To PANDORA.

When Scythian Lords long frō their lands had bein
Their slanes vsurp'd their absent Maisters place:
both wealth & wiues they breok'd before their eine
And did the same seuen yeares posses in peace:
They turning home, and seeing such disgrace,
fought with their seruants for their wealth & wiues
But by the men the maisters gat the chase,
And hardly scap'd with hazard of their liues.
Then they consult with neither swords nor glaues,
Nor open warres, to make their foes to yeeld,
with whips & wands they bat their randring slaues
And by the change of weapons wan the feeld.
Since sighs, nor teares, nor ditties can subdue thee
I must (faire sweet) with Scythian armes persue thee
