The Argument of the xxj. Epistle, entituled Cydippe to Acontius.
When
Cydip saw hir furious fits increase,
And fretting Feuer grow to worse disease,
Then thought she verily that no release
Was to be had, vnlesse she mought appease
Dianas wrath: wherefore she thought it best
To stand vnto hir former plighted hest.
And fretting Feuer grow to worse disease,
Then thought she verily that no release
Was to be had, vnlesse she mought appease
Dianas wrath: wherefore she thought it best
To stand vnto hir former plighted hest.
Then tooke she pen in hand, then gan she write
These following lynes to Aconce, making showe
That she would yeelde, and banish rigour quite,
And pay the det to him that she did owe:
Crauing his helpe in peasing Goddesse yre,
That she to health the sooner might aspyre
These following lynes to Aconce, making showe
That she would yeelde, and banish rigour quite,
And pay the det to him that she did owe:
Crauing his helpe in peasing Goddesse yre,
That she to health the sooner might aspyre
