As
Greekes lament their Champions losse, so did the Phrygians ioy
And Priamus did fortifie his stately Cittie Troy.
Twise Hercules had rased it, and thirdly was it reard
By Pryam, strong in wealth and walles, through Asia lou'd and feard.
He cald to minde Laomedon whom Hercules had slayne,
His Sister too Hesione, that Captiue did remayne
In Salamis with Telamon: and well he was apayde,
In that the Doer of the same liu'd not the Greekes to ayde.
His Sister therefore not restorde, his Legates asking it,
By stealing of the Spartane Queene did Paris cry them quit.
Twelue hundred fiftie fiue war-ships, with men and Armor frought,
By seauenty kings & kingly Peeres, from Greece, to Troy were brought
To winne her thence. King Priamus (besides his Empire great)
Had ayders Princes thirtie three: lesse Lords I not repeate,
Nor Sagitar, that in this warre did many a valiant feate.
Tenne yeres, ten moneths, & twise sixe daies, the siege they did abide:
Eight hundred sixtie thousand Greekes by Troian weapons dide:
Sixe hundred fiftie sixe thousands of Troians fighting men,
Besides the slaughtred at the sacke, by Grecians perisht then:
And (if that Hector, Troilus, and Paris so we name)
Fell fortie Kings: omitting more, of little lesser fame.
Mislike, and ciuill quarrels, when the Grecians homewards drewe,
Did well neere waste the remnant Kings that Phrigia did subdewe.
And Priamus did fortifie his stately Cittie Troy.
Twise Hercules had rased it, and thirdly was it reard
By Pryam, strong in wealth and walles, through Asia lou'd and feard.
He cald to minde Laomedon whom Hercules had slayne,
His Sister too Hesione, that Captiue did remayne
In Salamis with Telamon: and well he was apayde,
In that the Doer of the same liu'd not the Greekes to ayde.

Mislike, and ciuill quarrels, when the Grecians homewards drewe,
Did well neere waste the remnant Kings that Phrigia did subdewe.
Thus secure Troy was ouer-set, when Troy was ouer stout,
And ouer rich, was ouer-runne, and tardie lookt about.
The Greekish ships with Phrigian spoiles through Xant & Simoes roe,
For now Antenor had betraid Palladium to the foe,
And with Palladium Priamus: AEneas sought to hide
From Pyrrhus Polyxena (she for whom Achilles dide,
Wherefore vpon Achilles tombe her selfe was after slayne,
What tyme old Hecuba descryde yoong Polydor his bayne)
For which, AEneas banished, did hoyst his sayles to winde,
And, after many perils, rule in Italie did finde.
And ouer rich, was ouer-runne, and tardie lookt about.
