LXXXII. Expansio Columnæ præcedentis.

A At last, though late, farewell olde wellada; A
m Mirth for mischaunce strike vp a newe alarm; m
a And Ciprya la nemica mia a
r Retyre to Cyprus Ile and cease thy warr, r
e Els must thou proue how Reason can by charme e
E Enforce to flight thy blyndfold bratte and thee. E
s So frames it with me now, that I confess s
t The life I ledde in Loue deuoyd of rest t
I It was a Hell, where none felt more then I, I
n Nor any with like miseries forlorn. n
s Since therefore now my woes are wexed less, s
a And Reason bids me leaue olde wellada, a
n No longer shall the world laugh me to scorn: n
i I'le choose a path that shall not leade awri. i
r Rest then with me from your blinde Cupids carr r
e Each one of you, that serue and would be free. e
“
τον τοι τυρανον ευσεβειν ου ραδιον

Sophoc. in Aia. flagell.

His double thrall that liu's as Loue thinks best
“Whose hand still Tyrant like to hurt is prest.
