The Argument of the xiij. Epistle, entituled Laodameia to Protesilaus.
With
fourtie sayle when Protesilaus went
To Troie warde, to fight for Helens rape
The tempest so withstoode the Greekes intent,
As they from out port Aulide could not scape.

The tempest so withstoode the Greekes intent,
As they from out port Aulide could not scape.
When flickring fame this brute had blasted wide,
His louing wife Laodameia wrought
Him thus, she shewes hir dreames, she willes beside
That he the Prophets wordes should print in thought.
His louing wife Laodameia wrought
Him thus, she shewes hir dreames, she willes beside
That he the Prophets wordes should print in thought.
Whose aunswere was, that who so leapt to lande
First of the Greekes when they to Troie came,
Should die the death, t'was bootelesse to withstande,
For why the Gods appointed had the same.

He naythelesse for all his spouses woordes.
(Coragious Lad) first leapt from ship to shore,
And for his paine, was done to death with sworde,
As bad the Oracle pronounst before,
This was the cause Laodameia pende
These lines, this made the wife this Pistle sende.
