The Argument.
How Lord Æneas did depart from Troye,and wandring long, ariu'de on Itaile coste:
And wonne Lauinia to his spoused ioye,
though Fortune fel, his minde in turmoiles tost.
How Brutus did within this Ile ariue,
and dying did deuide the same in three:
How Louers twaine, in boyling flames did striue,
to ioyne theyr harts in linckes of amytie.
How fates did frown, before they could possesse,
their wished willes, which they did long desire:
And yet obtainde, their sorrowes were no lesse,
then when they fryed in flames of Cupids fire
How rufully they bothe did end their dayes,
to the distresse of Parents dolefull mindes:
These things at large, this Storie plaine displaies,
as who so reades, full straunge in sequell findes.
