The Argvment.
In
two parts, Troyes host parted; Thetis sonne,
One to Scamander, one to Ilion
Pursues. Twelue Lords he takes aliue, to end
In sacrifice, for vengeance to his friend.
Asteropæus, dies by his fierce hand,
And Priams sonne, Lycaon. Ouer land
The flood breakes: where, Achilles being engag'd,
Vulcan preserues him; and with spirit enrag'd,
Sets all the Champaine, and the Flood on fire;
Contention then, doth all the gods inspire.
Apollo, in Agenors shape, doth stay
Achilles furie; and by giuing way,
Makes him pursue; till the deceipt giues leaue,
That Troy, in safetie, might her freinds receiue.
