From mighty Iuno, Ioues immortal wife, Somnus I come: to charge thee on thy life, That thou unto this Gentleman appear, And in this place, thus as he lieth here, Present his mistress to his inward eyes, In as true manner, as thou canst devise. I would thou wert hanged for waking me. Three sons I have, the eldest Morpheus hight: He shows of man, the shape or sight. The second Icelor, whose behests Doth show the forms of birds and beasts. Phantasor for the third, things lifeless he: Choose which like thee of these three. Morpheus: if he in human shape appear. Morpheus come forth in perfect likeness here, Of, how call ye the Gentlewoman? Eurymine. Of Eurymine: and show this Gentleman, What of his mistress is become. My dear Ascanio, in this vision see, Eurymine doth thus appear to thee: As soon as sleep hath left thy drowsy eyes, Follow the path that on thy right hand lies, An aged Hermit thou by chance shalt find, That there hath been, time almost out of mind: This holy man, this aged reverent Father, There in the woods, doth roots and simples gather: His wrinkled brow, tells strengths past long ago: His beard as white, as winters driven snow. He shall discourse the troubles I have passed, And bring us both together at the last. Thus she presents her shadow to thy sight, That would her person gladly if she might. See how he catches to embrace the shade. This vision fully doth his powers invade. And when the heat shall but a little slake: Thou then shalt see him presently awake. Hast thou aught else, that I may stand in stead? No Somnus, no: go back unto thy bed: Iuno she shall reward thee for thy pain. Then good night Iris, I'll to rest again. Morpheus' farewell: to Iuno I will fly. And I to sleep, as fast as I can hie. Eurymine: Ah my good Angel stay: O vanish not so suddenly away. O stay my Gods, whither dost thou fly? Return my sweet Eurymine, 'tis I. Where art thou speak? Let me behold thy face: Did I not see thee in this very place Even now? Here did I not see thee stand? And here thy feet did bless the happy land? Eurymine: Oh wilt thou not attend? Fly from thy foe: Ascanio is thy friend. The fearful Hare, so shuns the labouring hound, And so the Dear eschews the Hunt's man wound. The trembling Foul, so flies the falcon's gripe: The Bondman, so, his angry masters stripe. I follow not, as Phoebus Daphne did: Nor as the Dog pursues the trembling Kid. Thy shape it was: alas I saw not thee: That sight were fitter for the Gods then me. But if in dreams, there any truth be found, Thou art within the compass of this ground. I'll range the woods, and all the groves about, And never rest, until I find thee out.

From mightie Iuno, Ioues immortall wife, Somnus I come: to charge thee on thy life, That thou vnto this Gentleman appeere, And in this place, thus as he lyeth heere, Preſent his miſtres to his inward eies, In as true manner, as thou canſt deuiſe. I would thou wert hangd for waking me. Three ſonnes I haue, the eldeſt Morpheus hight: He ſhewes of man, the ſhape or ſight. The ſecond Icelor, whoſe beheaſts Doth ſhewe the formes of birds and beaſts. Phantaſor for the third, things lifeles hee: Chuſe which like thee of theſe three. Morpheus: if he in humane ſhape appeare. Morpheus come forth in perfect likenes heere, Of, how call ye the Gentlewoman? Eurymine. Of Eurymine: and ſhewe this Gentleman, What of his miſtres is become. My deare Aſcanio, in this viſion ſee, Eurymine doth thus appeare to thee: As ſoone as ſleepe hath left thy drowſie eies, Follow the path that on thy right hand lies, An aged Hermit thou by chaunce ſhalt find, That there hath bene, time almoſt out of mind: This holy man, this aged reuerent Father, There in the woods, doth rootes and ſimples gather: His wrinckled browe, tells ſtrengths paſt long ago: His beard as white, as winters driuen ſnow. He ſhall diſcourſe the troubles I haue paſt, And bring vs both togither at the laſt. Thus ſhe preſents her ſhadow to thy ſight, That would her perſon gladly if ſhe might. See how he catches to imbrace the ſhade. This viſion fully doth his powers inuade. And when the heate ſhall but a litle ſlake: Thou then ſhalt ſee him preſently awake. Haſt thou ought elſe, that I may ſtand in ſted? No Somnus, no: go back vnto thy bed: Iuno ſhe ſhall reward thee for thy paine. Then good night Iris, Ile to reſt againe. Morpheus farwell: to Iuno I will flie. And I to ſleepe, as faſt as I can hie. Eurymine: Ah my good Angell ſtay: O vaniſh not ſo ſuddenly away. O ſtay my Goddes, whither doeſt thou flie? Returne my ſweet Eurymine, tis I. Where art thou ſpeake? Let me behold thy face: Did I not ſee thee in this very place Euen now? Here did I not ſee thee ſtand? And here thy feete did bleſſe the happie land? Eurymine: Oh wilt thou not attend? Flie from thy foe: Aſcanio is thy friend. The fearfull Hare, ſo ſhuns the labouring hound, And ſo the Dear eſchues the Hunts man wound. The trembling Foule, ſo flies the Falcons gripe: The Bond-man, ſo, his angry maiſters ſtripe. I follow not, as Phoebus Daphne did: Nor as the Dog purſues the trembling Kid. Thy ſhape it was: alas I ſawe not thee: That ſight were fitter for the Gods then mee. But if in dreames, there any truth be found, Thou art within the compas of this ground. Ile raunge the woods, and all the groues about, And neuer reſt, vntill I find thee out.
