stay O good olde sire now yong againe why are you not I say I would quoth he that now I were as lustie and as strong As when Eurethali the stout these hands did lay along And slue but what al that is past the Gods do nere bestow Upon vs men all things at once but alwayes order so That after our vnbrideled youth coms sage and wrinckled yeares Me yong now old my selfe I féele as to you all appeares And far vnméete exploites to welde as touching force of hand Yet for all that to do my best in councel wil I stand It is the honor of the olde to councell men aright And of the yong the glorie is stoutly to deale in fight Who then can strike lay he it on and I assuredly Will hast me to the horsemen here to raunge my selfe thereby And will instructe their déede to guide Agamemnon right glad In heart doth waxe and doth reioice when Nestor heard he had A good bow shoote not further off warlike Menesthee stoode Whome there he méets with his Captains amid his souldiors good Of Athens towne next him ful still afoote Vlysses king Of Cephelonie was great routes him eke accompanying They stand both close martch do they not the skirmish they do hark The which the souldiors should beginne to set them all awarke The chieftain of the Gréekish camp their negligence doth blame O Menesthee and Vlysses what do you feare for shame Where is your forwardnesse quoth he what mean you thus to lag What looke ye for why do you not with firste and formost wag In my good cheare in hiest place you alwayes I do put The flesh most trimmest rosted ay for you is also cut And when you fancie for to drinke the swéetest wine you haue Therefore in fight your selues should be more forward more braue Than are the rest that lag and onward with such willing mind As of your friends tenne bandes you might in danger leaue behind The wise Gréeke grieued at this talke whose choler now doth rise Makes answere thus with bended browes a front his setled eyes O Atreus sonne what sayst thou here thou Agamemnon trowes Us dastards and faint hearted folke t'approche the Troyan foes What braule no more but if thou please thy selfe come and beholde Who doth his duty beste this day whether the father olde Of people of Talemach kinde both shields and Curets crush And giue into the Troyan prease the first of all the push In better point than any prince this heate he being in Atridas sawe wherefore againe he gently doth begin I●…tustre Prince the impe and heire of good Laertes line Thy valiant actes are wel approvd by that same hand of thine I wil not thée reproche at all I wrong thée should too much Greatly surpasse thy worthy déedes the councell good is such Of thy sage head thy prowesse eke all men is layed before Content thy selfe and of my wordes I pray thée thinke no more In time to come mends shal be made for this time I thée pray To shewe and so behaue thy selfe as al men of thée say And take the wordes which I haue spoke as simple fond and baine He ending thus doth leaue him there and onward goes againe A little off he findes the Prince Diomedes the stout Upon his chare not minding he of further setting out But talketh with his Chariot guide calld Stenelus by name Capanees sonne to nothing he this iorney mindes to frame Atridas rushing forth thus saith when he his countnance saw O Tydes heyre whom doubt you here of whom stand you in awe Belike you stay till we haue fought and tryed in field at length Would you we should for you prepare an entrance in the strength Of Troyans wel thy whilome sire had stomacke more at full He neuer quaild in mortall ioyne ne yet in perillous pull But sole hath gone to front his foes as oft I haue bin told Of such as kept him company and were his quaintance olde My selfe I neuer sawe the man yet many do reporte That he was at Mycenas once my country twone and forte That time when as he warred on the warlike Thebanes towne He came then to demaunde some aide with Polynices downe Such as their souldiors shoulde refreshe and we with willing heart His armie would haue easd at full and taken eke his parte If Ioue my friends and lieges al by signes apparant plaine Had not quite turnde whereby aide lesse he did returne againe After he long abode had made vnto his campe ypitched By Asope floud with store of grasse whose bancks are much enriched There Tydee as reporte doth goe long bid not in his tent For euen that daye yea al alone the Gretians forth him sent Embassador to Thebane ●…oes and to their king who hight Etheocles to towne he came wel armd with yron bright Whereas he found the king in shade with many a Thebane stout Discoursing this and that and when he tolde his message out And shewd his courage and his might he tild them for to trye And proue with him the combate there and dead by him they dye For Goddesse Pallas did encrease his force and hautie minde The Thebanes payed do threat reuenge and it with othe they binde The same to doe they ambush lay which doubtie Meon lead With Mneptoleme who tumbled oft so many wolues adead These leaders two ful fiftie men chose fit for such a feate And secretly conduct him downe with weapons hid to beate What came thereof he slue them all he did them soundly souse Of all the traytors Meon sole he home sent to his house Whereby before all men he might the Thebanes lewdnesse lay And his valor Such was the king of Aetoly I say The race is failed in the sonne a goodlier man he is And better tongde to tell a tale no souldior like ywis So Agamemn Diomede prickte who nothing did replie Ashamde he doubted for to moue the kingly state so hie His mate who well the matter heard his spéech he takes and sayes O Agamemn sith that the case is sure no manner wayes As you reporte I you beséeche the trueth do not disguise Nor do I craue it at your handes therein vs so despise For as for vs I dare auouch and stand to't to your face Our force and valiantnesse ful far ore-méetes in euery case That of our auntient fathers past as men more traind in warre The seauen gated Thebes towne had not withstoode so farre Ne yet hir walles if so we two besiegde hir had aboute For soone you should haue séene them torne turnd vp from the rout Our fathers where in that assault by follie dead are done Then hold your peace and father do not praise aboue the sonne Diomede was full ill content thus hardly for to heare His fellow speake he thus him blames in anger as he were What moues you for to talke thus much your tong can you
