2011401There pleading might you see graue NESTOR stand,

1402As'twere incouraging the Greekes to fight,

1403Making such sober action with his hand,

1404That it beguild attention, charm'd the sight,

1405In speech it seemd his beard, all siluer white,

1406 Wag'd vp and downe, and from his lips did flie,

1407 Thin winding breath which purl'd vp to the skie.

2021408About him were a presse of gaping faces,

1409Which seem'd to swallow vp his sound aduice,

1410All ioyntlie listning, but with seuerall graces,

1411As if some Marmaide did their eares intice,

1412Some high, some low, the Painter was so nice.

1413 The scalpes of manie almost hid behind,

1414 To iump vp higher seem'd to mocke the mind.

2031415Here one mans hand leand on anothers head,

1416His nose being shadowed by his neighbours eare,

1417Here one being throng'd, bears back all boln, & red,

1418Another smotherd, seemes to pelt and sweare,

1419And in their rage such signes of rage they beare,

1420 As but for losse of NESTORS golden words,

1421 It seem'd they would debate with angrie swords.
