To PENELOPE.
WHen Tyndaris was broght from Troy againe
and princely Pergam leueld with the ground
And fatfed earth with Phrygian flesh was faine
Through shallow furrs faire fruit's for to refound,
The facund wise Ʋlisses most renound,
By fatall answers was foretold wee find,
That he should not in deadlie deep's be dround,
Although withheld with many contrar wind:
Yet that vnhappy and that bastard brat,
That Parricid which from a farre should come,
Telegonus whom he with Circe gat,
Should kill his father at his comming home:
Though I haue past as many storm's as hee,
The last is worst, and for thy loue I die.
