Jn victoriam dolo partam.
What dolefull dame is this in greate dispaire?
This prowes is, whoe mournes on Aiax toombe:
What is the cause, shee rentes her goulden haire?
Wronge sentence paste by Agamemnons doombe:
But howe? declare, Vlisses filed tonge,
Allur'de the Iudge, to giue a Iudgement wronge.

For when, that dead Achyllis was in graue,
For valiante harte, did Aiax winne the fame:
Whereby, he claim'de Achyllis armes to haue,
Vlisses yet, was honored with the fame:
His suttle speeche, the iudges did preferre,
And Aiax wrong'de, the onelie man of warre

Vlisses yet, was honored with the fame:
His suttle speeche, the iudges did preferre,
And Aiax wrong'de, the onelie man of warre
Wherefore, the Knighte impatient of the same,
Did loose his wittes, and after wroughte his ende:
Loe, heare the cause that moou'de this sacred dame,
On Aiax toombe, with griefe her time too spende:
Which warneth vs, and those that after liue,
To beare them righte, when iudgement they do giue.
