QVATORZAIN. 4 Euterpe.
Come sisters let vs sing sad roundelaies,And strew green Cypres boughs vpō hir Tombe
Crowning her image with immortall bayes,
Oh sacred ofspring of Latonas wombe,
Play on thy seauen-strunge harpe and sadly warble,
The wailefull murmur of celestiall spheares,
And while thou doest engraue her fame in marble,
Ile digge her graue with showres of sacred teares;
My pipe shall make the stones to weepe for pitte,
As great Amphions Lyre did make them dance,
To build againe the ruynes of that Citie,
Which did maintaine the Grecian puisance,
And yet not Thebes but Troynouant shall mourne
For her whose flesh to Elements did turne.
