The Argument of the first Epistle, entituled Penelope to Vlysses.
The
angrie Greekes for Helens rape preparde
To Troie: when wise Vlysses marryde late
A furie fainde, in hope to haue bene sparde:
But Palamede lothing to lose a Mate
So needefull as Vlysses was, bewrayde
The fraude of him that gladly would haue stayde.
To Troie: when wise Vlysses marryde late
A furie fainde, in hope to haue bene sparde:
But Palamede lothing to lose a Mate
So needefull as Vlysses was, bewrayde
The fraude of him that gladly would haue stayde.
Away he goes. When ten yeares warre was spent,
And flaunting Troie troden to the ground:
With other Greekes to shippe Vlysses went,
But Pallas then the wrathfull Goddesse fround,
And made the Grecians greedie of their home,
Full ten yeares space on surging Seas to rome.
And flaunting Troie troden to the ground:

But Pallas then the wrathfull Goddesse fround,
And made the Grecians greedie of their home,

Which absence long Penelope aggrieude,
That little space hir husband had enioyde:
(Forsaken wight) she verilie belieude
Some other Lasse Vlysses had acoyde.
And this procurde the louing wife to wright,
That she his cause of absence learne might.
