The Argument of the x. Epistle, entituled Ariadne to Theseus.
Androgeus by deceyte was done to death
And murthered by the men of Athens towne:
King Minos warrde to wreake his losse of breath,
And brought in fine his sturdie enmies downe,
Seuen mayden Babes, as many men by th' yeare
They yeelded vp to make his Monster cheare.
And murthered by the men of Athens towne:
King Minos warrde to wreake his losse of breath,
And brought in fine his sturdie enmies downe,
Seuen mayden Babes, as many men by th' yeare
They yeelded vp to make his Monster cheare.
By lot they went vntill they came at last
To Theseus, he into the doubtfull denne
(Clept Laberinth) to Minotaur was cast:
But ruthfull Ariadne taught him then
How to destroy the Monster, and to passe
By tracke of twist from Prison where he was
To Theseus, he into the doubtfull denne
(Clept Laberinth) to Minotaur was cast:
But ruthfull Ariadne taught him then
How to destroy the Monster, and to passe
By tracke of twist from Prison where he was
With Ariadne he, and Phædra scapes,
Ariude at Naxus, Bacchus gaue him charge
To leaue the one of those his goodly rapes
(That Ariadne hight) and let hir large.
When night was come, and she to slumber led,
With Phædra he from Ariadne fled:
Ariude at Naxus, Bacchus gaue him charge
To leaue the one of those his goodly rapes
(That Ariadne hight) and let hir large.
When night was come, and she to slumber led,
With Phædra he from Ariadne fled:
The Nymph (when sleepie nap was quite exilde,
And senses came to former force againe,
Seing hir selfe so shamefully beguilde,
In wretched wise with teares began to plaine:
Requesting ruth, and platly making showe
That he to hir a better boone did owe.
And senses came to former force againe,
Seing hir selfe so shamefully beguilde,
In wretched wise with teares began to plaine:
Requesting ruth, and platly making showe
That he to hir a better boone did owe.
