“Some Troians say hee should deposed bee From kingdome quite, or else bee slaine hee should, And wee here byde, eke this mislyketh me, Nay rather while wee stay keepe him in hold, Or let him pay a raunsome large of gold, And hostage geue, and homage doe of right To thee, that wonst the fielde by Martiall fight.[156] 20. “For kingdomes sake a captiue king to kill, As euill abroade as in his natiue lande,[157] For vs in Greece to dwell were euen as ill, The force of Greece we cannot still withstande. Let vs therefore both cruelty abande, And prudent seeke both gods and men to please: So shall we finde good lucke at lande and seas.[158] 21. “Or sith the Græcians will thee for to take The noble Ladie _Iunogen_ to wyfe, If thou so please, let him her dowry make Of golde, ships, siluer, corne, for our reliefe, And other thinges, which are in _Græcia_ ryfe. That we so fraught may seeke some desert shore, Where thou and thyne may raygne for euermore.[159]” 22. This pleas’d both _Brutus_ and the Troians all, Who wil’d forthwith that _Pandrasus_ the King, Should reuerently be brought into the hall, And present when they tolde him of this thing: So griefe and sorowe great his heart did stinge, He could not shewe by countenaunce or cheere That he it lik’d, but spake as you shall heare. 23. “Sith that the wrath of gods hath yeelded me,[160] And eke my brother, captiues to your hands, I am content to do as pleaseth yee, You haue my realme, my lyfe, my goods and landes,[161] I must be needes content as Fortune standes. I gieue my daughter, gold, and siluer fine, With what for dowry els you craue is myne.” 24. To make my tale the shorter if I may, This truce concluded was immediately:[162] And all thinges else performed by a day, The King restor’d that did in pryson lie. The Troians parted from the shores, perdy,[163] Did hoyse vp sayles, in two dayes and a night Vpon the Ile of Lestrigons[164] they light. 25. And leauing of their ships at roade, to land They wandring went the countrey for to vew: Loe there a desert city olde they fand, And eke a temple (if reporte bee true) Where in Dianas temple olde, the crew[165] To[166] sacrifice their captaine counsaile gaue For good successe, a seate and soyle to craue.[167] 26.
