Agamemnon his death.

Whome tenne yeares warres in Phrigian fieldes,
nor Troyans force subdue:
Whome winde, nor Seas, nor tempest hurt,
this Clitemnestra slue.
This famous Prince and Capitaine graunde,
of all the Geekes in fielde:
Whome fame in Phrigia so aduaunced,
his onely spouse him kilde.
Thus fortune friendly flowed fast,
and fauored fame to sounde:
Till frowning fortune foylde the state,
which fawning fortune founde.
