But since your promise my sad greefe alaies Let me desire performance of the deed Let me no longer languish in delayes Conioyne the meanes ordaind the Gods agreed Consulting who might accept this office And speedily worke this busines for mans blisse 6. Who should reueale heauens will to them vnknowne And draw their parents to acquaintance kind Binding this league with adamantine stone And with affections mooue their tender mind Then Iuno which hath charge of marriage rights And Venus Queen of louers ioynd their mights 7. Ioue smiles commends them and commits this charge That euery thing in order might succeed He likewise other Gods commands at large That they should lend their helping hands at need Venus determines downe to send her sonne This work might with his quiuer be soone done 8 Iuno would Iris should accompany And therefore sent a messenger to cite her Who being cald came from below the skie To see what worke her mistris did behight her Lowly and louely like a pure handmaid She stood attending while Salmona said 9. Deck thy faire head with orient pearles put on Thy particouloured coat passe with swift speed My region ayre direct thy motion Vnto the Germane Empire and proceed Vnto the shores of Necaris cleare flood There for me thou shalt worke exceeding good 10.

Her cloathing vvas not precious pearles nor gold Nor vvol nor silke nor any mixt of all But both exceeding vvondrous to behold There vvas invvouen religions rise and fall Hovv first hels diuellish fiends vvrought her vexation And then hovv heauenly Saints brought reformation 17.

Therefore when Hermes cal'd the starry peeres As he was wont by mighty Ioues decree This holy Conclaue in full state appeares Cloath'd in nevv stately robes for their degree Passing the Firmaments bright Galaxie Striuing who should exceed in Maiestie 10. First heauens great King takes his Imperiall stall His Queen and sister Iuno then hath place Grandame Cybele sits next fear'd of all Then Sol being past the Zones and Zodiak space Lights from his Coach drawn by fowrfire-breath'd steeds Puts off his beames puts on his Councell weeds 11. Iuy-crown'd Bacchus from sweet Hamus vines Yoking fierce Leopards arriues with glory Castor and Pollux feather'd Laedas twins Met who meet seldome in this consistory Hither Alcides with his Lyons trame Came borne on frosty Boreas bright-beam'd waine 12. Cynthia left hunting on Arcadia dovvnes And wel-kept woods to grace her golden sphere Brain-bred Minerua laid aside her frownes Although then arm'd with snakie Gorgons haire Rough Mars growne milde came clad in complete steele Ceres forsook her sith Fortune her wheele 13. Hither came Venus Beauties gracefull Queen Accompanied with Cupids dreadfull powre Neere her was Hebe Iuno's daughter seen Adorn'd with scarlet robes and Youths faire flowre Chloris that crownes the spring Maia the bright And she that brings well-formed babes to light 14. Aeole that pens in prison the rude winde Proteus which heer doth his firm shape retaine Neptune with his ag'd Parents welny blind Faire Cimothe with all the sea-gods traine The Nymphes of trees hils with neat-kemd haire Heere merry Pan swift Fawnes bold Satyrs are 15. The Mountaine Pales and the Syluan God Vulcan though lame yet quick in fliut-found fire Siluer tong'd Hermes with his golden rodde The spirit of rest and plenteous peace drew nigher Honor and Reuerence with humbled eyes And sun-bright Maiesty which neuer dies 16. Still cheerfull Concord Faith which neuer fain'd Well-meaning soone-entreated Honestie True Iustice which by wrong-doing neuer gain'd With Phoebus Heliconian company New-rich-attired All tooke their seuerall places And gaue right oracles in doubtfull cases 17. At last who should be first in Parliament In came Religion with sad looke soft pace Deepe sighes moyst eyes pale cheeks haire and cloaths rent Submissiue gesture and deuotest grace Her followers were Sins-grief Shames-feare Worlds-pain She lean'd on Truth wan Hope held vp her traine 18. Like Cynthia smother'd in a dropping cloud Or Sol when Phaeton Earths-face did burne In cole-black night his glorious beams did shrowd So did Religion look so did she mourne All-seeing Ioue beholding her vexation Scarse held from teares in Fatherly compassion 19. Yet hiding his hearts griefe with pleasing cheere Bespeaks her sad care saying Daughter what ailes thee Whence come the teares I see the sighs I heare How chance thy comelinesse thy colour failes thee Who durst wrong thee or thine the Giants it may be Sweet say the cause haue risen from earth to fray thee 20. She welny sinking in a deadly swoune When sorrowing sobs would let her tell her mone Begins yet weeps lifts vp her eyes looks downe Then said And is my cause as yet vnknown All wonder-working Ioue heare help relieue vs Only thou canst and punish them that greiue vs. 21. It is not Grandame Earth nor that huge brood Sprung of thy seed and hers which wrought mine harms But worse far worse Dis which did neuer good With craft and force his foul-mouthd legions armes And will not let me raigne or barely rest me Orbide on earth so much doth he detest she 22. No sooner can I driue him out my soyle But Hydra-like he comes with greater forces And growes more spightfull ragefull with his foyle More dangerous politick in diuelish courses So that although my words renew my paine Yet is my griefe so great I must complaine 23. At thy command you Gods that guide this round Attend with gentlenesse my dolefull tale Myne aduersary driuen from off the ground Where he had raingd by wrong and wroughting bale Madded with pride and hate could not endure Himself so banisht my throne so secure 24. But fuming foaming gnashing breathing flame Hee testifies his rage with open iawes Hee chafes and snuffs hee roares and howles for shame Hee beats his poysned brest with both his pawes He bites his lips and rends his ougly locks His cries at heauen his ghosts at hel-gates knocks 25. His pride-swolne spleen more fierce then his own fire Could not but bellow thus in vawtes of night Wa' st not enough that I which once was higher Then any creature both by birth and might Should first be cast from heauen then driuen to hell In euerlasting darkenesse there to dwell 26. But that I should be thrust from out my chaire Purchast by warre and long in peace possest What title reason right can they declare Although for vprightnes they would be blest Their word 's their law their will 's their equity Dis wil not suffer this indignity 27. While wit or sword will serue I 'le claime earths throne To moue mine anger thus it may repent them Being more they got the feild the right 's mine owne Where then war could not wisdome shall preuent them It neuer shal be said the Diuell assaild Gaue ore his cause his hart or weapons faild 28.

This sai'd he stai'd and calld the damned spirits The Goblins Faeries Furies and their Dam Exaggerates his false pretended rights Dilating his deare losse and far-spred shame Go forth said he my braue Tartareons elues My shape my pride my gard aduance your selues 30. Make iulstre-entrance in your former states Recouer your lost honor wreak your spites Regaine your subiects open our wide gates Restore new altars for your auncient rites By strength or cunning make my power some way Doe good or ill so that I win the day 31. My victorie shall iudge their cause the worse Let Fate obey my words Fortune my lust Let me but conquer Let heauen earth Ioue curse Scarse heard the furies this but in they thrust And light their Ebon torches in hot lime-stone Flaming salt peeter all-consuming brimstone 32. Adding the foame of Cerbrus triple iaw The most ilsauoring sink of Lernafen The venomus vomit of Chimera's maw Which burning bred annoy to Gods and men Mustring their hellish-ranks an hundreth plagues A thousand hel-hounds with ten thousand hags 33. Tisiphone threw snakes and fire brands With whips of steele to moue their fiercenesse on So that all cried arme arme none doubtfull stands But fly from hell to camp in Babylon And there in spite of truth which all controlls Will either loose them-selues or win mens soules 34.
