No no great Phœbus, this your silence tends. To hide your grief from knowledge of your friends, Who if they knew the cause in each respect, Would show their utmost skill to cure effect. Apollo, hence a great suspicion grows, Year not so pleasant now, as erst in company, You walk alone, and wander solitary. The pleasant toys we did frequent sometime, Are worn away, and grown out of prime. Your Instrument hath lost his silver found, That rang of late, through all this grovy ground. Your bow wherewith the chase you did frequent, Is closed in case, and long hath be unbent. How differ you from that Apollo now, That whilom sat in shade of Laurel bow, And with the warbling of your Ivory Lute, Allure the Fairies for to dance about. Or from Apollo that with bent bow, Did many a sharp and wounding shaft bestow. A amid the Dragon Pithons scaly wings, And forced his dying blood to spout in springs. Believe me Phebus, who saw you then and now, Would think there were a wondrous change in you. Then Phebus, we can but wish you well again. Fine shifts to colour that you cannot hide, No Phœbus, by your looks may be descried Some hid conceit that harbors in your thought, Which hath therein, some strange impression wrought: That by the course thereof, you seem to me, And other man then you were wont to be. What will you then we do? Phœbus, if you account us for the same, That tender thee, and love Appollos name, Pour forth to us the fountain of your woe, From ̄ whence the spring of these your sorrows slow? If we may any way redress your moan, Command our best, harm will we do you none. Hard hap Oh Phœbus, but sieth it's passed & gone, We wish you to forbear this frustrate moan. No Phœbus? what other pastime shall we find, To make you merry with? Eurania some pleasant Song shall sing. To put you from your dumps.
Plot summary
Plot — The Maid's Metamorphosis
Considering Eurymine too low-born to be a suitable match for his son Ascanio, Duke Telemachus orders two of his gentlemen to escort her from the court and murder her. In the event, however, Phylander persuades his colleague that they have no obligation to follow unlawful orders. They plan to present the Duke with an animal’s heart, claiming it to be hers, and Eurymine agrees to live away from the court in country exile. She meets a forester and a shepherd, each of whom wants her to live with him; when they become competitive, she agrees to accept a cottage from the forester and a flock of sheep from the shepherd. Ascanio goes into the woods looking for Eurymine. Juno finds him asleep and, eager to prove her superiority to Venus, arranges for him to dream of where to find his love. Meanwhile, Eurymine meets Apollo, who is also attracted to her. To save herself from rape, she claims to disbelieve his claims of godhead, and asks him to prove himself by working a miracle: specifically, she asks him to change her sex. He does, but with an associated curse: as a man, she will fall hopelessly in love with another man, and long to be a woman again. Ascanio learns from an echo that Eurymine is nearby but inaccessible, and the hermit Aramanthus, who is also a dispossessed prince, explains her metamorphosis. This disappoints not only Ascanio but also her country admirers, and Aramanthus recommends that she should ask the Graces to intercede with Apollo on her behalf. Apollo eventually agrees and restores her original gender. Telemachus has a change of heart and sends Phylander to bring Eurymine back from the forest. Apollo reveals that she is in fact Aramanthus’ long-lost daughter, and so of royal blood: her status is after all no obstacle to her marriage with Ascanio.
