Epig. 30. On Sir Phillip Sydneys Decease.

When Æricina saw brave Sydney die,
She threw her purple Ceston clean away:
(As when Adonis bath'd in blood did lie
At her faire feet) weeping, she thus did say,
For Mars I plaine, and not for him alone,
In Sydney, Mars, and Sminthus both are gone.
 

Venus.

A name of Apollo.
