Tell on, faire Sir, said she, that dolefull tale, xlv From which sad ruth does seeme you to restraine, That we may pitty such vnhappy bale, And learne from pleasures poyson to abstaine: Ill by ensample good doth often gayne. Then forward he his purpose gan pursew, And told the storie of the mortall payne, Which _Mordant_ and _Amauia_ did rew; As with lamenting eyes him selfe did lately vew. Night was far spent, and now in _Ocean_ deepe xlvi _Orion_, flying fast from hissing snake, His flaming head did hasten for to steepe, When of his pitteous tale he end did make; Whilest with delight of that he wisely spake, Those guestes beguiled, did beguile their eyes Of kindly sleepe, that did them ouertake. At last when they had markt the chaunged skyes, They wist their houre was spent; then each to rest him hyes.
