vii. Venus armed.

As to trye new alarmes,
In Ioues great Court aboue
The wanton Queene of Loue
Of sleeping Mars put on the horrid armes.
Her gazing in a glasse
To see what thing shee was,
To mocke and scoffe the blew-eyed maide did moue.
Who said, sweet Queene thus should yee haue been dight
When Vulcan tooke you napping with your knight.
