retir'd Then Phoebus with fair Winds their Bark insp'ir'd They top-mast hoisted and the sails set up The ship the parted Waves swiftly did cut When to the Camp they came and sandy shore They all took quarters as they did before Swift-foot Achilles near the Navy sate Angry and left the Councels of Estate Which honour men he never trod the field Pind call'd for War his stomack could not yeild Twelve Morns being past the gods did follow Jove And Mount Olympus him did Thetis move Rising from sea at the Morns first light She climbed Olympus in supremest height Of that high Hill she spy'd out Saturns Son Set from the rest in his free Seat alone She sate before him her left hand did hold His Knees the right his Chin then did unfold Her sons Petition If to thee I 've stood In word or deed grant me now this same good King Agamemnon to my son did bring A great disgrace revenge me this same thing Send help to Troy and let them over-run The Greeks till they give honor to my son Cloud-gathering Jove said nought but Thetis sate Holding his knee and still did him entreat Grant or deny said she just now my suite Thou fearest none why dost thou sit thus mute On my disgrace Cloud-gathering Jove reply'd Come what ills will thou shalt not be denyd Let Juno storm chide me amongst the gods And say my help gives to the Trojans odds But now be gone lest angry Juno see My Promise and what care I take of thee I le nod my Head then will the gods divine That I do yeild to any suit of thine And when I nod there 's none that can recall The thing I nod to if I nod at all This said the black-eye-browd and mighty god Did shake Olympus when he did but nod Then Thetis parting did from the light Heaven go To Neptunes Kingdom diving down below Jove did go home and all the gods did meet Him as he went and kindly did him greet But Juno saw Thetis in Joves Throne Discoursing with him when he was alone Then she revild him Thy secrets thou dost speak To others but to me dost never break What thou intends Father of gods and men To angry Juno then replyed agen Hope not that thou shall all my counsels know Although my Wife for I will never show To god or man but what I fitting see No god nor man shall sooner know then thee Then Ox-eyd Juno answerd Cruel Jove Does these same speeches show to me thy love I never askt before dost thou not sit Quiet from me and wils what thou thinks fit But I fear Thetis with her silver feet Held you by th' knees and early did you greet And I suspect that you Achilles fain Would honor though many of Greeks were slain Then did Cloud-gathering Jove reply Oh Wife Wretched art thou to make with me this strife To know my Deeds it will no profit be But rather take away my love from thee Then sit thou down and now obey my word For if that thou and I do not accord Then all the gods in Heaven cannot withstand When I on thee do lay my conquering hand This said the honoured oxe-eyd Juno then Sate silent and durst not reply agen Then all the gods in Heaven this ill did take Till Vulcan pleaded for his Mothers sake These works are deadly whilst that you do spend These words you make the gods themselves contend This Banquet will to us no pleasure be But rather grief if you do not agree But I will pray my Mother now to cease Her chiding least that she does Jove displease For if he thunder he can us then throw From the high Heaven unto the earth below But speak him fair then I do hope that he Will to us all very propitious be This said he rose the double-handed Cup Into his Mothers hands he straight did put And spake unto her Mother Suffer bear I grieve to see you beat you are so dear I cannot help you none was ever known To strive with Jove sitting upon his Throne When once I helpt he catcht me by the heel And flung me down from Heaven I could not feel Ground all the day But when the black Night came The Sintij straight did take me up again VVhite-wristed Juno smiling took the Cup And drank about lame Vulcan filled up Nectar to all loud laughter went about To see lame Vulcan poure in and out The Banquet held all day till Sun was set And every one unto his fill did eat Apollo did upon his fair Harp play The Muses answer'd singing all the day But after that the fair Sun's light was set Then every one unto his home did get Which Vulcan lame on both feet made for he Had built a House for every Deity Heavens-thundring-Jove unto his Bed did high And Juno on her golden Throne stept nigh The end of the first Book THese first six Verses I translated thus and showed them and others to many Schollars but because I found one Gentleman something curious I altered them as you see in the beginning Goddess the wrath of great Achilles sing Who griefs unnumbred to the Greeks did bring And many valiant souls to hell did send Their noble Bodyes Fouls and Dogs did rend Jove will'd all this from him this strife begun Of Agamemnon and great Pel'us Son Verses upon General BLAKE his Funeral VOwels do make the sound Letters alone Cannot be read nor understood by none The Vowels are the same in Drake and Blake Some think these two should equal honor take Drake conquer'd by lame Vulcan such a toy An Ape might do or every little boy Fire a sleepy Navy But Blake's fight Did the Sea-Monsters and great Neptune fright In the black Trojan-storm his Trident there He used but now he let it fall for feare The Butter-boxes melted with great heat And drunken Dutch-men stunck in grease and sweat Spaniard and Turk both these together quake And yeild their Captives up to dreadful Blake Mars feard a Conquest from the factious gods And sent for thee knowing he should have odds Against them all Jove did Achilles fear Behold a greater then Achilles there IN the Countrey this last Summer I taught a Gentleman's Son and
