The History of Cleomines and juliet.  
Lord Martial chief of Cretans Coast,  
thus doth he them erect:  
To honours stately Stage of truth,  
and nothing doth suspect.  
That malli●● was the ground and cause,  
to bring unto ●●●ay?  
Claudes●●●es, that constant Lord,  
to Prince a 〈…〉 stay.  
Such thought was far of from his mind,  
he dearly did them love:  
Which afterward, against his grace,  
a mischief great did move.  
Ambitious minds were not content,  
with this estate no doubt:  
But from the Prince the Diadem,  
to reave they went about.  
Aspiring minds, still toil to climb,  
to top of Honour's stall:  
But hasty climbing often times,  
doth catch a sudden fall.  
Yet have I them with Prince in Court,  
as fawning friends to stay:  
And to Claudestines again,  
in Cell, I must my way.  
Whose plaints surmounting seem to show,  
his tears like Rivers run:  
And often he blames the froward fates,  
that s● his file have spun.  
They little mind Claudestines,  
hath notice of their guile:  
They little think he is content,  
to wander in exile.  
Amyntas he is occupied,  
in glistering cups of gold:  
And eke Argastulus doth 〈◊〉,  
his jewels to behold▪  
The one is telling of his coin,  
the other looks for share.  
Thus moiling stands their merry minds  
as mates devoid of care.  
But darksome night Aurora drives,  
to couch in dimmy Den:  
And Titan vanntes in Ethrall clouds,  
whose glimmering beams as then  
Commands them rise, from stately bed,  
and Sophor sweet to shoes:  
And much they bless the God's above,  
that dawning day is won.  
Then up from bed, to Prince the●●ace,  
and humbly him salute:  
And as his friends, Cleomines  
the King doth them repute.  
And gives Amintas Knight the place,  
and Office as his right,  
Of Stewardship, and did created,  
Argastulus false Knight.
