The Argvment.
Ioue cals a vision vp, from Somnus den;To bid Atrides, muster vp his men.
The king (to Greekes dissembling his desire)
Perswades them to their countrie to retire.
By Pallas will, Vlysses stayes their flight;
And wise old Nestor, heartens them to fight.
They take their meate: which done, to armes they goes
And march in good array, against the foe.
So those of Troy, when Iris, from the skie,
Of Saturns sonne, performs the Ambassie.
