Aristomenes.
Thou messenger to Ioue on high,thou Egle swift of flight:
On Aristomenes his toumbe,
declare why doest thou light?
By this I giue to vnderstande,
that as all birds I passe:
So he did all men farre surmount,
while here a liue he was.
The fearfull Doues doe haunt the toombes
whiche hartlesse dastards hide:
But where are buried champions bolde,
I loue for to abide.
