To PENELOPE.

WHen Alexander did subdue and bring The coastly Iles of Inde to his Empire, Hee captiue tooke proud Porus Indian King, And bid him aske what most he did desire? Nought said braue Porus do I now require, But that thou vse me as a King should bee, Thou shalt haue friendly hostage to thy hyre: And for my sake I graunt thy sute (said hee.) Long with my passions haue I borne debate, Oft haue I fought, and now haue lost the feeld, It is my fortune for to be defeate. I am thy Captiue, and faire Dame I yeeld: As Macedo was to the King of Jnde, If not mine, yet for thy cause be kinde.
