abroad doth thunder By force crushing what she will bring under And being blind her selfe she in her pride In Chariot drawne with blind ●orses doth ride Yet take heed least complaints her wrath exci●e Doe not provoke a goddesse of such might For shee that so unkind to thee doth seeme Hath oftentimes more fovourable beene For you are nobly b●r●e and you have beene Enrich'd with t●o Sonnes and are great loves Queene And Caesar still victorious did come home And in his warres doth prosperously goe on And both the Neroes were their mothers joy They beate their enemies and did them de 〈◊〉 This

conquered Pannonicus on the high mountaines scattered And Germany to Romes subjection brought Behold her merit 's greater than her fault Besides thy Sonne was absent nor would she To view the death of t●y Sonne suffer thee And that griefe to thy mind might gently slow Thou by relation didst of thy losse know Besides thy feare thy sorrowes did prevent Because that he such dangers underwent That when of perils thou didst onely heare They put thy mind into a mazed feare Griefe did not suddenly on thy heart ceaze But when that feare had softend it by degrees Iupiter gave signes did ●is death betoken When Temples three were by his thunder stroken Iunoes Minervas whom nought can affright And Caesars were thunder stooke in the night The starres out of the heavens fled they say And Luciser forsooke
