Of Timæa, Queene of Sparta.
Timæa
faire, was LACEDEMONS Queene,
Yet shee defyl'd King AGIS Royall Bed;
Lay with a Stranger, erst vnknowne, vnseene;
Was ostracism'd, and had from ATHENS fled.
Shee bore a Sonne, the Seede of Sinne and Shame;
And LEOTICHID was the Bastards Name.

Yet LEOTICHID looked to bee crown'd,
When AGIS died. TIMÆA, foolish Hoore,
Tolde, ALCIBIAD got him. Thus renown'd
AGESILA did SPARTANS Crowne procure.
VVomen are weake, and Vessels fonde, and frayle;
But hang the Hoore keepes neyther Tongue nor Tayle.
