557539Secure of thunders cracke or lightning flash,

558540Aduaunc'd aboue pale enuies threatning reach,

559541As when the golden suune salutes the morne,

560542And hauing gilt the Ocean with his beames,

561543Gallops the Zodiacke in his glistering Coach,

562544And ouer-looks the highest piering hills.

563545 So Tamora.

564546Vpon her wit doth earthly honour wait,

565547And vertue stoops and trembles at her frowne,

566548Then Aron arme thy hart, and fit thy thoughts,

567549To mount aloft with thy Emperiall Mistris,

568550And mount her pitch, whom thou in triumph long

569551Hast prisoner held, fettred in amourous chaines,

570552And faster bound to Arons charming eies,

571553Than is Prometheus tide to Caucasus.

572554Away with slauish weedes and seruile thoughts,

573555I will be bright and shine in pearle and golde,

574556To wait vpon this new made Emperesse.

575557To wait said I? to wanton with this Queene,

576558This Goddesse, this Semerimis, this Nymph,

577559This Syren that will charme Romes Saturnine,

578560And see his shipwracke, and his Common-weales.

579561Hollo, what storme is this?

581563Demetrius. Chiron thy yeares wants wit, thy wits wants(edge,

582564And manners to intrude where I am grac'd,

583565And may for ought thou knowest affected bee.

584566Chiron. Demetrius, thou dost ouerweene in all,

585567And so in this, to beare me downe with braues,

586568Tis not the difference of a yeare or two

587569Makes me lesse gratious, or thee more fortunate:

588570I am as able and as fit as thou,

589571To serue, and to deserue my Mistris grace,

590572And that my sword vpon thee shall approue,

C₃ And
