The speech of her wooers chalenging her by promise.
COme on (sweet nimph) what answer now?Your towe is twist, your web is wrought,With speede performe your sacred vow:Thy murmring mate his death hath sought:Harpyades haue on him fed,The citie-spoiler he is dead.
descriptionPage [unnumbered]
Thee for to wed is al our sute,And now thy answere we expect:Therefore say quicke, be not so mute,Which of our sutes wilt thou accept?If thou no ready answere make,Thy house we neuer wil forsake.
(Sweete Nimph) resolue vs now with speede,Thinke ere thou speake, denie not flat:For we are they can do the deede:Thou maist refuse thou knowest not what:Make readie Hymaeneus bed,For why, we must and will thee wed.
