But I Did latch her streight, and bearing her aflote did lowd thus crie: O Neptune with thy threetynde Mace who hast by lot the charge Of all the waters wylde that bound uppon the earth at large, To whom wee holy streames doo runne, in whome wee take our end, Draw neere, and gently to my boone effectually attend.

And then he told them how the birds nyne yeeres did signifie Which they before the towne of Troy not taking it should lye. The Serpent as he wound about the boughes and braunches greene, Became a stone, and still in stone his snakish shape is seene. The seas continewed verry rough and suffred not theyr hoste Imbarked for to passe from thence to take the further coast. Sum thought that Neptune favored Troy bycause himself did buyld The walles therof. But Calchas (who both knew, and never hilld His peace in tyme) declared that the Goddesse Phebe must Appeased bee with virgins blood for wrath conceyved just. As soone as pitie yeelded had to cace of publicke weale, And reason got the upper hand of fathers loving zeale, So that the Ladye Iphigen before the altar stood Among the weeping ministers, to give her maydens blood: The Goddesse taking pitie, cast a mist before theyr eyes,
