The Argument of the replie to the seconde Epistle, entituled Demophoon to Phyllis.
Herein his treason and delayDemophoon minded to deface,
That had ybene so long away
from friendly Phyllis noble grace:
Somtime vpon his Countrie men
the lingring Louer layes the blame:
On perillous passage now and then,
and lacke of winde he cast the same.
But last in spite of waue and winde
he made hir promisse to reuart:
And so he did, in hope to finde
the Queene as when he did depart.
But oh, impacient of hir panges,
that she had for hir guest sustainde,
In Almon tree good Phyllis hanges,
and this was all the Hostesse gainde.
