Wherein the Furies maske in hellish troupes, ·dad015·

The spirit _Askalon_ to come to me,
To pierce the bowels of this Centricke earth,
And hither come in twinkling of an eye,

It thunders and lightens, and then the spirit riseth vp.

And twas ten to one, old Ione had not gone out.

Euen in these silly creatures of his hands, [dae005]
Vnckle Gloster, how hie your Hawke did sore? [dae006]
And on a sodaine soust the Partridge downe. [dae007]
