The Argvment.
The
Gods now leauing an indifferent field,
The Greekes preuaile, the slaughterd Troians yeeld;
Hector (by Hellenus aduice) retires
In haste to Troy; and Hecuba, desires
To pray Minerua, to remoue from fight
The sonne of Tydeus, her affected knight;
And vow to her (for fauour of such price)
Twelue Oxen should be slaine in sacrifice.
In meane space, Glaucus and Tydides meete;
And either other, with remembrance greet
Of old Ioue twixt their fathers; which enclines
Their hearts to friendship; who change armes for signes
Of a continu'd loue for eithers life.
Hector, in his returne, meets with his wife;
And taking, in his armed armes, his sonne,
He prophecies the fall of Ilion.
