At length was hairie Arcas borne no sooner cold he goe But that his wildnes esked to his wretched Mothers woe No beast so strong that he would shunne and man he neuer sawe Nor yet his vexed mother cold from fearcenes him withdrawe Seauen yeres the Daughter of a King she liued thus in Caue Not wanting griefe

but wanting all that poorest wretches haue And worst of all her sauage sonne whose manners did agrée Unto his birth-place howerly threates his mothers death to be And angrie once pursued her so long from place to place That euen into the Cittie gates he followed her in chase The people when they did behold so fayre a Nimph in flight A Baer-like Arcas in pursute for being naked quite His skinne

outragious Cacus from vnpatientnes of mynde Who in his greatest tyrannies did chiefest pleasures finde He sleas the harmles Passengers from eldest soule to childe He burnes and spoyles the neighbour parts and women he defild And to his Caue Troponius Caue did bring the spoyles he gaynes In which except to do more harme he secretly remaynes Whilst none did passe that did repasse vnspoyled or vnkild None knowing how all Italie with feare thereof was fild But lo and helpe when Hercules had slaughtered out-right Tenne Giants of Cremona Kings and put th-eleauenth to flight From thence the Worthy did ariue with his victorious band At King Euanders Cittie that by Auentin did stand Amongst a many ritcher Spoyles though none to him so rare He brought a sort of Spanish kyne Euander taking care Because the like misfortune oft had hapned there before Least Hercules should loose his Kyne of which he made such store Gaue counsell that within the walles they might be kept all night And better to approue his words with teares he did resight The murthers theftes and cruelties without compassion maide Upon his Subiects and their goods by whome could not be said But that the gods for so they gesse for sinne them so inuade I am resolu'd quoth Hercules where gods doe vengeance craue It is not strong or fensiue walles that any thing can saue My Kyne shall therefore graese abroade if mortall man it be Then know a Tyrant is my Taske his blood the Taskers fée The Cattell graesing then abroade as was his vse alwaies The Gyant left his cruell Denne to seeke his cursed praies The Moone not wanting of her light the Kyne he did espye And knowing them he also knewe his feared Foe was nye And f●r much better feare had bene then mallice at that tide But hardly shunneth pollicie what destinies prouide He might haue lurkt a while in Denne but of a péeuish spight Eight of the Kine with fastned cords by pollicie and might ●e dragged backward by their tailes into his diuelish Nest Then stopping vp the subtill hole did lay him downe to rest Now Hercules the rather prickt by king Euanders talke Into the fieldes to sée his Kine by prime of day did walke Where missing eight he could not gesse which waie they should be gon A many therefore had in charge to search them out anon The Searchers following euery signe great store of footings found Discending from Mount Auentine into the lower ground But for the footings did discend and not ascend they thought of no such cunning as in deed in Auentine was wrought Alcaeus Grand-sonne searching long the Thefts he could not finde Was much disquieted in him selfe and angrie in his minde And chasing when he should depart he twise or thrise did shake A Tree that grue on Auent●ne which ●ooted vp did make So large a vent that one might view the hollowe Caue belowe And Cacus with his Leash of wiues they were disclosed so Whome when the Greeke espied there O gracelesse King he said Whose Tyrannies haue made the Realmes of Hespera afraid Whose cruelties haue bene the cause of all the lesse thou hast What moueth thee in Italie to prosecute such waste Thinkst thou whom neither mightie Realmes nor royal Gards of mē Could late defend now to escape inclosed thus in Den The iust reuengement of the Goddes no no the Heauens wée sée Haue brought to light a wretch so lewd euen by a senceles Tree And since that neither wealth nor want to goodnes may thée win A greeuous death condignly shall cut off thy grounded sinne To it did Cacus aunswer thus doest thou pursue me still Who onely art the chiefest cause of these my doings ill Not suffring me to liue the rest of my vnhappie daies Among the fruitlesse rocks a wretch in miserie alwaies Cease further prate said Hercules in troth it gréeueth much To see a King in this Distresse but since thy life is such As nather in aduersitie nor prosperous estate Thou canst afford one iot of good I purpose to rebate Thy wicked dayes by worthy death prepare therefore to dye When Cacus sawe he must perforce so harde a combate trye He by inchanted flames againe endeuored to flye But Hercules deluded once by that deuise before Had learned now for being so deceaued any more And casting feare a side did leape into the flaming Caue And so by Arte did conquer Arte. The Gyant then to saue Him selfe did take his Axe in hand where Hercules and he Couragiously bestirre themselues vntill they did agrée To trye it out in open ayer So dolefull was their fight That Lookers on could not discerne to whether best should light The frighted Ladies did their best to helpe their fighting frend But Hercules had victorie and Cacus had his end CHAP.
