Once Sparta was a famous towne: Great Mycene florisht trim: Bothe Athens and Amphions towres in honor once did swim. A pelting plot is Sparta now: great Mycene lyes on ground. Of Theab the towne of Oedipus what have we more than sound? Of Athens, king Pandions towne, what resteth more than name?

Thus lakes and streames (as well perceyve yee may) Have divers powres and diversly. Even so the tyme hathe beene That Delos which stands stedfast now, on waves was floting seene. And Galyes have beene sore afrayd of frusshing by the Iles Symplegads which togither dasht uppon the sea erewhyles, But now doo stand unmovable ageinst bothe wynde and tyde. Mount Aetna with his burning Oovens of brimstone shall not byde Ay fyrye: neyther was it so for ever erst.

Bothe fyre and swoord shall unto thee thy passage freely give. Thou must from hence: and Troy with thee convey away in haste, Untill that bothe thyself and Troy in forreine land bee plaast More freendly than thy native soyle. Moreover I foresee, A CitiTroy in forreine land bee plaast More freendly than thy native soyle. Moreover I foresee, A Citie by the offspring of the Trojans buylt shall bee, So great as never in the world the lyke was seene before Nor is this present, neyther shall be seene for evermore.
