Scen. 7.
Chorus, Song 1.
1.
Acteon was not wise,Diana him espies,
And caused him to be by Dogs tore.
Because he did her see
Naked with modesty,
And grac'd him with two horns before.
2.
Hellen she was most fair,Paris thought none compare
Unto her well shap'd soul and face;
She did at length destroy
And caus'd both famine and disgrace,
3.
Demonica that Queen,VVho for lucre and gain
Betraid Ephesus with a wile
Unto Brennus that man,
VVhich afterwards became
His sole distruction and exile.
4.
And Atalanta, sheDid chaste Peleus see,
Would not give way unto her will,
She falsely did accuse,
And basely did abuse
Him, to Acasius of ill.
[Chorus.]
Song 2.
You see by these four examples,
how women they do fail,
In any matter that mantles,
the good in ill prevail:
They seek with sweet sugard words,
And all things that pleasure affords,
for to destroy
their onely joy,
be they tar Knights or Lords:
Then fie upon this world, that such a thing should be.

And all things that pleasure affords,

Then fie upon this world, that such a thing should be.
Then let us leave those silly brats,
that do perdition bring,
And discourse of more serious that's
belonging Aberden:
He draws his stout Captains on,
And his potent Army long,
against his foe,
which he doth know
to be of the same throng:
Then fie upon this world, that such a thing should be.
