10921030Cass. Virgins, and boyes, mid-age, and wrinckled elders,
10931031Soft infancie, that nothing can

10941032Adde to my clamours: let vs pay be-times
10951033A moytie of that ma
sse of mone to come:
10961034Crie
Troyans crye, pra
cti
se your eyes with teares,

stand.
10981036Our
fire-brand brother
Paris burnes vs all,
10991037Crie Troyans crie, a
Helen and a woe,
11001038Crie, crie, Troy burnes, or el

Hellen goe.

11131051Which hath our

11141052To make it gratious. For my priuate part,
11151053I am no more toucht then all

11251063What propugnation is in one mans valour
