in the Senate In this place sat all the waiting Nimphes attending the comming of their Ladye Goddesses and as that time fell out mistrusting the house would fit longer then their accustomed manner desputed how to driue the day in some merry method wherin euery one past her censure till Venus in the midst gaue after this manner her sentence Ladies quoth she and my fellowe Nimphes to make a long processe to little purpose or to vse many woords to little woorth were but to pull Hercules shooe on a Childes foot to burne one Candle in seeking another to exercise our tungs fill our eares but deceiue our expectations to talke of warre were too vnséemelye for women of Science not fitting our sexe what then Loue that in trueth best is beséeming Ladies and sithence we all studie which way to passe the time let vs all conclude to vse some merry pastime whereto all agreeed and liked so well of the motion that without further spéeche they made vp the match and saide it should be loue Their order was thus she that cunningly and most comely could courte little Ganymede should be mistresse of her fellowes and Ladye of Loue for that yéere and by whome should the triall be but by the Boyes troth that being tyed to his fancy might all rest vnder his fauour and whom Ganymede said I loue to her should fall the lot Now was the Boy at the nether end of the Chamber whither it were knitting of true loues knots in rishes to try his wits or making or Puppits to passe the time I wot not but Venus skipping lightlye from her seate ran hastily to the childe and catching him in her armes kissing the prittie wagge placed him with the women Ganymede whither gessing shrewdly at the matter or groping subtilly as the wanton well could at womens mindes why Venus saide he will you rauish me before all this companye or rifle me amid this crue it becommeth not Nimphes of Dians train to entermeddle with Pages of Iupiters troupe fire and water agrée neuer in one vessell it is dangerous to cast flax to fire Apples to Children liberty to Louers were it not for the place Venus I would hardly like your practise Coy elfe quoth Venus are you so collerick no Venus answered Ganymede take héed you wax not frantick for women speake not vntill they be spurred but put once out of their meane then are they past all mean because you should not fall into a mischéefe by reason of idlenes I did but whet your wits Venus to finde you exercised for this age is wicked subiect to many euilles and the house sitteth long and I wist not how you would spend the daye to courte Ganymede saide Cyane and why so replyed Ganymede to whet your minde or my manners bothe answered Venus for by our controuersie shall Ganimede finde our conceite and by thy iudgement shall we know Ganimedes wit if that be all Ladies saide he begin when you will Ganimede is with you and for you Haue with you then quoth Cyane and Ganimede let this exordium be for you Where the late adultresse Venus was wrapt with desire of her faire Adonys no bird nestled her brest but beautie when in pride of her dietie she graced Phao with an extraordinary fauour what was the greatest gift but beauty and what Venus I wot not striuing in thy nature Ganymede to excell her Art hath more then naturally inriched thée with a hue of greater if greater may be then excelling beautye if Venus were with her owne woorkes taken no meruaile then if Cyane be with so excéeding a power ouer-taken I loue Ganimede sweete Ganimede I loue I loue thée yea thée a fairer then whome is not contained in compasse of our Sphere or of greater beautye no one resteth heere in Olympus if the Gods for a fauour of their inferiours to enrich them with any blessing of liberalitie graunt them loue if our Ladye mistresse in fauour to their Gods haue no greater graunt then loue if loue made the King of our Capitall become little Cupids captiue driue Iuno to ielousie and Cynthia though she séeme surely to smile sometime on her welbeloued Endymion but if Ganimede in my disputation grauiled make any doubt of my deuice Mars Neptune yea Pluto and wise Apollo himselfe shall satisfie him in loues perfections and praises Thus I loue Ganimede yea Ganimede I loue then let not Ganimede repaye for loue hate but carying beautye in his forhead harbour Excomesis loue in his hart for beauty long since and loue were both conioyned in an endlesse league of amitie if beautifull then is Ganymede louelye and therefore louelye because beautifull ah witles Cyane what ambiguitie doubtest thou in Ganymedes loue that shineth so orient in pride of his beautye but admit beautye were not Cyane Yea marye saide Ganymede héer I ioyne with Cyane for admit no beautie in Ganymede yet answered Venus standing by bereaue not Cyane of her beautye Ganymede for it is her life nor of life Dorye another Nymph standing by least you loose her loue I admit them concluded Ganymede both Cyans beautye and life because she shall not perrish in her loue all this is but a pause saide Venus to bring Cyane to her purpose yet hardly answered Cyane shal I procéede if you thus penne me from my purpose howbeit to make vp her medlye forward she goeth in this manner Let not the modesty of thy yeeres sweet Ganymede frustrate the defart of my praises but lengthen my life with thy beauty thou wilt grace my beauty with thy loue vnfitting were it faire Iupiters Page should now become foule ingratitudes Prisoner I tell thée Ganymede to forget iniuries is not the meanest poynte of wisdome to rewarde defart the highest type of a true Trophea whither was Alexander more famed for his victories of the worlde or infamous for the slaughter of his faithfull Clytus ingratitude I tell Ganymede hath frustrated mightye Princes of the loue of their people hath decayed Kingdomes and ruinated the weale of the happiest worlde if any Ganymede coulde but discearn what difference there were in remundicating a sweete desert and practise of a scorning desire what destinction betwéene a pleasant replye and a displeasing repulse greater should be his sweetnes exercised in these vertues then others vertues practising no such swéete He that hath read the Trophies of the Romain triumphes shall there finde in a Princely breast a princelike bountye who for the purchase of ease repaies with rewarde of life perfourming a regall office in a Lyons nature well may he be tearmed a King that Kinglye dealeth with his vassailes shewing that in greatest personages ought to harbour greatest vertues Swéet mouse in this let me intreate thée resemble Aesops mouse that as he with his teeth released the Lyons thrauldome thou with thy tung vntye thy Goddesse bondage ease her thoughts whose hart fainteth with the burden of thy beautye and make thy soueraigntie rather pleasing by thy liberality then

were Dorys so wise to finde womens wyles or my owne weaknes then turning no further then led by reason I néed not for want of iudgement incurre such Ladies rage Venus perceiuing Cyane all this time so mute who earst was euer wont to be merry thought by some prittie deceit to haue driuen her from her pensiue conceit between mirth and game vttering this glose while you treate of wit others talke of warre you are amid your mirth but Cyane mornes with melancholye trust me the Ladye either féedes on pilles or on displeasure her taste seemeth so vntoothsome why how now Cyane I pray you Lady what chéere Cyane was stung with Venus tale and though at firste she began to stand yet bethinking her selfe better she recouered her strength because none should know where the showe wrong but she that wore it with this prittie glose plaied on her game I haue fed Venus said she too rife on Dorys reasons so sweet is her fruite as if she bore foorth Figges Héereat Dorys thought to catch Cyane at the nyck requiting her curtesie with this prittie quippe Cyane answered she euer caryeth a sweete tooth in her head and a swéet thought in her hart beauty bréedes no other loue as much Héere Iupiter hauing béen something earnest in certain causes discussed in the Capatal sodainly rose from his seate forsaking the Senate the rest he commaunded to tarrye because he would haue further triall leauing thē alone to haue a sight of his loue softly therfore discended he the Capitall and vnawares stealeth down on the merry knot sitting in the great chamber who beholding the little Senate of pettie Nimphes and Damosels bit the lippe in conceite but by your leaue changed countenance for such was Venus presence that alwaies moued Ioues patience yet because his changing should be perceiued of none he entred a with-drawing Chamber by not perceiued of any calling in all the hast to Ganymede and the rest of the Nymphes being earnest in their discoursings gaue little attendance to Iupiters intercourse so that he passed by them into the chamber before he was seene or heard of any but when the Boy had once heard the voice of his Lord it was no time to wil him hye ore the lappes of his Ladyes but as if Aeolus droue him with the blast of his breath so lightly forsooke he his company and his bench Iupiter his page no sooner entred his presence but began in these tearmes to salute his pettie person Sir wagge said he you are amidde the women when you should attend my will beholding others braueries but neglecting my businesse I beseeche you Sir what Nymph was she that attended your right hand while I passed by the left Ganymede remembring it was Venus and accordinglye infourmed his Lord reporting her to be an attendant on Dyctymia Venus answered Iupiter haue we been two daies séeking Venus in the Capitall you hauing stolne her out to sporte with you in the great Chamber I thought saide he her some rare personage being adorned with so rare perfections Hye you therefore to the Senate and tell the Gods for this day I adiorne the Session Ganymede as was his Lordinges message hasted him to the Capitall to enforme thē his maisters minde vpon the hearing wherof all the house rose séeking no further reason By this the Debyan God had discharged his fierye courses betaking him to the bower of his beloued Thetis it was no time for Nymphes to chat of loue when their Mistresse to stop their mouthes had abridged thē of their leisure they moreouer poore soules so weary of their late nightes ouer-watching are so drowned in sléepe that there is not one waking and for my parte I so greatlye tender a womans ease that rather then I would wake them I will refuse mine arte a swéete smyling kisse of a Ladyes sléepye lippe I account farre greater treasure then a largis at a mighty Emperours hand rest you therfore sweete loues secure voide of troubled thoughts while I trouble others to coniecture of your sugred mindes NOw was it time when Cynthia forsaking her siluer Orbe had left the whole Zoane vnto Apollos charge giuing leaue to Zephirus to prouide for Aeolus passage the Nymphes now risen attend their Ladyes call and hasten forwards for their mistresse quick dispatch short tale to make each entred the Capitall earnestly expect the comming of their King I will héer repeat the accidents hapned with mighty Iupiter if any can entreate Ganymede I dare warrant my life he shal hear of much prittie sporte the boye and his Lord long ere this are supposed lost and Gods graunt it my fortune to pronounce them happie found Saturnus soon after diuers sportings with the Paphlogoman youth his Page now mindeth the Senate and is entred the presence whether no sooner come but narowly he pryeth to haue a sight of his new sweet hart Venus what néed I héere to note Iupiters loue wherin none are ignorant acquainted with his life his close courtings glorious glaunces and prittie practises I rather leaue them to others whose studies haue made them famyliar with his factions then vndertake the charge too chargeable for my fortunes his trewanting from Olimpus when more méeter he had béene in the heauens and metamorphoses of shapes because he would not be knowen on earth all these are better descryed by the prying of Iuno then the penning of a nouice such as I whose eares haue neuer yet made me priuie of such experience nor whose experience euer attained such priuities but thus suppose that if euer he loued any he loued Venus and Venus more then any if euer he desired any he desired Venus and my Venus desired he before any if euer he metamorphosed himselfe for any he metamorphosed himselfe for Venus for Venus was he more strangely metamorphosed thē for any if he fained him self Aethra to obtain Calisto now sought he a more maidenly shape thē Aethraes to be conuersant with my Venus if in habite of Dyane he deceiued the Nymph Nonacris what shape sought he thē think you to deceiue euen Phaebe her selfe he entertained not so many golden Actions when he begat the famous Porsey as he did the golden thougts at the view of his excéeding Venus I dare not holde him long thus doting on his Goddesse least wanting in the Senate I encurre the hatred of the Gods and exercising Pentheyes contempt I endure Pentheyes punishment He passeth on now to parliament expected of his Péeres and my crue are now clustred entending their purpose Ganymede hasteth Venus to vndertake her promised charge and giueth charge to the Ladyes none interrupt Venus heste And now being silent the royall crue of Carthage the Ilyan stranger gréeteth Dydo after this semblaunce Lycurgus saide Venus the Lacidimonians lawe giuer had neuer liued renowned in Greece had not his lawes obserued maintained the state of Greece and him self in Greece framed his life correspondēt to
