The Argvment.

Achilles, at Patroclus suite, doth yeeld
His armes, and Myrmidons; which brought to field,
The Troians flie. Patroclus hath the grace
Of great Sarpedons death, strong of the race
Of Iupiter; he hauing slaine the horse
Of Thetis sonne, (fierce Pedasus,) the force
Of Hector doth reuenge, the much-ru'd end
Of most renown'd Sarpedon, on the friend
Of Thetides; first, by Euphorbus, harm'd
And by Apollos personall powre disarm'd.
