[Troyes fruitfull Queene did many children beare]
Troyes fruitfull Queene did many children beare,So braue, heroicke, and so stout a Crue:
Who all in noble actions did accrue,
When age had made their Parents bald and bare,
They made their daintlesse courage to appeare,
Amidst the throngs of danger and debate:
Where wars remorselesse stroke kil'd many a Peer,
Whil'st swords, not words, their coūsels did debate:
But bloud on bloud, their fury could not sate,
For fierce Achilles did braue Hector gore:
To guerdon which, the Grecian in his gore,
Did wallow, whilest the Troians laughing sate.
Thus did Achilles bid the world adiew
For Hectors death, Reuenge did claime a due.
