The beginning of the epistle of Pene∣lope to Vlisles, made in∣to verse.
O Lingring make Ulisses dere, thy wife lo sendes to thee,
He•• driry plaint write not againe, but come thy selfe to me.
Our hatefull scourge that womans foe proud Troy now is fordon
We bye it derer, though Priam slaine, and all his kingdome won.
O that the raging surges great that lechers bane had wrought,
When first with sh••p he forowed seas, and Lacedemon sought,
In desert bed my shiuering coarse then shold not haue sought rest,
Nor take in griefe the cherefull sunne so slowly fall to west.
And whiles I ca••t long rūning nightes, how best I might begile,
No dista•••• should my widowish hand haue weary made the while.
When dread I not more daungers great then are befall in dede:
Loue is a carefull thing God wot, and passing full of drede.
