AT length, euen at the time when Morpheu••Most truely doth appeare vnto our eyes,Wearie to see th'inconstance of the heauens:I saw the great Typhaeus sister come,Hir head full brauely with a morian armed,In maiestie she seemde to matche the Gods.And on the shore, harde by a violent streame,She raisde a Trophee ouer all the worlde.An hundred vanquisht kings gronde at hir feete,Their armes in shamefull wise bounde at their backes.While I was with so dreadfull sight afrayde,I saw the heauens warre against hir tho,And seing hir striken fall with clap of thunder,With so great noyse I start in sodaine wonder.
