2540
Hell and _Elisium_ must be digd in one,
And both will be to litle to contayne,
Numberles numbers of afflicted ghostes,
That I my selfe haue tumbling thither sent.
_Gho._ Now nights pale daughter since thy bloody ioyes,
And my reuengfull thirst fulfilled are,
Doe thou applaud what iustly heauens haue wrought,
While murther on the murtherers head is brought.
_Dis._ _Caesar_ I pitied not thy Tragick end:
Nor tyrants daggers sticking in thy heart, 2550
Nor doe I that thy deaths with like repayd,
But that thy death so many deaths hath made:
Now cloyde with blood, Ile hye me downe below,
And laugh to thinke I caused such endlesse woe.
_Gho._ Sith my reueng is full accomplished,
And my deaths causers by them selues are slaine,
I will descend to mine eternall home,
Where euerlastingly my quiet soule,
The sweete _Elysium_ pleasure shall inioy,
And walke those fragrant flowry fields at rest: 2560
To which nor fayre _Adonis_ bower so rare,
Nor old _Alcinous_ gardens may compare.
There that same gentle father of the spring,
Mild _Zephirus_ doth _Odours_ breath diuine:
Clothing the earth in painted brauery,
The which nor winters rage, nor Scorching heate,
Or Summers sunne can make it fall or fade,
There with the mighty champions of old time,
And great _Heroes_ of the Goulden age,
My dateles houres Ile spend in lasting ioy.
FINIS.
