Againe of the Nightingale.
What (Philomela) meanes this fond intentTo hatch thy broode in fell Medæas lap?
What? doste thou hope hir rigor will relent
Towarde thy Babes, that gaue hir owne no pap?
But slue them all at once, and at a clap?
I wote not what thou meanste: vnlesse that shee
Should kill thy Brats, too make the Mother free.
