to Castor and Pollux Helene Menelaus wyfe knowynge that Alexander was in Citharea so nobly and royally appoynted desyred greatlye to see hym and wente to a towne nye vnto the sea called by her name Helena where she purposed within the temple to doe sacrifice vnto Appollo and Diana Alexander being verye ioyfull of the approchement and commyng of Helena mindyng and remembrynge her greate bwetye beganne throughe a greate desyre and affection to see her and to goe and mete her Helena perceyuynge that Alexander was come to her towne no lesse desirous on her parte to see Alexander mete hym by the waye where the one seynge and beholdynge the other were euen forthwith taken with suche loue that they appoynted the tyme and conuenient houre to speake and commen together Therfore Alexander

thynge was fulfilled done The citesyns perceyuynge that sought verye longe agaynst hym but yet they fayled so muche to recouer their Helen that they themselues through the multitude and great company

Helen he maryed her to his sonne Alexander Assoone as Canssandra behelde her she beganne to prophesye euen as before And therfore by the commaundement of Priamus she was taken and closed vp After that Agamemnon was come into Sparta and hadde comforted hys brother they purposed to sende into al Grece to complaine them of thys open iniurie and that to reuenge the same it was necessarye to proclayme war against the Troyans Where Achiles Patroclus Diomedes went purposely into Sparta to Agamemnō ready w t armes to reueng y e iniurius ded of the Troyans appointing Agamēnon to be chiefe of al the armie After this they signified throughe out all Grece their interprince to the intent that euerye man shoulde be readie in armes at the assemble in the porte of Athens to defende their ryght and

which Memnon perceyuing with a company of Troyanes perswed him of whom Achilles hauing knoledge and his woundes beinge somwhat amended fought in such sorte for a tyme that through many violent woundes he kilde him so wounded departed After that y e kynge of Perses was slayne the rest fled to the towne so that the night did seuer and depart them And therfore the next dai the gates being spard Priamus sent vnto Agamemnon demaundynge a truce for twentye day●s the whiche was graunted him Priamus caused Troilus and Memnon to be buried with greate pompe and triumph and aswell the Greks as y e Troyanes caus●d their dead corpses to be buryed Hecuba with all he●nes desolation lamented that Achilles had so cruellye destroyed her two sonnes Hector Troilus so strong valiant in her f●minine coūsell she thought purposed to reuenge such iniurie Therfore she 〈◊〉 monished and persuaded her son Alexander to reuenge y e iniurye done to him hys brethren that is secretlye and by spies to take Achilles vnprouided and to kyll hym The whiche thinge thei might easely do in asmuche as Achilles had through a singuler desire demaunded Polixena in mariage and that she after the will and aunswere of Priamus hadde promysed her vnto him that there mighte be betwene theym a constante and a perpetuall peace Then was it purposed to lai an embushemente of men w tin the temple of Apollo Thymbreus next vnto the gate of Troye whither Achilles should come and entreate of thys mariage and this done Hecuba woulde throughlye holde her content and satisfied so that Achilles were slayne The which thinge Alexander promysed to doe Therfore in the nyght a certain of the moste strongest of al the hoste were chosen and layed with the watche worde in the foresaied temple Hecuba euen as she promised sent vnto Achilles Then he being in great loue with Polixena purposed not to be faultye in his parte The next daye folowing when Achilles hauing in his company Antiochus Nestors sonne was come to the place appointed by and by euen at his entring in Paris stirde vp his souldiers spies the which incontinent began to smite Achilles Antiochus perceiuinge thys euen forth with cast their clokes about their lefte armes drewe oute their swerdes and slew many Aleander killed firste Antiochus and wounded Achilles with many strokes Aud thus died Achilles whiche coulde not resist that that was so secretlye prepared agaynste hym Whose body Alexander commaunded as a pray to be cast to the foules of the ayre But Helenus be sought him not to do so but to deliuer it vnto the Greekes And so thei bare it out with Antiochus vnto y e Grekes campe wher Agamemnon caused theym to be buried with greate magnificence honour And to the ende he might the more commodiously buylde for Achilles a proper sepulchre he obtayned a truce of Priamus After this his great lordes familiers amssēbled vnto the consel to this end that the charges and affayres of Achilles mighte be committed to Aiax his neyghbour Where vnto Aiax answered that Achilles had yet one sonne lefte alyne named Neoptolemus vnto whome the charges of hys father Achilles were moore due and conuenient then to any other and therfore it were mete to call hym to the war to restore vnto him y e thing which pertayned vnto his father Whervpon Menelaus was chosen to go into Scyria to bryng Neoptolemus oute of the handes of hys graundfather Lycomedes to the which thyng the foresayd Lycomedes consented very wyllyngiye Then after that the time of truce was finished Agamemnon prepared led forth his host And on the other side the Troyans issuing out of their citie they met together and ●ought strongly one agaynst the other Aiax being bare w tout armer at y e clamor brute that was made set him self in y e point of the battel wher ther sell many aswel of y e one part as of y e other Alexander w● his bow wel strōgly bēt slew di●●rs amōg whō he persed the bare side of the whiche beinge soore wounded turned him selfe and persued Alexander nor ceased not vntyll he had slayne hym Aiax beinge thus brooken and not able to doe anye more because of his wound which he had receiued was borne into his tent and after the dart was drawen out of his bodie deceased Alexanders body was brought into the citie Diomedes fought couragiouslye againste his enemies But the Troyanes beynge very werye fled vnto their citie whome Diomedes chased vnto the walles Then Agamemnon with his men of warre came nere and campt al the night about the walles of the citie nor thei ceased not to watche and spie y e one after the other The next daye folowyng Priamus caused the body of his sonne Alexander to be buryed with great pompe whose deth Helen for the greate and mutuall loue that was betwene theym lamented most sorofully And againe because that Paris hadde receyued her into his countrey most honourably and humanely had intreated her Priamus and Hecuba seing her in suche heuinesse exhorted her not to forsak the Troyanes nor yet desire againe the company of the Grecianes The nexte daye Agamemnon approched nie vnto the gate with hys armye besiged the towne and prouoked the Troyanes to war Priamus on the other syde
