The Argvment.

Ioue, entertaining care of Hectors corse;
Sends Thetis to her sonne, for his remorse;
And fit dismission of it. Iris then,
He sends to Priam; willing him to gaine
His sonne for ransome. He, by Hermes led,
Gets through Achilles guards; sleepes deepe, and dead,
Cast on them by his guide. When, with accesse,
And humble sute, made to AEacides,
He gaines the bodie; which to Troy he beares,
And buries it with feasts, buried in teares.
