To a longe daungerd seaman in a storme,
Suche as up on _Aeneas_ straglinge fleete At _Juno's_ will by _Aeolus_ was raysd When in his flyght from horror he sawe more Then _Troy_ affoarded; for the newese I brynge Is vyctorie, which crownes the crownes of kynges. _Char_. Cossen _Reinaldo_, if youle sytt and prayse The fayre eies of my fayre love, I will heare Tyll you be tyerd with talkinge. _Rei_. What is this? Is this the voyce of mightie _Charlimayne_? Sir, from your worthye nephewe I am come, The ever feard _Orlando_, who in _Spayne_ Hath with hys owne fame mixt your happynes By a blest vyctorye. _Char_. We have no leasure To heare, nor are we able to contayne Another happynes, nor is theire other. Successe in warre is but a pleasynge dreame From whence a drume may fryght us. Here doth rest My happynes which cannot be exprest. [_Ex. Cha., The., Gab., and attendants_. _Tur_. Pryncely _Reinaldo_, doe not let amaze Strugle within you; you but yet survay The out syde of our wonder. |
