had the game possest in pawes Anenst a Corke he taught hir tricks of wanton louers lawes She cald and shrikt and I as wood would strayght her ayde haue borne But sore afrayd I was to meete the shagheard horsons horne Nor once I durst my enimy try his pactence for to proue How oft she beckes and byds me come wyth eyes that rowling moue And of her self she calles me thus and fast begins to twine Her armes so white about my necke like Juy or the Uine That wonted are their neighbor trees wyth winding course to brace And fast the wanton bytes my necke and softly on the face Wyth hand in sport she smites me oft and by her trouth she sweares That none on earth but me shee loues nor none good wyll she beares But yet am I not such a foole that I holde this for trewe For women all in lies excell and when wyth fawnings newe The naughty queanes begin to fliere the more thou oughtest afrayd To be these words in song he spake and more ve would haue sayd But seuen wolues by chaunce therwith came creping close the way From rockes adowne amyd the trees desirous of their pray And on the flocke they runne now these now those they slea and byte And mouthes in bloud they stain againe the masty curres they fyte Wyth barking boughing noyse to beat their enimies from the ground A noyse full greate made in the dale wyth roaring cry doth sound Then both the shepheardes rise in haste the wager quite vndone Wyth sling and staues of Oke in hand togither both they runne And I behinde alone remaynd and forth another way With doutfull minde and diuers thought I went as farre as may The brasen canon cast his stone at thrice and there a spring That spouted vp wyth bubling sandes where thicke the Plantrees cling I found and round about the grasse full grene it doth embrace Wyth seates of sandy Tophus stone I gesse it was the place Where Fayries set in Sommers rage when Dogdayes heat doth glowe Not farre from hence I saw me thought a Seruice tree to growe Whose fruite did make y e brāches bend and therto fast I went For ripe I them perceaude and some with hast in hand I hent And eate them vp desyring then with water for to slake My burning thirst and to the well my iourney forth I take And downe I bowe my self and there my lippes in water fyne I dipt and whilst I drinke the stones in Cristall waters shine Whilst these are done a yong mā down from heauens to me sent That Goddesse good Arete fayre of me not negligent Wyth falling flight he cuttes the ayre more swifter much he flies Than haukes that striue by force to take the pray before their eyes And straight to me he cōmes that then wyth weary limmes did rest Amid the grasse he bids god den then vp my selfe I drest And worship there to him I make He passing man in fame I am did say Aretes sonne Timalphes is my name My mother hath me hither sent that al that doth remayne Behinde vnfolde I may disclose to thee in order playne Then both togither downe we syt and thus he gan to say The woman and hir boy that stode on left syde yonder way Thou knowst my mother told y e plaine now restes there for to tell What hight the woman and the boy that on the right hand dwell Hir Venus men do cal and say that of the salt sea sud She then created was when that olde Saturne in the flud Unkinde his fathers stones did cast so sayd the Greekish sorte A people fansies fyt to fayne and lies for to reporte Vranius hir of troth begat of Lopades by rape Vranius syre of euery thing than whome of larger shape Was Atlas not nor yet the fierce Enceladus so strong Nor gorbellied Typheus huge nor all the Giants long That euer earth did yet bring vp Nine heads him nature toke Whereof the highest is voyd of eyes and Westward styll doth loke Gaynward the East the other stand aboue a thousand eyes The second hath and on a peece doth al the rest suffise His right hand Northward out he casts the left to South he sendes With both his hands y e world he metes his feete the flock of fendes Doth touch his head the skies doth rech a shepheard rich in deede Aboue al men of euery flocke through al the earth to feede He puttes them out the number would of them excede if not That monster Pamphagus his sonne with greedy rauening throte Should them deuoure continually wyth Attropos his wife This Venus now Vranius got and ioynde in wedlock life To one Pedogenes a God and bad they should encrease This is that Venus wythout whome the vse of earth would cease And al the world wyth bryers thick vnseemely should be thought Hir God hath ordeynd that she myght the losse which nature brought Ful recompence which God appoynts that hurtful can not be What then of them shall I reporte content with chastitie That fayre encrease do not esteme but voyd of issue die And leaue no signes of them behinde 〈◊〉 they sinne assuredly And if the truth may here be sayd vnworthy byrth him giues Nature of whome not one is borne vnworthy eke he liues By whome another hath no life Yet they whome sicknesse let Or other meanes do them constrayne no children for to get Opprest with cursed pouerty do feare that they shall see Their children begge intend saincts life of whome but fewe there be Let them refraine good leaue they haue but many wyl no wyfe That they may others efte defile and lead a lechours life And for bycause that more they might the common sort beguile Under pretence they giue them selues to sacred things a while And churches haunt and priests of God they counted are to be They diuers lawes garments strange do vse and thinke to see The heauens hie with scraped crowne cleane things the beastes do flye And after things vncleane they runne while as the panche they plye And giue themselues to drowsy reast which both do foster vice Stale Uirgins are they thought to be while close they cast the dise The darke night al in vice to spend their mindes they whole apply None truely vse a Uirgins life but such as come thereby When croked olde vnlusty age or sicknesse lore them fret Or restlesse payne of carking minde or gift of God then let Al ouerplus from out the corps doth nature cleane expel Hereof it cōmes that in night dreames sometimes doth Venus dwel In dreames that shew the ioyful arte and pleasaunt sporte in deede Let them more chaste than Sibels be or Nunnes of Uestal weede Of two which worthier is I aske estemed for to be The barraine bowes that frutelesse fade or else the fertile tree The ground that giueth good encrease or sand where nothing growes O thoughts of men of none effect O fond and foolish vowes Apply your selues not to despise
