Now, constant Heart, t' injoy her Lord desiring,
By th' Queen set Free, whose Promise so requiring;
That Merchant bound for Home soon brought her hither,
To Mantinea thus they came together:
Where nois'd she heard Orsamnes Wedding-Feast,
Her Husband their, prov'd nightly intruding Guest.
Goradnus with those five Comrades, all bound
For Cretan Isle (just vengeance, Doom) were Drown'd.
By th' Queen set Free, whose Promise so requiring;
That Merchant bound for Home soon brought her hither,
To Mantinea thus they came together:
Where nois'd she heard Orsamnes Wedding-Feast,
Her Husband their, prov'd nightly intruding Guest.
Goradnus with those five Comrades, all bound
For Cretan Isle (just vengeance, Doom) were Drown'd.
