The beginning of Heliodorus his Æthiopical History.
As soone as Sun-beames could once peepe out fro the mountayne
And by the dawne of day had somewhat lightned Olympus,
Men, whose lust was law, whose life was stil to be lusting,
Whose thryuing theeuing, conueyd themselues to an hil-top,
That stretched forward to the Heracleotical entry
And mouth of Nylus: looking thence downe to the maine-sea
For sea-faring men; but seeing none to be sayling,
They knew 'twas booteles to be looking there for a booty:
Soe that straight fro the sea they cast theyr eyes to the sea-shore;
Where they saw, that a ship very strangely without any shipman
Lay then alone at roade, with cables tyde to the maine-land,
And yet full-fraighted, which they, though farr, fro the hil-top,
Easily might perceaue by the water drawne to the deck-boords
And by the dawne of day had somewhat lightned Olympus,

And yet full-fraighted, which they, though farr, fro the hil-top,
Easily might perceaue by the water drawne to the deck-boords
But men on euery side lay scattred along by the sea-shore,
Some dead, some dying, some whose corps heauily panting
Shewed a late fighting, though noe iust cause of a fighting:
Onely a man might gesse, there had been some bloody banket
Which to the guests quaffing gaue such vnfortunat ending.
For bancks with tables, tables with daynty deuises
And delicate dishes were there well stored, amongst which
Some seru'd as weapons in this soe desperat onset,
Weapons with pale hands of dead-men greedily clasped:
Some lay as cou'rings on such as feare had amazed,
Cou'rings for feint harts whoe thither seem'd to be creeping,
Cupps were all throwne downe; some fell fro the greedy carowsers
Hands feint and feeble; some flew like stones fro the fingers
Of them, whoe new shifts for deadlifts quickly preparing,
Vsd' bowles for bullets, and caused pots to be pellets.

Of them, whose carkas lay mangled along by the sea-shoare,
Some with fire were burnt, and some were brusde with a leuer,
Some with an axe were knockt, and some were hurt with a shel-fish,
With shels of sea-fish, by the sea-shore euer abounding,
Some this way, some that; but most with feathered arrowes.

Soe blood brewd with wyne, soe buffets ioyn'd to the banquets,
Killing with swilling and beating vnto the eating,
Caused a strange wonder to the theeues, whoe saw fro the hil-top
Men kyld, noe killers; many dead, noe conqueror extant,
Victory, noe spoyling, shipp fraughted, yet not a shipman.

Caused a strange wonder to the theeues, whoe saw fro the hil-top
Men kyld, noe killers; many dead, noe conqueror extant,
Victory, noe spoyling, shipp fraughted, yet not a shipman.
But, notwithstanding for a time they stood thus amazed,
Yet for greedy desire of gaine they hastened onward
And drew nere to the place, where men lay all to bemangled,
And ship-full-fraughted; thinking themselues to bee victors.

But good God, what a sight, what a strange sight, yea, what a sweet sight,
And yet a woeful sight, to the theeues vnlookt-for apeared?
There was a maide soe made, as men might thinck her a Goddesse,
There was a sweete-fac't maide, that sate on a rock by the sea-shore,
Sate on a rock full sad to behold this desperat outrage,
Sad, yet not dismaid to behold this desperat outrage,
For that a maidens face was there well matcht with a mans-hart.
Lawrel crowned her head, but her head gaue grace to the lawrell:
Left hand arm'd with a bow, and back with a quyuer adorned,
Right hand held vp her head; her thye was a stay to the right hand:
Head neuer mouing, eyes euer fixed on one thing,
Fixed on one yong man sore wounded downe by the sea-shore.

Head neuer mouing, eyes euer fixed on one thing,
Fixed on one yong man sore wounded downe by the sea-shore.
Sore-wounded yongman now lifted his eyes to the heauens
Heauily, like to a man that's wak'ned late from a dead sleepe,
And yet he seemed faire and looked louely for all that;
And though some bloody spots his face had lately defaced,
His whitenes by the red more fresh and liuely apeared.

And yet he seemed faire and looked louely for all that;
And though some bloody spots his face had lately defaced,
His whitenes by the red more fresh and liuely apeared.
Sore-wounded yongman for grief now closed his eye-lidds,
And yet he causd this mayd very steedily stil to behold him,
Stil to behold his wounds and face very steedily, soethat
Whosoe lookt to the mayd must alsoe looke to the yongman;
Whoe, when he came t'himself, these woords very faintily vttred:
And art thou yet saulf, thou sweetest soule of a thousand,
Or by thy death hast thou augmented this bloody slaughter?
Whether death doe triumph, or whether life be prolonged,
Whom Loue hath ioyned, noe death shall cause to be seu'red.
In thee alone doe I ioy, and for thee alone am I liuing,
On thee alone doe I see my wealth to be wholly depending.
And yet he causd this mayd very steedily stil to behold him,
Stil to behold his wounds and face very steedily, soethat
Whosoe lookt to the mayd must alsoe looke to the yongman;
Whoe, when he came t'himself, these woords very faintily vttred:
And art thou yet saulf, thou sweetest soule of a thousand,
Or by thy death hast thou augmented this bloody slaughter?
Whether death doe triumph, or whether life be prolonged,
Whom Loue hath ioyned, noe death shall cause to be seu'red.
In thee alone doe I ioy, and for thee alone am I liuing,
On thee alone doe I see my wealth to be wholly depending.
And thee alone I doe loue, that sweete Nymph quickly replyed,
On thee alone I relye: therefore was I fully resolued,
With this knife, loe here, t'haue speedily giu'n mee my deaths-wound
But that I lookt for life, and hoapt for a tymely recou'ry.
On thee alone I relye: therefore was I fully resolued,
With this knife, loe here, t'haue speedily giu'n mee my deaths-wound
But that I lookt for life, and hoapt for a tymely recou'ry.
Thus said, lightly she leapt fro the stone; which made the beholders
Like men lately amazd with a lightning, run to the bushes,
And there hyde themselues for feare and wonder among them
For, standing vpright, this mayde more stately apeared,
And much more diuine, and farr more lyke to a Goddesse.
Her shafts on shoulders did clash by her hasty remouing,
Her gold-wrought garments by the Sun-beames glystred about her,
And fro the greene garland her fayre hayre sweetly beseeming
Scattred abroade by the wynde, fell dayntily downe to the gyrdle:
Which princelyke marching of a mayden greatly apaled
Those timorous vagabonds, whoe peeping out fro the bushes
Saw thus a strange wonder, but knew noe cause of a wonder.

Some said, Sure this Nymph must needs be the mighty Diana.
Some rather thought her that great Ægyptian Isis
Whom those men worshipt; and some were flatly resolued
That some Priest of Gods inspyr'd with fury from heauen
Had causd that bloodshed; soe euery man was a gessing,
Noeman gessed aright, noeman came nere to the matter.

But shee away gan fly, and ran forthwith to the yongman,
Weeping sore for his hurts, his wounds very daintily wiping,
Kissing, embracing, pitying, and greatly bewayling
His late misfortune and griefe; which causd the beholders
Quickly to change their minde and former opinion alter.
And are these, said they, such wondrous woorks of a Goddesse?
What? can a Goddesse kisse, can a Goddesse clip thus a dead-man?
What? can such loue-tricks and fancies fly to the heauens?
Nay, then downe lets goe, and see what may bee the matter:
Soe then downe they goe to behold what might be the matter,
Goe to the mayde; whoe then this yongmans wounds was a dressing.

Soe then downe they goe to behold what might be the matter,
Goe to the mayde; whoe then this yongmans wounds was a dressing.
When they came to the mayde, they stopt and staid on a soddaine,
And not a woord, for life, was there once vttred among them,
And not a deede, for life, was there attempted among them,
But like stocks or stones they stoode very ghastly beside her.
And not a woord, for life, was there once vttred among them,
And not a deede, for life, was there attempted among them,
But like stocks or stones they stoode very ghastly beside her.
When she beheld the shadoes of men stand rightly before her,
And perceaued a sound and noyse of somewhat about her;
Thereat somewhat mou'd, herself shee remoued a litle,
And lookt back for a while, but againe very speedily stouped
Downe to the yongmans wounds, and them with care was a dressing,
Noething troubled at all to behold that company theeuish,
Which there gapte for a pray, and glistred in armor about her.
Such is true-loues force, that where it taketh a lyking,
There noe payne is felt, noe pleasure can be regarded
In respect of that which is soe dearely beloued.

In respect of that which is soe dearely beloued.
But when those Rakehells gan march on bowldly before her
With fowle black visages, making some shew of an onset,
Vp then againe, poore wench, herself shee began to bee lyfting,
And thus spake, theyr lookes, and countnance ougly beholding.
Yf that you be the ghosts of such as lately departed,
Then doe yee vs greate wrong with such strange sights to molest vs:
For moste parte of you yourselus haue fylthyly murdred,
And wee for our sauegard, God knowes, were forc't to be fighting
Syth force and violence were offered vnto my person:
Yf not ghosts but men, then sure yee bee theeues, as apeareth
By your night-walking; and wee shall thinck it a pleasure,
If you cause our death, our death cause griefe to be dying.

Thus shee bewayld her woe; but alas those barbarus outlawes
Vnderstood noe woord, noe part of her heauy bewayling;
But there left them alone as noething lyke to be starting;
And ran straight to the ship with treasures wished abounding,
With precious diamonds, gold, syluer, curius arrace
Cloathes, and finest sylk themselus all heauyly loading,
Other wares, that were of lesse price, lightly regarding.

When that enough was brought, and pray pleasd greedy desyring,
All was caste on a heape, and then they fell to dyuyding
And parting booties, by the greatenes, not by the goodnes,
Thincking afterwards, of those poore sowles to determyne,
Pooreman, poore mayden. But now whilst this was a working,
Other theeues gan aproach, whose foremen lustyly praunsing
Were two stout horsemen, resolute, and fram'd for an onset.

First theeues feare last theeues (one robber robbeth an other)
Feare, and fly for feare; and leaue theyr booty behynde them,
Least by a quyck pursuyte theyr pray might chaunce to betray them
Into the hands of these last theeues, in number abounding,
They ten, these thrice ten. Now, now that louely Virago
Was captyued againe, poore sowle, and yet not a captyue.

Was captyued againe, poore sowle, and yet not a captyue.
For these last rouers, though greedyly bent to the booty.
Yet somwhat fearefull (theeues always vse to be fearefull)
And with wonder amasd (such sight might well be a wonder)
Paused a whyle, and thought those former theeues to be autors
Of this fowle outrage: but when they lastly reflected
Theyr distracted sight to the braue and glorius obiect
Of sweete Nymph, with strange attyre yet costly adorned,
Stowt-hart Nymph, that styrd not a foote nor feard any danger,
(And yet well, toowell shee might haue feared a danger)
Constant Nymph, whose eyes, hart, hands were bent to the yongman,
Louing Nymph, pytying this youngman more then her owneself,
(And yet most pytyfull, God knows, shee seemed her ownself)
Theeues themselus, rude theeues were eu'n compeld to be wondring
At this mayds courage, nothing dismayd at a myschif,
At this mayds persnage, noething empayrd by a myschif,
At this man, though sore, yet tall and comely apearing
Eu'n as hee lay on ground; for now was hee somwhat amended,
And had strength at length and former beauty recou'red.

After much gazing, theyr guyde and capten aproaching
Caught poore mayde by the hande, and bade her for to bee rysing
And accompany hym: poore mayde surprysde by the capten
Vnderstood not a woord, (as borne in a contrary countrey)
And yet gest what hee ment: and cleaued fast to the yongman,
And held yongman fast, and euery way shee declared;
Vnles yongman went, shee neuer meant to be going,
Vnles yongman went, herself shee meant to be murdring,
And with a knife in her hand to her hart shee begins to be poynting.

Which when theyre capten (with some compassion harcknyng)
Partly by her wyld talk perceau'd, but chiefly by gesture,
And saw this yongman, though wounded, yet to be manly,
And very lyke to be fitt for some greate noble auenture
If that he once might chaunce his former strength to recouer,
Hymself dismounting commaunds his squyre to be lighting,
And yongman youngmayd to the horses straight to be lysting,
Then byds his fellowes take opportunyty offred,
And make haste after, when spoyles and booty be gathred:
Himself by theyr sydes stil runs as a page or a lackey,
Staying wounded-man, weake mayde for feare of a falling.

Thus was a Lord at last made vassall vnto a vassall,
Thus was a braue capten made captyue vnto a captyue;
Soe doth Noblesse woork, and soemuch bewty preuayleth,
That very theeues themselus it some cyuylyty teacheth,
And theyr bruytish breasts to a new humanyty frameth.

Thus for two forlongs they passed along by the sea-shore;
Then leauing Neptune, they turn'd theyr course to the left-hand
Ouer a hill to a poole, which there lyes downe in a valley,
Valley growne to a lake and standing poole by the swelling
And ouerflowing of Nilus downe to the valley:
Poole very huge and deepe, whose vtmost bryms by the marshes,
As salt sea by the shore, enclosd, was a notable harbor
Of rogues and robbers and all Ægyptian outlawes.

As salt sea by the shore, enclosd, was a notable harbor
Of rogues and robbers and all Ægyptian outlawes.
Theyr floating whyrries are soe contryued in order,
That they serue these theeues as well for coates to be dwelling,
As for boates, by the poole, that rogish sea, to be passing:
Since each part of land lyes ouerspred by the water,
But some smale angles and nookes, that chaunce to be peeping
Here and there by the poole: whereon these raskaly scapethriftes
Patch vprude cotages, fitt bowres for such an asembly.
In these boates theyr trulles and wyues keepe vsual howshold,
Here theyr bratts are borne and bred, sit neast for a poole-byrde.
Poole-byrde first brought foorth, sucks mothers mylk for a season,
Then feeds on fishes, when sucking dayes be determynd,
Fishes caught in poole, and rosted a whyle by the sun-beames.
But when hee fynds his feete, and gyns by the boate to be creeping,
One legg's tyde to a cord, for feare of a fall or a ducking:
Soe this yong crackrope, by a corde is traynd to a halter,
And scapes from drownyng, that hee may growe fit for a hangyng.
Euery yonker that fro the poole thus takes a begynnyng,
In this poole stil keepes, and there doth he make his abyding:
Poole is his howse and home; in poole his lyfe hee reposeth
Poole is a trusty refuge which poole-babes strongly protecteth.

This makes wandryng squyres that lyue by the spoyle of an other,
Shyfters, nyght-walkers, rouers, and all the detested
Pack of rogues to the poole, tag, rag, to be dayly repayring,
As Lords and Ladies of a lake, securely triumphing.
For this marsh with reedes, this poole with water abounding,
Water seru's as a wall, and reedes in steede of a bullwarck.
And for a further? strength to the place, they craftyly framed
Dyuers blynde by wayes and crooked walks with a thousand
Turnyngs and wyndings, aswell known vnto the autors
And marshmen themselus, as not known vnto a stranger.
Soe that on euery syde they thinck theyr fort to be fenced,
And noe danger at all, and noe pursuyte to be seared.
