Here Palatine drink, and ever be thou better for this draught. Oh vos Silvani, Satyri, Faunique, Deaque, Nymphae Hamadriades, Driades, Persaeque potentes, Oh vos qui colttes lacusque laeosque profundos, Infernasque domus, & nigra palatia Ditis: Tuque Demogorgon qui noctis fata gubernas, Qui regis infernum, solemque, solumque, coelumque, Exaudite preces, filiasque aufert icantes, In caput Orlandi coelestes spargite lympus, Spargite, quis misere revocetur raptator umbras Orlando infoelix anima. A fury sure worse than Megaera was, That reft her son from trusty Pilades. Time not affords to tell each circum stance? But thrice hath Cynthia change her hiew Since thou infected with a lunasie, Hast gadded up and down these lands & groves Performing strange and ruthful stratagems, All for the love of fair Angelica, Whom thou with Medor didst suppose played false, But Sacrepant had graven these roundelays, To sting thee with infecting jealousy; The swain that told thee of their oft converse, Was servant unto County Sacrepant, And trust me Orlando, Angelica though true to thee, Is banished from the court, And Sacrepnat this day bids battle to Marsillius The armies ready are to give assail, And on a hill that ouerpeeres them both, Stands all the worthy matchless peers of France Who are in quest to seek Orlando out. Muse not at this, for I have told thee true, I am she that cured thy disease, Here take these weapons given thee by the fates, And High thee County to the battle straight. Oh that my Lord would but conceit my tale. Then would I speak and hope to find redress.
