Good Fame then told him, that the only way,
How he this enterprize accomplish may,
Was by the helpe of mercy, prudence, art,
Iustice and zeale, and Constancy of heart.
All their knowne friends to summon vp in armes,
To force the place, and to disperse those swarmes
Of idle vagabonds; who kept below
And hated good Fame, would not true fame know.
Then (since the stayres of fame were broken downe,
And does stopt vp to glory and renowne)
She wild him make an engine wherewithall,
He might her lodging and her sisters scale.
And so himselfe in spite of perill, raise
Aboue the reach of enuy, or dispraise.
