er: her Father vnderstanding, that by her
meanes he should be dispossessed of his Crowne and dignitie; and to the
ende she shoulde not be carried away or stollen of any, he built a
mightie stronge Tower, and there, with a watchfull garde caused her to
bee kept: and shee remayning there in this sort with great content, had
falling into her virgineall lap, drops of Golde._

Vppon the other side was chased out a valiant youth, who with great
reuerence did receiue a protection of a Christall shielde, and with his
sworde afterward cutting off the heade of a terryble woman, and
afterwardes proudly bearing her heade in signe of victorie; Out of the
hotte blood of whome, did rise vp a flying horse: who striking vppon a
Mountaine with one of hys houes, made a strange springe of water to gush

Vpon the fore ende I behelde the mightie _Cupid_, drawing hys golden

poyterelles and furniture about their stronge breasts, was of golde, set
with precious stone, and fringed with siluer and hayre colloured silke,
tyed into knots, in manner of a net worke, and tasseled at euery
prependent point, their caparisons like the other before spoken of.

Vpon these did sit, six fayre virgines, in such pompe and manner as
before, apparelled in cloth of golde, wouen with blewe silke into diuers
leaues & flowers; these had a consort of liuncyers winde Instruments,
full of spirite. And vppon the toppe of the Chariot, was placed a stoole
of green Iasper, set in siluer: needfull in byrth, and medicinable for
chastitie; at the foote it was sixe square, and growing smaller towarde
