal
he
shewed
the
picture
of
Samela
)
and
sée
if
it
be
not
of
〈◊〉
to
draw
the
Sun
from
his
Sphere
,
or
the
Moone
from
her
Circle
,
to
gaze
as
the
one
did
on
the
beautie
of
Daphne
,
or
al
night
contemplate
as
the
other
on
the
forme
of
Endymion
.
Pleusidippus
,
who
all
this
while
heard
his
Tale
with
attentiue
patience
,
no
sooner
beheld
the
radiant
glorie
of
this
resplendant
face
,
but
as
a
man
already
installed
in
eternitie
,
hee
exclaimed
thus
abruptly
:
O
Arcady
,
Arcady
,
●or●houses
of
nymphs
,
&
nursery
of
beutie
!
At
which
words
Olympia
starting
vp
sodainly
,
as
if
she
a
second
Iuno
,
had
taken
her
Ioue
in
bed
with
Alcmens
;
and
ouercasting
the
Chamber
with
a
frowne
that
was
able
to
mantle
the
World
with
an
eternall
night
,
she
made
passage
to
her
choler
in
these
termes
of
contempt
:
Beardlesse
vpstart
of
I
know
not
whence
,
haue
the
fauors
of
my
bountie
(
not
thy
desert
)
entred
thee
so
déeply
in
ouer-wéening
presumption
,
that
thou
shouldest
be
the
formost
in
derogation
of
o●●
dignity
&
blaspheming
of
my
beauty
?
I
tell
thée
miscreant
,
I
scorne
thy
clownish
Arcadie
with
his
inferior
comparisons
,
as
one
that
prizeth
her
perfection
aboue
any
created
constitution
.
Pleusidippus
,
vpon
this
spéech
stood
plunged
in
a
great
perplexitie
,
whether
he
should
excuse
himselfe
mildely
,
or
take
her
vp
roundly
:
but
the
latter
béeing
more
leuell
to
his
humour
then
the
former
,
hée
began
thus
to
rowze
vp
his
furie
:
Disdainfull
dame
,
that
vpbraidest
mée
with
my
birth
as
it
were
base
,
and
my
youth
as
it
were
boyish
:
know
that
though
my
Parents
and
Progeny
are
enuied
by
obscuritie
,
yet
the
sparkes
of
renowne
that
make
my
Eagle-minded
thoughts
to
mount
the
heauenly
fire
imprisoned
in
the
pannicles
of
my
crest
,
inciting
me
to
more
déeds
of
honour
,
then
stout
Perseus
effected
with
his
sauch●n
in
the
fields
of
Hesperia
,
ascertaines
my
soule
I
was
the
Son
of
n●
coward
,
but
a
gentleman
:
but
〈…〉
of
parentage
,
is
such
an
●yesore
to
thy
enuy
,
hold
,
take
thy
sauors
(
and
there
with
he
threw
her
glo●e
)
and
immortalize
whom
thou
wilt
with
thy
toyes
,
for
I
will
to
Arcadie
in
spite
of
thée
,
and
thy
affinitie
,
there
either
to
〈◊〉
out
mischance
,
or
a
new
Mistris
.
With
this
,
in
a
great
●age
he
rose
from
the
hoord
,
&
would
haue
mounted
himselfe
to
●●part
in
that
moode
,
had
not
the
Lords
&
gentlemen
there
present
disswaded
him
from
such
an
vnaduised
enterprise
.
Neither
was
this
vnkindnesse
kept
so
secret
,
but
it
came
to
the
Kings
eare
as
hee
was
new
risen
from
dinner
,
who
for
the
loue
he
●ar●
to
Pleusidippus
,
whom
he
had
honored
with
Knighthood
not
long
before
,
and
for
the
toward
hopes
he
saw
in
him
,
took
paines
to
go
to
the
chamber
where
they
were
,
&
finding
his
daughter
in
strange
manner
perplexed
with
the
thoughts
of
Pleusidippus
departure
,
her
eyes
red
,
and
her
chéeks
all
to
be
blubberd
with
her
iealous
teares
,
he
took
her
vp
in
this
manner
.
Daughter
,
I
thought
I
had
chose
such
a
one
to
be
the
obiect
of
your
eye
,
as
ye
might
haue
euery
way
loued
and
honored
as
the
Lord
of
your
life
,
and
not
haue
controlled
as
the
slaue
of
your
lust
.
Did
I
therfore
grace
him
with
my
countenance
,
the
you
should
distaine
him
with
your
taunts
?
Péeuish
gyrle
,
I
aduise
thée
on
my
displeasure
,
eyther
reconcile
thy selfe
betimes
,
and
reforme
thy
vnreuerent
termes
,
or
I
will
disclaime
the
loue
of
a
Father
,
and
deale
by
thée
no
more
as
a
daughter
.
Olympia
,
who
already
had
sufficiently
bitten
on
the
bridle
,
took
these
words
more
vnkindly
then
all
her
former
bitternesse
,
which
shee
disgested
but
sowrely
:
neuerthelesse
making
necessitie
the
present
times
best
policie
,
shee
humbled
her selfe
as
shee
might
with
modestie
,
and
desired
the
best
interpretation
of
what
was
past
.
Pleusidippu●
,
whose
courteous
inclination
could
not
withstand
this
submission
,
in
signe
of
reconcilement
,
gaue
her
a
stoccado
des
labies
:
yet
was
he
not
so
reconciled
,
but
he
kept
on
his
purpose
of
going
to
Arcadie
,
wherat
Olympia
(
though
she
grudged
inwardly
,
yet
béeing

held
her
peace

and
determined
to
bestow
vpon
him
a
remembrance
,
wherby
he
might
be
brought
to
thinke
on
her
in
his
absence
,
which
was
the
deuice
of
a
bleeding
heart
flothig
in
the
Sea
wa●es
,
curiously
stamped
in
Gold
,
with
this
●otto
about
it
:
portum
aut
mortem
,
alluding
as
it
séemed
,
to
the
deuice
in
his
shield
,
wherein
(
because
it
was
taken
vp
by
Eurilochus
on
the
shore
)
was
cunningly
drawn
in
a
field
argent
,
the
sea
waues
with
Venus
sitting
on
the
top
,
in
token
that
his
affection
was
alreadie
fettred
.
Héere
hold
this
(
said
she
)
my
swéet
Pleusidippus
,
and
hang
it
about
thy
necke
,
that
when
thou
art
in
Arcadie
,
it
may
be
euer
in
thy
eye
,
so
shal
these
drops
of
ruth
that
paint
out
a
painful
truth
withdraw
thy
fancie
from
attracting
strange
beautie
:
which
said
,
the
teares
gusht
from
her
eyes
,
and
Agenors
likewise
,
who
gaue
him
nothing
so
much
in
charge
,
as
to
make
haste
of
his
retaine
.
Pleus●●ippus
,
though
hee
could
haue
bin
content
to
haue
done
the
like
for
companie
,
yet
hee
had
such
a
mind
on
his
iourney
,
that
he
brake
off
such
ceremonies
,
and
hasted
a
shipbord
,
&
in
a
Barke
bound
for
Arcadie
,
hauing
the
wind
fauorable
,
made
a
short
cut
:
so
as
in
a
day
and
nights
sailing
,
he
arriued
on
the
shore
ioyning
on
the
Promontorie
where
he
,
his
mother
,
and
Lamedon
were
first
wracked
.
Leaue
we
him
wandring
with
some
few
of
his
traine
that
came
with
him
along
the
sea-side
,
to
séeke
out
some
Towne
or
village
where
to
refresh
themselues
,
and
let
vs
a
while
to
the
Court
of
Democles
,
where
our
Historie
began
▪
who
hauing
committed
his
daughter
with
her
tender
babe
,
her
husband
Maximinus
and
Lamedon
his
vncle
,
without
eare
or
Mariner
,
to
the
fury
of
the
mercilesse
wanes
,
determined
to
leaue
the
succession
of
his
kingdome
to
vncertaine
chance
:
for
his
Q.
with
Sephestiacs
losse
(
whom
shée
déemed
to
bee
dead
)
tooke
such
thought
,
that
within
short
time
after
she
died
Democles
as
c●relesse
of
all
weathers
,
spent
his
time
Epicure-like
in
all
kind
of
pleasures
,
that
either
art
or
expence
might
affoord
,
so
as
for
his
dissolute
life
hee
seemed
another
Heliogabalus
,
deriuing
his
securitie
from
that
grounded
tranquilitie
,
which
made
it
prouerbiall
to
the
world
,
No
heauen
but
Arcadia
.
Hauing
spent
many
yéeres
in
this
varietie
of
vanitie
,
Fame
determining
to
apply
her selfe
to
his
fancie
,
s●nnded
in
his
eare
the
singular
beautie
of
his
daughter
Samela
:
he
although
hée
were
an
old
Colt
,
yet
had
not
cast
all
his
wanton
téeth
,
which
made
him
vnder
the
brute
of
being
sicke
of
a
grie●ous
Apoplexie
,
steale
from
his
Court
secretly
in
the
disguise
of
a
shepheard
,
to
come
and
séeke
out
Samela
,
who
not
a
little
proud
of
her
new
flocke
,
liued
more
contented
then
if
shée
had
béene
Quéene
of
Arcadie
,
and
Melicertus
ioying
not
a
little
that
shee
was
parted
from
Menaphon
,
vsed
euery
day
to
visite
her
without
dread
,
and
court
her
in
such
Shepheards
termes
as
hee
had
,
which
how
they
pleased
her
,
I
leaue
to
you
to
imagine
,
when
as
not
long
after
she
vowed
marriage
to
him
solemnely
in
presence
of
all
the
Shepheards
,
but
not
to
be
solemnized
till
the
prophecie
was
fulfilled
,
mentioned
in
the
beginning
of
this
Historie
.
Although
this
penance
excéeded
the
limits
of
his
patience
,
yet
hoping
that
the
Oracle
was
not
vttered
in
vaine
,
and
might
as
well
(
albeit
he
knew
not
which
way
)
be
accomplished
in
him
as
in
any
other
,
was
contented
to
make
a
vertue
of
necessitie
,
and
await
the
vtmost
of
his
destinie
.
But
Pleusidipp●s
,
who
by
this
time
had
perfected
his
policies
,
exchanging
his
garments
with
one
of
the
Heardgroomes
of
Menaphon
,
tracing
ouer
the
plaines
in
the
habite
of
a
shepheard
,
chanced
to
meet
with
Democles
as
hee
was
new
come
into
those
quarters
,
whom
mistaking
for
an
old
shepheard
he
began
many
impertinent
questions
belonging
to
the
Sheep-cotes
;
at
last
hee
asked
him
if
hee
knew
Samelaes
shéepfold
:
who
answering
doubtfully
to
all
alike
,
made
him
halfe
angry
:
and
had
not
Samela
passed
by
at
that
instant
,
to
fill
her
bottle
at
a
spring
néere
the
foot
of
the
Promontory
,
he
should
like
enough
haue
had
first
handsell
of
our
new
Shepheards
shéephooke
.
But
the
wonder
of
her
beautie
so
wrought
with
his
wounded
fancie
,
that
he
thought
report
a
partial
spreader
of
her
prayses
,
and
same
too
vase
to
talke
of
such
formes
.
Samela
espying
this
faire
shepheard
so
farre
ouergone
in
his
gazing
,
stept
to
him
,
and
asked
him
if
he
knew
her
that
he
so
ouerlookt
her
.
Pardon
me
,
faire
shepheardesse
(
said
Pleusidippus
,
)
if
it
be
a
fault
,
for
I
cannot
chose
being
Eagle-sighted
,
but
gaze
on
the
Sunne
the
first
time
I
sée
it
.
And
truly
I
cannot
chuse
but
compare
you
to
one
of
Aesops
Apes
,
that
finding
a
Glow-worme
in
the
night
,
tooke
it
for
a
fire
:
and
y●●
séeing
a
face
full
of
●eformitie●
,
mistake
it
for
the
Sun
.
Indéed
it
may
vs
mine
eye●
made
opposite
to
such
an
obiect
may
faile
in
their
office
,
hauing
their
lights
rebated
by
such
brightnesse
.
Nay
,
not
vnlike
,
quoth
Samela
,
for
else
out
of
doubt
you
would
sée
your
way
better
.
Why
,
quoth
Pleusidippus
,
I
cannot
go●
not
of
the
way
〈…〉
I
méete
such
glistering
Goddesses
in
my
way
▪
How
now
,
Sir
Paris
,
are
you
out
of
your
Arithmoticke
?
I
thinke
you
haue
lost
your
wits
with
your
eyes
,
that
mistake
Arcadie
for
Ido
,
and
a
Shepheardesse
for
a
Goddesse
.
How
euer
it
please
you
(
quoth
Pleusidippus
)
to
●●rogate
from
my
pr●wasse
by
the
title
of
Paris
,
know
that
I
am
not
so
farre
out
of
my
Arithmeticke
,
but
that
by
mistiplication
I
can
make
time
of
one
,
in
an
houres
warning
,
or
bee
as
good
as
a
cipher
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
dec●iue
me
,
will
enter
so
farre
in
art
,
as
,
niger
est
〈◊〉
albo
,
and
teach
me
how
to
discerne
twixt
blacke
and
white
.
Much
other
circumstance
of
prattle
passed
betwéene
them
,
which
the
Arcadian
records
doe
not
shew
,
nor
I
remember
:
sufficeth
,
he
pleaded
loue
,
and
was
rep●lst
:
which
droue
him
into
such
a
choler
,
that
meeting
him
supposed
Shepheard
,
who
lying
vnder
a
bush
had
al
this
while
euer-heard
them
,
hee
entred
into
such
termes
of
indignation
,
as
Ioue
shaking
his
earth-quaking
hayre
,
when
h●
sate
in
consultation
of
Licaon
.
Wherefore
Democl●s
perceiuing
Pleusidippus
repulst
,
who
was
euery
way
graced
with
the
ornaments
of
nature
,
beganne
to
cast
ouer
his
badde
penny-worths
,
in
whose
face
age
had
surrowed
her
wrinckles
,
except
he●
should
lay
his
Crowne
downe
at
her
féete
,
and
tell
her
hee
was
King
of
Arcadia
;
which
in
Common-wealth●
respects
,
séeming
not
commodi●ns
,
hee
thought
to
turns
a
new
leafe
,
and
make
thisyoung
Shepheard
the
meanes
to
perfect
his
purpose
.
He
had
not
farre
from
that
place
a
strong
Castle
,
which
was
inhabited
as
then
by
none
but
Tilsmen
and
Heardgr●mes
,
thither
did
be
perswade
Pleusidippus
to
carry
her
perforce
,
and
●●ert
that
by
constraint
,
that
he
could
not
atchiue
by
entreaty
;
who
listning
not
a
little
to
this
counsaile
,
that
was
neuer
plotted
for
his
aduantage
,
presently
put
in
practice
what
hee
of
late
ga●e
in
precepts
,
and
waiting
till
the
euening
that
Samela
should
fold
her
shéepe
;
hauing
giuen
hi●
men
the
watch-word
,
ma●ger
all
the
shepheardes
adioyning
,
he
mounted
her
behind
him
;
and
being
by
Democles
directed
to
the
Castle
,
hee
made
such
ha●orke
among
the
stubboorne
.
Heardsmen
,
that
will
they
,
nill
they
,
he
was
Lord
of
the
Castle
.
Yet
might
not
this
preuaile
with
Samela
,
who
constant
to
her
olde
shepheard
,
would
not
entertaine
any
new
loue
:
which
made
Plousidippus
thi●●lle
all
his
Haruest
lost
in
the
reaping
,
and
bl●mish
all
his
delights
with
a
mournfull
drooping
.
But
Democles
,
that
lookt
for
a
mountaine
of
Gold
in
a
Mole-hill
,
finding
her
alone
,
beganne
to
discourse
his
loue
in
more
ample
mann●r
then
euer
Pleusidippus
,
telling
her
how
hee
was
a
King
,
what
his
reuenewes
were
,
what
power
hee
had
to
aduance
her
,
with
many
other
proude
vaunts
of
his
wealth
,
and
prodigall
termes
of
his
treasure
.
Samela
hearing
the
name
of
a
King
,
and
perceiuing
him
to
be
her
Father
,
stood
amazed
like
Medusae
.
Metamorphosis
,
and
blushing
〈◊〉
with
intermingled
sighes
,
beganne
to
thinke
how
iniurious
Fortune
was
to
her
shewne
in
such
an
incestuous
Father
:
but
hee
,
hote-spurred
in
his
purpose
,
gaue
her
no
time
to
deliberate
or
consider
of
the
matter
,
but
required
either
a
quick
consent
,
or
a
present
deniall
.
She
told
him
,
that
the
Shepheard
Mdicertu●
was
alreadie
intitled
in
the
ine●rest
of
her
beautie
,
wherefore
it
was
in
vaine
what
hee
or
any
〈◊〉
th●●
could
plead
in
the
way
of
perswasion
.
●●ee
thereupon
entring
into
a
large
field
of
the
basenesse
of
shepheards
,
and
royalties
of
Kings
,
with
many
other
assembled
sembled
arguments
of
delight
,
that
would
haue
fetche
Venus
from
her
Sphere
to
dispo●●
:
but
Samela
,
whose

could
disgest
no

meate
saue
only
her
swéet
Melicertus
,
ashamed
so
long
to
hold
●arley
with
her
father
about
such
a
matter
,
flung
away
to
her
withdrawing
Chamber
in
a
dissembled
rage
;
and
there
,
after
her
wonted
manner
bewailed
her
misfortune●
.
Democles
,
plunge●
thus
in
a
Labyrinth
of
restlesse
passions
,
seeing
Melicertus
figure
was
so
de●ply
printed
in
the
centre
of
her
thoughts
,
as
neyther
the

of
his

his
Metamorphosis

Crownes
,
Kingdome
,
preferments
,
(
batteries
that
soone
ouer

)
when
Democles
,
I
say
,
saw
that
none
of
these
could
remoue
Samela
,
hearing
that
the
Arcadian
Shepheards
were
in
an
vprore
for
the
losse
of
their
beautifull
,
Shepheardesse
,
his
hote
loue
changing
to
a
bird
of
coy
disdaine
,
hee
intended
by
some
reuenge
,
eyther
to
obtaine
his
loue
,
or
satisfie
his
hate
:
whereupon
throughly
resolued
,
hee
stole
away
secretly
in
his
shepheards
apparell
,
and
got
him
downe
to
the
plaines
,
where
he
found
all
the
Swaines
in
a
mutinie
about
the
recouery
of
their
beautifull
Paragon
.
Democles
stepping
amongst
the
rowte
,
demaunded
the
cause
of
their
controuersie
.
Mary
sir
,
quoth
Doron
,
bluntly
,
the
flower
of
all
our
garland
is
gone
.
How
meane
you
that
sir
,
quoth
hee
?
We
had
,
answered
Doron
,
an
Ewe
amongst
our
Rams
,
whose
sléece
was
as
white
as
the
hayres
that
grow
on
Father
Boreas
chinne
,
or
as
the
dangling
dewlap
of
the
siluer
Bull
,
her
front
curled
like
to
the
Erimanthyan
Boare
,
and
spangled
like
to
the
worsted
stockings
of
Saturne
,
her
face
like
Mars
treading
vpon
the
milke-white
cloudes
:
beléeue
me
,
Shepheard
,
her
eyes
like
the
fierie
torches
tilting
against
the
Moone
:
This
Paragon
,
this
none
,
such
,
this
Ewe
,
this
Mistris
of
our
flockes
,
was
by
a
wily
Fox
stolne
from
our
folds
,
for
which
these
shepheards
assemble
themselues
to
recouer
so
wealthy
a
prize
.
What
is
hee
,
quoth
Menaphon
,
that
Doron
is
in
such
debate
with
?
Fellow
,
canst
thou
tell
vs
any
newes
of
the
faire
Shepherdesse
,
that
the
Knight
of
Thessalie
hath
carried
away
from
her
fellow
Nymphes
.
Democles
thinking
to
take
apportunitie
by
the
forehead
,
&
séeing
time
had
feathered
his
bolt
,
willing
to
assay
as
he
might
to
hit
the
marke
,
began
thus
.
Shepheards
,
you
sée
my
profession
is
your
trade
,
and
although
my
wandring
fortunes
bee
not
like
your
home-borne
fauours
,
yet
were
I
in
the
Groues
of
Thess●lian
Tempe
,
as
I
am
in
the
plaines
of
Arcadie
,
the
Swaines
would
giue
me
as
many
due
honors
,
as
they
present
you
héere
with
submisse
reuerence
.
Beauty
that
drew
Apollo
from
heauen
to
play
the
Shepheard
,
that
fetcht
Ioue
from
heauen
to
beare
the
shape
of
a
Bull
for
Agenors
daughter
,
the
excellence
of
such
a
metaphysicall
vertue
,
I
mean
(
shepheards
)
the
fame
of
your
faire
Samela
,
houering
in
the
eares
of
euery
man
as
a
miracle
of
nature
,
brought
mee
from
Thessaly
to
féed
mine
eyes
with
Arcadies
wonder
:
stepping
alongst
the
shore
to
come
to
some
sheepecote
,
where
my
wearie
limmes
might
haue
rest
.
Loue
that
for
my
labors
thought
to
lead
me
to
fancies
pauillion
,
was
my
conduct
to
a
Castle
,
where
a
Thessalian
Knight
lyes
in
hold
;
the
Portcullis
was
let
downe
,
the
bridge
drawne
,
the
court
of
gard
kept
:
thither
I
went
,
&
for
my
tongue
I
was
knowne
to
be
a
Thessalian
,
I
was
entertained
and
lodged
:
the
Knight
whose
yeeres
are
yong
,
and
valure
matchlesse
,
holding
in
his
armes
a
Lady
more
beautifull
then
Loues
Quéene
,
all
blubbred
with
teares
,
asked
me
many
questions
,
which
as
I
might
I
replyed
vnto
:
but
while
he
talkt
,
mine
eye
surfeiting
with
such
excellence
,
was
detained
vpon
the
glorious
shew
of
such
a
wonderfull
obiect
:
I
demaunded
what
she
was
,
of
the
standers
by
,
and
they
said
she
was
the
faire
Shepheardesse
,
whom
the
Knight
had
taken
from
the
Swains
of
Arcadie
;
and
would
carry
with
the
first
wind
that
serued
into
Thessalie
:
this
(
shepheards
)
I
know
,
and
grieue
that
thus
your
loues
should
be
ouermatcht
with
Fortune
,
and
your
affections
puld
backe
vp
contrarietie
or
destinie
.
Melicertus
hearing
this
,
the
fire
sparkling
out
of
his
eyes
,
began
thus
,
I
tell
thée
,
shepheard
,
if
Fates
with
their
fore-pointing
pensils
did
pen
downe
,
or
fortune
with
the
deepe
varietie
resolue
,
or
loue
with
his
greatest
power
determine
to
depriue
Arcadia
of
the
beautifull
Samela
,
wee
would
with
our
bloud
signe
downe
such
spels
on
the
plaines
;
that
either
our
gods
should
summon
her
to
Elizium
,
or
she
rest
with
vs
quiet
&
fortunate
:
thou
séest
the
shepheards
are
vp
in
Arimes
to
reuenge
,
only
it
rests
who
shal
haue
the
honor
and
principalitie
of
the
field
.
What
néeds
that
question
,
quoth
Menaphon
,
am
not
I
the
Kings
Shepheard
,
and
chiefe
of
all
the
bordering
Swaines
of
Arcadia
?
I
grant
,
quoth
Melicertus
,
but
am
not
I
a
Gentleman
,
though
tyred
in
a
Shepheards
skincote
,
superior
to
thée
in
birth
,
though
equall
now
in
profession
?
Wel
,
from
words
they
had
falne
to
blowes
,
had
not
the
shepheards
parted
them
,
and
for
the
auoiding
of
further
troubles
,
it
was
agréed
that
they
should
in
two
Eglog●es
make
description
of
their
loue
:
and
Democles
,
for
he
was
a
stranger
,
to
fit
Censor
,
and
who
best
could
decipher
his
Mistris
perfection
,
should
be
made
generall
of
the
rest
.
Menaphon
and
Melicereus
condestended
to
this
motion
,
and
Democles
sitting
as
a
Iudge
,
the
rest
of
the
shepheards
standing
as
witnesses
of
this
combate
,
Menaphon
began
thus
.
Menaphons
Eglogue
.
Too
weake
the
wit
,
too
slender
is
the
braine
,
That
meanes
to
marke
the
power
and
worth
of
loue
:
Not
one
that
liues
(
excep
the
hap
to
proue
)
Can
tell
the
sweet
,
or
tell
the
secret
paine
.
Yet
I
that
haue
beene
prentice
to
the
griefe
,
Like
to
the
cunning
Sea-man
,
from

By

of
that
starre
,
Whose
influence

You
Censors
of
the
glory
of
my
deare
,
With
reuerence
,
and
lowly
bent
of
knee
:
Attend
and
marke
what
her
perfections
be
,
For
in
my
words
my
fancies
shall
appeare
.
Her
lockes
are
plighted
like
the

of
wooll
,
That
Iason
with
his
Grecian
mates
atchiu'de
:
As
pure
as
gold
,
yet
not
from
gold
deriu'd
,
As
full
of
sweets
,
as
sweet
of
sweets
is
full
:
Her
browes
are
prettie
tables
of
conceit
,
Where
loue
his
records
of
delight
doth
qu●te
:
On
them
her
dallying
lockes
doe
daily
●lore

As
loue

feede
vpon

Her

,
faire

liketh
the
purest

That
animate

or

In
whom
the
shining

Whiles

Her
cheeke●
like

Lillies
steept

Or
faire
Pomegranate
kernels

:
Or
snow-white
threds
,
in
nets
of
crimson
silke
,
Or
gorgeous
cloudes
vpon
the
Sunnes
decline
.
Her
lips
like
Roses
ouerw●sht
with

,
Or
like
the
purple

Nar●issus
flower
:
No
frost
their
faire

no
winde
doth
waste
their
power
,
But
by
her
breath
,
her
beauties
doe
renew
.
Her
christall
chin
like
to
the
purest

,
Enchac'd
with
daintiest
Daisies
soft
and
white
:
Where
fancies
faire
Pauilion
once

pight
,
Whereas
imbrac'd
his
beauties
he
doth

Her
necke
like
to
an
I●orie
shining
Towre
,
Where
through
with
azure
veines
sweet
Nectar
runne●
:
Or
like
the
downe

Swannes
where
S●ness●
wo●nes

Or
like

deuoure
.
Her
paps
are
like
faire
Apples
in

As
round
as
orient

,
as
soft
as
downe

They

But

Her

The

(

Whose

all

Her

the

Not

for
why
no

:
O

Or

the

Deuour'd

how

What

I
must
diuine

Who
talkes

can

Few

All

Serues

Whereby

Seld

Teares

Truce-men

How

is
loue
to
them
that
can
dissemble
,
In
thoughts
and

,
till
they
haue
reapt
the

A
lonely
I

and
what
I

I
thinke

yet
what
I

tell
:
Sweet
Censors
,
take
my
silly
worst

:
My
faith
is
firme

though

After
the
haplesse
Menaphon
had
in
this
homely
discourse
shadowed
his
heauenly
●rlight
,
the
shepheard
Melicertus
,
after
some
pause
,
began
in
this
sort
.
Melicertus
Eglogue
.
What
need
compare
,
where
sweet
exceeds
compare
?
Who
drawes
his
thoughts
of
loue
from
fencelesse
things
,
Their
pompe
and
greatest
glorie
doth
impaire
,
And
mount
Loues
heauen
with
ouer-leaden
wings
.
Stones
,
hearbes
,
and
flowers
,
the
foolish
spoiles
of
earth
,
Flouds
,
metals
,
colours
,
dalliance
of
the
eye
:
These
shew
,
conceit
is
stain'd
with
too
much
dearth
:
Such
abstract
fond
compares
make
cunning
dye
.
But
he
that
hath
the
feeling
taste
of
loue
,
Deriues
his
essence
from
no
earthly
ioy
:
A
weake
conceit
his
power
cannot
approue

For
earthly
thoughts
are

My
fellow-swaine
▪
h●as
told
a
prettie
Tale
,
Which
moderne
Poets
may
perhap●
allow
,
Yet
I
condemne
the
termes
,
for
they
are
stale
.
Apollo
,
when
my
Mistris
first
was
borne
,
Cut
off
his
lockes
,
and
left
them
on
her
head
,
And
said
,
I
plan●
these
wires
in
Natures
scorne
,
Whose
beauty
shall
appeare
when
Time
is
dead
.
From
forth
the
Christall
Heauen
,
when
she
was
made
,
The
puritie
thereof
did
●aint
her
brow
:
On
which
the
glist'ring
Sunne
that
sought
the
shade
,
Gan
set
,
and
there
his
glories
,
doth
auow
.
Those
eyes
,
faire
eyes
,
too
faire
to
be
describde
,
Were
those
that
earst
the
Chaos
did
reforme
:
To
whom
the
heauens
their
beauties
haue
ascribde
,
That
fashion
life
in
man
,
in
beast
,
in
worme
.
When
first
her
faire
delicious
cheekes
were
wrought
,
Aurora
brought
her
blush
,
the
Moone
her
white
:
Both
so
combinde
as
passed
natures
thought
,
Compilde
those
prettie
Orbes
of
sweet
delight
.
When
Loue
and
Nature
once
were
proude
with
play
,
From
both
their
lips
her
lips
the
corrall
drew
:
On
them
doth
fancie
sleepe
,
and
euerie
day
Doth
swallow-ioy
,
such
sweet
delights
to
view
.
Whilome
,
while
Venus
sonne
did
seeke
a
bowre
,
To
sport
with
Psiches
,
his
desired
deare
,
He
chose
her
chin
,
and
from
that
happy
stowre
,
He
neuer
stints
in
glorie
to
appeare
.
Desires
and
ioyes
that
long
had
serued
Loue
,
Behold
a
hold
,
whence
prettie
eyes
might
woo
them
;
Loue
made
her
necke
,
and
for
their
bost
behoue
Hath
shut
them
there
,
whence
no
man
can
vndoe
them
.
Once
Venus
dreamt
vpon
two
pretie
things
,
Her
thoughts
they
were
affections
chiefest
nests
:
She
suckt
and
sighde
,
and
bathde
her
in
the
springs
,
And
when
she
wakte
,
they
were
my
Mistris
brests
.
Once
Cupid
sought
a
hold
to
couch
his
kisses
,
And
found
the
bodie
of
my
best
belou'd
,
Wherein
he
closde
the
beautie
of
his
blisses
,
And
from
that
bowre
can
neuer
be
remou'd
.
The
Graces
earst
,
when
Alcedelian
springs
▪
Were
waxen
drie
,
perhaps
did
find
her
fountaine
Within
the
bale
of
blisse
,
where
Cupids
wings
Doe
shield
the
Nectar
fleeting
from
the
mountaine
.
No
more
,
fond
man
:
things
infinite
,
I
see
,
Brooke
no
dimension
:
hell
a
foolish
speech
,
For
endlesse
things
may
neuer
talked
be
,
Then
let
me
liue
to
honour
and
beseech
.
Sweet
Natures
pompe
,
if
my
deficient
phrase
Hath
stain'd
thy
glories
by
too
little
skill
,
Yeeld
pardon
,
though
mine
eye
that
long
did
gaze
,
Hath
left
no
better
patterne
to
my
quill
.
I
will
no
more
,
no
more
will
I
detaine
Your
listning
eares
with
dalliance
of
my
tongue
:
I
speake
my
ioyes
,
but
yet
conceale
my
paine
,
My
paine
too
olde
,
although
my
yeeres
be
young
.
As
soone
as
Melicertus
had
ended
this
Eglogse
,
they
expected
the
doome
of
Democles
,
who
hearing
the
swéete
description
,
wherein
Melicertus
described
his
Mistris
,
wondered
that
such
rare
conceits
could
bee
harboured
vnder
a
Shepheards
gray
clothing
:
at
last
hee
made
this
answere
.
Arcadian
Swaines
,
whose
wealth
is
content
,
whose
labours
●●e
tempered
with
sweete
loues
,
whose
mindes
aspire
not
,
whose
thoughts
brooke
no
enuie
,
only
as
riuals
in
affection
,
you
are
friendly
emulato●●
in
honest
fan●ie
:
sith
fortune
(
as
enemie
to
your
quiet
)
hath
rest
you
of
your
faire
Shepheardesse
(
the
worlds
wonder
,
&
Arcadies
miracle
)
and
one
of
you
as
champion
must
lead
the
rest
to
reuenge
,
both
destrous
to
shew
your
valor
as
your
forwardnesse
in
affection
,
&
yet
(
as
I
said
)
one
to
be
whole
chieftaine
of
the
traine
,
I
awarde
to
Melicertus
that
honour
(
as
to
him
that
hath
most
curiously
portraied
out
his
Mistris
excellence
)
to
heare
the
sole
rule
and
supremacie
.
At
this
,
Menaphon
grudged
,
and
Melicertus
was
in
an
extasse
of
ioy
,
so
that
gathering
all
his
●orces
together
of
stout
head-strong
clownes
amounting
to
the
number
of
some
aco
.
hee
apparrelled
him selfe
in
armor
,
colour
sabled
,
as
mourning
for
his
Mistris
:
in
his
shield
hee
had
figured
the
waues
of
the
sea
,
Venus
sitting
on
them
in
the
height
of
all
her
pride
.
Thus
marched
Melicertus
forward
with
old
Domocle●
,
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
many
shéepish
Caualiers
could
furnish
:
which
when
hee
had
done
,
summoned
them
in
the
Castle
to
parley
:
the
young
Knight
slept
vpon
the
wals
,
and
séeing
such
a
crue
of
base
companions
,
with
iackets
and
rustie
bils
on
their
barkes
,
fell
into
a
great
laughter
,
and
began
to
taunt
them
thus
:
Why
,
what
strange
Metamorphosis
is
this
?
Are
the
plaines
of
Arcadie
,
whilome
filled
with
labourers
,
now
ouer-laide
with
Launces
?
Are
shéepe
transformed
into
men
,
swaines
into
souldiers
,
and
a
wandring
companie
of
poore
Shepheards
,
into
a
worthie
troupe
of
resolute
Champions
:
No
doubt
,
either
Pan
meanes
to
play
the
God
of
warre
,
or
else
these
be
but
such
men
as
rase
of
the
téeth
of
Cadmus
.
Now
,
I
sée
the
beginning
of
your
warres
,
and
the
pretended
end
of
your
stratagems
:
the
shepheards
hauing
a
madding
humor
like
the
Greekes
to
séeke
for
the
recouerie
of
Helena
,
so
you
for
the
regaining
of
your
faire
Samela
.
Héere
shée
is
a
shepheardesse
,
&
I
a
Priam
to
defend
her
with
resistance
of
a
ten
yéeres
st●ge●yet
,
for
I
were
loth
to
haue
any
castle
sacht
like
Troy
,
I
pray
you
tal●
me
,
which
is
Agamemnon
?
Melicertus
hearing
the
youth
speaking
thus
proudly
,
hauing
the
sparks
of
honor
fresh
vnder
the
cinders
of
pouertie
,
incited
with
loue
and
valour
,
(
two
things
to
animate
the
most
dastard
Thersites
to
enter
combat
against
Hercules
)
answered
thus
:
Vnknowne
yongster
of
Thessalie
,
if
the
feare
of
thy
hardy
deeds
,
were
like
the
diapas●n
of
thy
threats
,
wee
would
thinke
the
Castle
of
longer
siege
,
then
either
our
ages
would
permit
,
or
our
valour
aduenture
:
but
where
the
shelfe
is
most
shallow
,
there
the
water
breakes
most
high
:
emptie
vessels
haue
the
highest
sounds
,
hollow
rockes
the
●owdest
ecchoes
,
&
prattling
Gloriosors
the
smallest
performance
of
courage
:
for
proofe
whereas
,
swing
thou
hast
made
a
rape
of
faire
Samela
,
one
of
her
vowed
shepherds
is
come
for
the
safetile
of
her
word●
to
selfe
,
to
chall●nge
thée
to
single
combat
:
if
thou
ouercome
mée
,
thou
shalt
fréely
passe
with
the
shepherdesse
to
Thessalie
:
if
I
vanquish
thée
,
thou
shalt
feele
the
burden
of
thy
rashnesse
,
and
Samela
the
sweetnesse
of
her
libertie
.
Pleusidippus
maruelled
at
the
resolution
of
the
shepheard
:
but
when
Domocles
heard
how
if
he
wonne
,
she
should
be
transported
into
Thessalie
,
a
world
of
sorrows
tumbled
in
his
discontented
braine
,
that
hee
hammered
in
his
head
by
many
meanes
to
stay
the
faire
Samela
:
for
when
Pleusidippus
in
a
great
choler
was
readie
to
throw
downe
his
gantlet
,
and
to
accept
of
she
comda●●
Democles
stept
vp
,
and
spake
thus
:
Worthy
Mirrors
of
resolued
magnanimity
,
whose
thoughts
are
aboue
your
fortunes
,
and
whose
valour
more
than
your
reuenewes
,
know
that

Whelpes

that
there
is
no

sprung

nor
sooner

the

rotten

that

Then

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
exploits
,
when
honor
sits
on
wreaths
of
Laurell
to
giue
the
Vie●or
his
Garland
:
defer
it
some
thrée
daies
,
&
then
in
solemne
manner
end
the
combat
.
To
this
good
motion
,
not
only
Pleusidippus
,
and
Melicertus
agreed
,
but
all
the
company
were
consenting
,
and
vpon
pledges
of
truce
giuen
,
they
rested
.
But
Democle●
séeing
in
couert
hee
could
not
conquer
,
and
that
in
despairing
loues
secrecie
was
no
salue
,
he
dispatcht
letters
to
the
Nobilitie
of
his
Court
,
with
strait
charge
that
they
should
bée
in
that
place
within
three
daies
with
10000.

.
This
newes
came
no
sooner
to
the
Generall
of
his
forces
,
but
leuying
so
many
approued
Souldiers
,
hee
marched
secretly
by
night
to
the
place
Democles
in
his
Letters
had
prescribed
,
and
there
ioyfully
entertained
by
the
King
,
they
were
placed
in
ambash
,
readie
when
the
signall
should
hee
giuen
to
issue
out
of
the
place
,
&
performe

Soueraignes

.
Well
,
the
third
day
being
come
,
no
sooner
did
Titan
arise
from
the
watery
couch
of
his
Lemman
,
but
these
two
Champions
were
readie
in
the
lists
,
accompanied
with
the
rout
of
all
the
Arcadian
shepheards
,
and
old
Democles
whom
they
had
appointed
for
one
of
the
Iudges
.
Pleusidippus
séeing
Melicercus
aduance
on
his
shield
the
waues
of
the
Sea
,
with
a
Venus
sitting
vpon
them
,
maruelled
what
the
shepheard
should
be
that
gaue
this

,
and
Melicercus
was
as
much
amazed
to
sée
&
strange
Thessalian
Knight
vaunt
his
Armes
without
difference
:
yet
being
so
fraught
with
direful
reuenge
,
as
they
scorned
to
salute
each
other
so
much
as
with
threats
,
they
fell
toughly
to
blowes
.
Samela
standing
on
top
of
a
Turret
,
and
viewing
the
combat
,
the
poore
Lady
gréeuing
,
that
for
her
cause
such
a
stratageme
should
arise
in
Arcadie
,
her
countenance
full
of
sorrow
,
&
flouds
of
teares
falling
from
her
eyes
,
shee
began
to
breathe
out
her
passion
.
Vnfortunate
Samela
,
borne
to
mishaps
,
&
forepointed
to
sinister
fortunes
,
whose
bloomes
were
ripened
to
mischance
,
and
whose
fruit
is
like
to
wither
with
despaire
,
in
thy
youth
sate
discontent
pruning
her selfe
in
thy
forehead
,
now
in
thy
age
sorrow
hides
her selfe
amongst
the
wrinckles
of
thy
face
;
thus
art
thou
infortunate
in
the
prime
,
and
crossed
with
contrary
accidents
in
thy
autumne
,
as
haplesse
as
Helens
,
to
haue
the
burden
of
warres
laid
on
the
wings
of
thy
beauty
.
And
who
must
be
the
Champion
?
whose
sword
must
pierce
the
Helmet
of
thine
enemie
?
Whose
bloud
must
purchace
the
freedome
of
Samela
,
but
Melicercus
?
if
he
conquer
,
then
Samela
triumphs
,
as
if
shee
had
beene
chiefe
Victor
in
the
Olympiades
:
if
hee
lose
euery
droppe
falling
from
his
wounds
into
the
centre
of
his
thoughts
,
as
his
death
to
him
,
so
shall
it
be
to
me
,
the
end
of
my
loues
,
my
life
,
and
my
liberty
.
As
stil
she
was
about
to
goe
forward
in
her
passion
,
the
trumpet
sounded
,
and
they
fell
to
fi●ht
in
such
furious
sort
,
as
the
Arcadians
and
D●mocles
himselfe
wondred
to
sée
the
courage
of
the
Shepheard
,
that
he
tyed
the
Knight
to
such
a
●ore
taske
.
Pleusidippus
likewise
féeling
an
extraordinary
kind
of
force
,
&
séeing
with
what
courage
the
Knight
of
the
Shepheards
fought
,
began
to
coniecture
diuersly
of
the
warre
,
and
to
feare
the
euent
of
the
combat
.
On
the
contrary
part
,
Melicertus
halfe
wearied
with
the
heauie
blowes
of
Pleusidippus
,
stood
in
a
maze
how
so
yong
a
wa●
should
be
so
expert
in
his
weapon
.
Thus
debating
diuersly
in
their
seuerall
thoughts
,
at
length
being
both
weary
,
they
stept
backe
,
and
leaning
on
their
swords
,
tooke
breath
,
gazing
each
on
other
.
At
last
,
Pleusiddippus
burst
into
these
spéeches
.

with
that
he
gaue
such
a
charging
blow
at
Pleusidippus
helme
,
that
he
had
almost
ouer-turned
him
:
Pleusidippus
left
not
the
blow
vnrequited
,
but
doubled
his
force
:
insomuch
that
the
hazard
of
the
battell
was
doubtfull
,
and
both
of
them
were
●aine
to
take
breath
againe
.
Democles
séeing
his
time
,
that
both
of
them
were
so
weakened
,
gaue
the
watch-word
,
and
the

out
,
slaughtered
many
of
the
Shepheards
,
put
the

to

,
tooke
the
two
Champions
prisoners
,
and
sacking
the
Castle
,
carryed
them
and
the
faire
Samela
to
his
Court
:
letting
the
Shepheardesse
haue
her
liberty
,
but
putting
Melicertus
and
Pleusidippus
into
a
déep
and
darke
dungeon
.
Where
leauing
these
passionate
Louers
in
this
Catastrophe
,
againe
to
Doron
,
the
homely
blunt
Shepheard
:
who
hauing
béene
long
enamoured
of
Carmela
,
much
good
wooing
past
betwixt
them
,
and
yet
little
spéeding
:
at
last
,
both
of
them
met
hard
by
the
Promontory
of
Arcadie
,
shee
leading
forth
her
sheepe
,
and
he
going
to
sée
his
new
yeaned
Lambes
.
As
soone
as
they
met
,
breaking
a
few
quarter
blowes
with
such
country
glances
as
they
could
,
they
géered
one
at
another
louingly
.
At
last
,
Doron
manfully
began
thus
.
Carmela
,
by
my
troth
good
morrow
,
it
is
as
daintie
to
sée
you
abroad
,
as
to
eate
a
messe
of
swéet
milke
in
Iuly
:
you
are
proued
such
a
house-doue
of
late
,
or
rather
so
good
a
huswise
,
that
no
man
may
sée
you
vnder
a
couple
of
Capons
:
the
Church-yard
may
stand
long
enough
ere
you
will
come
to
looke
on
it
,
and
the
Piper
may
beg
for
euery
penny
he
gets
out
of
your
purse
:
but
it
is
no
matter
,
you
are
in
loue
with
some
stout
Ruffler
,
and
yet
poore
folkes
,
such
as
I
am
,
must
be
content
with
pottage
:
and
with
that
,
turning
his
backe
,
he
smiled
in
his
sléeue
,
to
sée
how
kindly
he
had
giuen
her
the
●ob
:
which
Carmela
séeing
,
she
thought
to
be
euen
with
him
thus
.
Indéed
,
Doron
,
you
say
will
,
it
is
long
since
we
met
,
and
our
house
is
a
grange
house
with
you
:
but
we
haue
tied
vp
the
great
dog
,
and
when
you
come
,
you
shall
haue
green
rushes
,
you
are
such
a
stranger
:
but
it
is
no
matter
,
soone
hote
,
soone
cold
,
he
that
mingles
himselfe
with
draffe
,
the
hogges
will
eate
him
:
and
shée
that
layes
her
loue
on
an
vnkind
man
,
shall
find
sorrow
enough
to
eate
her
sops
withall
.
And
with
that
,
Carmela
was
so
ful
stomackt
that
she
wept
.
Doron
,
to
shew
himselfe
a
naturall
yong
man
,
gaue
her
a
few
kind
kisses
to
comfort
her
,
and
sware
,
that
shee
was
the
woman
he
loued
best
in
the
World
,
and
for
proofe
(
quoth
he
)
thou
shalt
heare
what
I
will
prayse
:
and
you
(
quoth
she
)
what
I
will
performe
.
And
so
taking
hand
in
hand
,
they
kindly
sate
them
downe
,
and
began
to
discourse
their
loues
,
in
these
Eglogues
.
Dorons
Eglogues
ioyned
with
Carmelaes
.
Sit
downe
,
Carmela
,
heere
are
cubs
for
Kings
,
Slowes
blacke
as
Iet

or

Sweet

my

Sit

Carmela

Ah

As

Calfe
,
or

Cow
:
Thine
eyes
are
like
the
slow-wormes
in
the
night
,
Thine
haires
resemble
thickest
of
the
snow
.
The
lines
within
thy
face
are
deepe
and
cleere
,
Like
to
the
furrowes
of
my
fathers
waine
:
Thy
sweat
vpon
thy
face
doth
oft
appeare
,
Like
to
my
mothers
fat
and
kitchin
gaine
.
Ah
,
leaue
my
toe
,
and
kisse
my
lips
,
my
loue
,
My
lips
are
thine
,
for
I
haue
giuen
them
thee
:
Within
thy
cap
t
is
thou
shalt
weare
my
gloue
,
At
foot-ball
sport
thou
shalt
my
champion
be

Doron

That

such
are
thy

,
When

iumbled
there
withall
:
Thy
breath
is
like
the
steame
of
apple-pyes
.
Thy
lips
resemble
two
Cowcumbers
faire
,
Thy
teeth
like
to
the
tusks
of
fattest
swine
,
Thy
speech
is
like
the
thunder
in
the
ayre
:
Would
God
thy

,
thy
lips
and
all
were
mine
.
Carmela

Doron

What
thing
doth
moue
this
wishing
griefe
?
Doron
.
This
Loue
,
Carmela
,
ah
,
t
is
cruell
Loue
:
That
like
a
slaue
,
and
caytiue
villaine
theefe
,
Hath
cut
my
throat
of
ioy
for
my
behoue
.
Carmela
.
Where
was
he
borne
?
Doron
.
In
faith
I
know
not
where
:
But
I
haue
heard
much
talking
of
his
dart
:
Aye
me
poore
man
,
with
many
a
trickling
teare
,
I
feele
him
wound
the
forchearse
of
my
hart
.
What
,
doe
I
loue
?
O
no
,
I
doe
but
talke
.
What
,
shall
I
die
for
loue
?
O
no
,
not
so
:
What
,
am
I
dead
?
O
no
,
my
tongue
doth
walke
.
Come
kisse
Carmela
,
and
confound
my
woe
.
Carmela
.
Euen
with
this
kisse
,
as
once
my
father
did
,
I
seale
the
sweet
endentures
of
delight
:
Before
I
breake
my
vow
,
the
gods
forbid
,
No
not
by
day
,
nor
yet
by
darksome
night
.
Doron
.
Euen
with
this
garland
made
of
Holly-hocks
,
I
crosse
thy
browes
,
from
euery
shepheards
kisse
:
Heigh
ho
,
how
glad
am
I
to
touch
thy
locks
,
My
frolicke
heart
euen
now
a
free
man
is
.
Carmela
.
I
thanke
you
Doron
,
and
will
thinke
on
you
:
I
loue
you
Doron
,
and
will
winke
on
you
:
I
seale
your
chapter
parent
with
my
thums
,
Come
kisse
and
part
,
for
feare
my
mother
comes
.
Thus
ended
this
merrie
Eglogue
betwixt
Doron
and
Carmela
:

impa●●●d
the

Pleufidippus
with

:
for
that

the
