hew: Siluer _Stremonia_, whose faire Christall waues, Once founded great _Alcides_ echoing fame: When as he slew that fruitefull headed snake, Which _Lerna_ long-time fostered in her wombe: Shall in more tragick accentes and sad tunes, Eccho the terror of thy dismall sight, _Hemus_ shall fat his barren fieldes with bloud: 2120 And yellow _Ceres_ spring from woundes of men, The toyling husband-men in time to come, Shall with his harrow strike on rusty helmes, And finde, and wonder, at our swordes and speares, And with his plowe dig vp braue _Romans_ graues: ACT. 5.
