[Aenêas, Orphêus, Cephall, and Demophôn]
Aenêas, Orphêus, Cephall, and Demophôn:Of Pocrîs, of Eurydice, Phyllis, and Creuse:
Haue made complaintes, as they haue beene amorous,
Saying, theyr mistresses, did doo them all wrong,
Though they themselues to theyr loues, did all amisse,
For one gaue Phyllis, a poore mournefull se-quell,
And th'other, left Procris, in the vall's of hell,
And with t'others fault, di-ed Euridice.
Aenêas, the last was thought to haue least fault.
Though the presumpsion is yet great for all that.
But (Dian) you knoe (Dian) your amourous,
Hath not learned lyke any of them Protê.
Though you are Demoph, Cephall, Orpheus, Aenê:
And he be Eurid, Phyllis, Procris, and Creuse.
