that_o by_o the_o same_o advantage_n none_o be_v take_v against_o we_o by_o our_o foe_n to_o our_o disgrace_n and_o we_o thereby_o constrain_v to_o leave_v the_o place_n the_o second_o be_v that_o we_o our_o valour_n show_v and_o let_v no_o manner_n fear_v possess_v our_o heart_n but_o stout_o let_v we_o against_o our_o enemy_n go_v and_o see_v we_o play_v the_o valiant_a soldier_n part_n courageous_o in_o battle_n to_o endure_v and_o to_o our_o foe_n eternal_a shame_n procure_v the_o three_o and_o last_o be_v that_o we_o strive_v to_o gain_v the_o fame_n and_o name_v our_o ancestor_n have_v hold_v and_o valiant_o the_o victory_n obtain_v against_o our_o foe_n and_o drive_v they_o out_o the_o field_n for_o if_o by_o knighthood_n through_o our_o hardiness_n we_o vanquish_v they_o and_o put_v they_o to_o distress_n we_o win_v not_o only_o praise_v and_o high_a renown_n which_o to_o a_o valiant_a mind_n be_v chief_a bliss_n but_o if_o we_o once_o may_v enter_v in_o the_o town_n of_o treasure_n great_a we_o sure_o can_v miss_v which_o in_o the_o same_o be_v now_o there_o to_o be_v find_v for_o certain_a it_o be_v it_o do_v therein_o abound_v which_o maugre_o all_o our_o foe_n we_o will_v convey_v into_o our_o ship_n and_o so_o with_o joyful_a cheer_n when_o wind_n and_o weather_n serve_v without_o delay_n the_o same_o with_o we_o into_o our_o country_n bear_v therefore_o in_o hope_n this_o treasure_n now_o to_o win_v with_o courage_n bold_a t'assail_v they_o let_v begin_v whereto_o most_o valiant_a hercules_n reply_v and_o do_v king_n peleus_n counsel_n much_o

do_v not_o neglect_v before_o that_o it_o appear_v to_o be_v day_n to_o muster_v all_o our_o man_n upon_o this_o plain_a and_o be_v arm_v with_o all_o the_o speed_n we_o may_v our_o force_n to_o

feel_v her_o rankor_n and_o disdain_n into_o the_o vale_n of_o great_a adversity_n the_o rich_a she_o make_v poor_a and_o then_o again_o of_o poor_a make_v rich_a and_o as_o it_o be_v her_o kind_n set_v one_o before_o another_o cast_v behind_o some_o one_o she_o make_v run_v another_o halt_n the_o three_o she_o plunge_v in_o extremity_n the_o four_o she_o do_v to_o honour_v great_a exalt_v so_o that_o in_o she_o there_o be_v no_o security_n in_o some_o man_n mouth_n sweet_a nectar_n she_o disti●th_v another_o throat_n with_o bitter_a ga●●_n she_o fil'th_v and_o thus_o this_o wilful_a lady_n as_o we_o find_v within_o her_o power_n great_a store_n of_o potion_n have_v and_o every_o one_o of_o strange_a and_o several_a kind_n for_o she_o to_o some_o with_o false_a and_o feign_a faith_n give_v pleasant_a wine_n but_o when_o the_o sweet_a be_v past_a as_o it_o be_v her_o use_n she_o give_v they_o a_o taste_n of_o aloe_n and_o of_o bitter_a wormwood_n drink_v and_o corfive_n which_o do_v fret_v and_o pierce_v most_o deep_a into_o man_n heart_n when_o as_o they_o little_o think_v that_o fortune_n they_o beguile_v and_o lull_v a_o sleep_n and_o thus_o if_o in_o this_o queen_n of_o variance_n who_o joy_n do_v ever_o end_v with_o some_o mischance_n man_n put_v their_o trust_n let_v they_o besure_n at_o last_o of_o what_o estate_n so_o ever_o that_o they_o be_v she_o will_v overthrow_v they_o with_o some_o sudden_a blast_n and_o clean_o bereave_v of_o all_o felicity_n as_o by_o example_n of_o laomedon_n we_o may_v perceive_v bring_v to_o confusion_n for_o little_a cause_n or_o truth_n to_o say_v for_o nought_o wherefore_o let_v every_o man_n by_o he_o take_v heed_n a_o quarrel_n to_o begin_v where_o none_o be_v seek_v lest_o that_o like_o he_o destruction_n be_v their_o meed_n for_o little_a fire_n with_o ash_n cover_v when_o man_n suppose_v it_o quench_v and_o whole_o dead_a may_v chance_n break_v out_o and_o on_o a_o sudden_a burn_n and_o when_o as_o man_n the_o same_o do_v seek_v to_o cease_v full_a often_o in_o their_o face_n it_o do_v turn_v but_o he_o that_o meddle_v least_o live_v most_o at_o ease_n therefore_o let_v king_n and_o prince_n every_o one_o a_o mirror_n make_v of_o king_n laomedon_n and_o see_v they_o use_v no_o kind_n of_o violence_n nor_o suffer_v any_o one_o to_o offer_v wrong_a to_o stranger_n when_o they_o give_v they_o none_o offence_n for_o though_o their_o power_n &_o force_n be_v great_a &_o strong_a within_o their_o land_n when_o least_o they_o think_v on_o it_o as_o he_o be_v serve_v they_o may_v their_o

i_o wish_v when_o as_o they_o hear_v or_o know_v that_o stranger_n in_o their_o country_n be_v arrive_v let_v they_o with_o love_n and_o honour_n be_v receive_v and_o wise_o think_v and_o hold_v it_o
