Th' inhabitants of Hyria, and stonie Aulida;

In faire Ocalea, and the towne, well builded, Medeona;

The nauie of the Bœotians fiftie.

And sixscore strong, Bœotian youths, in euerie burthen went.
But those who in Aspledon dwelt, and Mynian Orchomen;

The warre-god secretly comprest: in safe conduct of these,

Aiax the lesse, Oileus sonne, the Locrians led to warre,

Aiax, Oielus, captaines of the Locrians.

The towns of the Locrians.

The youths of Cynus, Scarphis, and, Augias, louely men;

Surnam'd Chalcodontiades, the mightie Abants guide;
Swift men of foot, whose broad-set backes, their trailing haire did hide,
Well seene in fight, and soone could pierce, with farre extended darts
The breast plates of their enemies, and reach their dearest hearts.
Fortie blacke men of warre did saile, in this Alphenors charge.

Their fleet 40.

The souldiers that in Athens dwelt, a citie builded large,

The Athenians.

Of Buls and Lambes, th' Athenian youths, please him with offrings there.
Mightie Menestheus, Peteus sonne, had their deuided care:

Menestheus their Cheife.

With all the sea-side borderers, and wide Helices friends;

Agamemnon captaine. Ships 100.

To Agamemnon euerie towne, her natiue birth commends,
In double fiftie sable barks: with him a world of men

Where all the Muses (opposite, in strife of Poesie,

Thamyris depriued of sight and Poesie by the Muses.

To ancient Thamyris of Thrace) did vse him cruelly;
He coming from Eurytus court, the wise Oechalian king:
Because he proudly durst affirme, he could more sweetly sing,
Then that Pyerean race of Ioue; who (angrie with his vant)
Bereft his eye-sight, and his song, that did the eare enchant;
And of his skill to touch his Harpe, disfurnished his hand:

Brought nine tall ships of warre from Rhodes, which hautie Rhodians mand,
Who dwelt in three disseuer'd parts, of that most pleasant land;

Brought vp to head-strong state of youth) his mothers brother slue,
The flowre of armes, Lycymnius, that somewhat aged grew:
Then straight he gathred him a fleete, assembling bands of men,
And fled by sea, to shun the threats, that were denounced then,
By other sonnes and nephewes of, th' Alciden fortitude.

All which the great Æcides, in fiftie ships did leade.
For, these forgat warres horride voice, because they lackt their head,
That would haue brought them brauely foorth; but now at fleete did lie,
That wind-like vser of his feet, faire Thetis progenie;
Wroth for bright-cheekt Bryseis losse; whom from Lyrnessus spoiles,
(His owne exploit) he brought away, as trophee of his toiles,
When that towne was depopulate; he sunke the Theban towres;
Myneta, and Epistrophus, he sent to Plutoes bowres,

Protesilaus captaine.

Protesilaus while he liu'd, the worthie captaine was:
Whom now the sable earth detaines: his teare-torne faced spouse
He wofull left in Philace, and his halfe finisht house:
A fatall Dardane first his life, of all the Greekes, bereft,
As he was leaping from his ship; yet were his men vnleft
Without a Chiefe; for though they wisht, to haue no other man,
But good Protesilay their guide; Podarces yet began
To gouerne them, Iphitis sonne, the sonne of Philacus,
Most rich in sheepe, and brother to, short-liu'd Protesilaus:
Of yonger birth, lesse, and lesse strong; yet seru'd he to direct
The companies, that still did more, their ancient Duke affect.
Twise twentie Iettie sailes with him, the swelling streame did take.

Ships 40.

Thaumaciæ, flowrie Meliba, and Olison the cold,

Their chiefe, Philoctetes, left maimed at Lemnos.

Duke Philoctetes gouerned, in darts of finest sleight:
Seuen vessels in his charge conuaid, their honorable freight;
By fiftie rowers in a barke, most expext in the bow:
But he in sacred Lemnos lay, brought miserably low,
By torment of an vlcer growne, with Hydras poyson'd bloud:

Madam Oyleus base sonne, captaine in Philoct. place.

Whose sting was such, Greece left him there, in most impatient moode:

Medon, Oyleus bastard sonne, brought forth to him by Rheu.

Argissæans with their borderers. Meneptolemus their chiefe, and Leonteus. Ships 40.

And chalkie Oloossine, were led by Polypete;
The issue of Perithous, the sonne of Iupiter.
Him the Athenian Theseus friend, Hypodamy did beare;
When he the bristled sauages: did giue Ramnusia,
And draue them out of Pelius, as farre as Ethica.
He came not single, but with him, Leonteus, Corons sonne,
An arme of Mars; and Corons life, Ceneus seed begunne.
Twise twentie ships, attended these. Cuneus next did bring,
From Cyphus, twentie saile and two, the Enians following;

The Cyphians, Enians, Peræbians. Their chiefe Guneus. Ships 22.

And fierce Peræbi, that about, Dadones frozen mold,
Did plant their houses, and the men, that did the medowes hold,
Which Titoresius deckes with flowers, and his sweet current leades,
Into the bright Peneius, that hath the siluer heads.
Yet with his admirable streame, doth not his waues commixe;
But glides aloft on it like oyle: for tis the floud of Stix,
By which th' immortall Gods do sweare. Teuthredous honor'd birth

The Magnets. Prothous their chiefe. Ships 40.

Prothous led the Magnets forth, who neare the shadie earth,
Of Pelius, and Peneion, dwelt; fortie reuengefull saile
Did follow him; these were the Dukes, and Princes of auaile,
That came from Greece: but now the man, that ouershin'd them all;
Sing Muse: and their most famous Steeds, to my recitall call,
That both th' Atrides followed; faire Pheretiedes,
The brauest mares, did bring by much; Eumelius manag'd these:

Eumelius had the best mares of the armie.

Swift of their feete as birds of wings; both of one haire did shine,
Both of an age, both of a height, as measur'd by a line:
Whom siluer-bow'd Apollo bred, in the Pierean meade;
Both slicke and daintie, yet were both, in warre of wondrous dread.

Great Aiax Telamon for strength, past all the Peeres of warre,

Aiax Telamonius the strongest Greeke next Achilles. Achilles the best horse.

While vext Achilles was away: but he surpast him farre.
The horse that bore that faultlesse man, were likewise past compare:
Yet lay he at the crookt-stern'd ships, and furie was his fare,
For Atreus sonnes vngracious deed: his men yet pleasd their hearts,
With throwing of the holed stone; with hurling of their darts,
And shooting fairely on the shore. Their horse at chariots fed,
On greatest parsly, and on sedge, that in the fens is bred.
His Princes tents their chariots held, that richly couerd were.
His Princes, amorous of their Chiefe, walkt storming here and there,
About the host, and scorn'd to fight: their breaths, as they did passe,
Before them flew, as if a fire, fed on the trembling grasse.

Earth vnder-gron'd their high raisd feet, as when offended Ioue,
In Artme, Tiphoeus, with ratling thunder droue,
Beneath the earth: in Arime, men say the graue is still,
Where thunder tomb'd Typhoeus, and is a monstrous hill.
And as that thunder made earth grone, so gron'd it as they past,
They trode with such hard-set-downe steps, and so exceeding fast.

Iris to the Troians, from Ioue.

To Troy the rainbow-girded dame, right heauie newes relates,
From Ioue (as all to Councell drew, in Priams Pallace gates)
Resembling Priams sonne in voice, Polytes swift of feet:
In trust whereof (as Sentinell, to see when from the fleet,
The Grecians sallied) he was set, vpon the loftie brow
Of aged Esietes tombe, and this did Iris show;

Iris to Priam.

O Priam thou art alwaies pleasd, with indiscreet aduise:
And fram'st thy life to times of peace, when such a warre doth rise
As threats ineuitable spoyle; I neuer did behold
Such and so mightie troupes of men, who trample on the mold,
In number like Autumnus leaues, or like the marine sand:
All ready round about the walles, to vse a ruining hand.
Hector? I therefore charge thee most, this charge to vndertake:
A multitude remaine in Troy, will fight for Priams sake,
Of other lands and languages; let euerie leader then
Bring forth, well arm'd into the field, his seuerall bands of men.

Strong Hector knew, a deitie, gaue charge to this assay:
Dismist the Councell straight; like waues, clusters to armes do sway:
The ports are all wide open set: out rusht the troopes in swarmes,
Both horse and foote, the citie rung, with suddaine cryed alarmes.

Batieiæ tumulus

A Columne stands without the towne, that high his head doth raise,
A little distant, in a plaine, trod downe with diuers waies:
Which men do Batieia call, but the immortals name
Myrinnes famous sepulcher, the wondrous actiue dame.
Here were th' Auxiliarie bands, that came in Troyes defence,
Distinguisht vnder seuerall guides, of speciall excellence.

Resign'd for conduct the choice youth, of all their martiall brood.
The foole Amphimachus, to field, brought gold to be his wracke;

At Xanthus floud; so little death, did feare his golden life.
