1322. Qu. Honoured Hypolita

133Most dreaded Amazonian, that ha'st slaine

134The Sith-tuskd-Bore; that with thy Arme as strong

135As it is white, wast neere to make the male

136To thy Sex captive; but that this thy Lord

137Borne to uphold Creation, in that honour

138First nature stilde it in, shrunke thee into

139The bownd thou wast ore-flowing; at once subduing

140Thy force, and thy affection: Soldiresse

141That equally canst poize sternenes with pitty,

142Whom now I know hast much more power on him

143Then ever he had on thee, who ow'st his strength,

144And his, Love too: who is a Servant for

145The Tenour of the Speech. Deere Glasse of Ladies

146Bid him that we whom flaming war doth scortch,

147Vnder the shaddow of his Sword, may coole us:

148Require him he advance it ore our heades;

149Speak't in a womans key: like such a woman

150As any of us three; weepe ere you faile; lend us a knee;

151But touch the ground for us no longer time

152Then a Doves motion, when the head's pluckt off:

153Tell him if he i'th blood cizd field, lay swolne

154Showing the Sun his Teeth; grinning at the Moone

155What you would doe.

156Hip. Poore Lady, say no more:

157I had as leife trace this good action with you

158As that whereto I am going, and never yet

159Went I so willing, way. My Lord is taken

160Hart deepe with your distresse: Let him consider:

161Ile speake anon.

1623. Qu. O my petition was kneele to Emilia.

163Set downe in yce, which by hot greefe uncandied

164Melts into drops, so sorrow wanting forme

165Is prest with deeper matter.

166Emilia. Pray stand up,

167Your greefe is written in your cheeke.

1683. Qu. O woe,

169You cannot reade it there; there through my teares,
