I think it had been better luck, if you had been robbed of those Commodities seven years ago. But see yonder comes my Scopas. THey are coming hard by. Here is the frankincense. Put it in yourself. This fire is almost out, stir it up. Laurel wood doth soon spend. Apollo's judgement seat Makes all things pure and neat. COme along, come on in rank. On afore, On afore▪ Hold up the book. Give room, room, more room. We must have room, more than the whole City of Rome. Clio, you must sit down, and you Euterpe. Musaeus craves your assistance. Po doe your office. Silentium: et Tacete. Our Lord Apollo by his deputed judge, the venerable Musaeus, doth command silence, and chargeth all, whom it may concern, to attend the Court, and hear the charge Our great Apollo's Palace seemeth like A spacious garden set with choicest flowers, Wherein creep up by small unlean degrees Unuseful, hurtful, and unsavoury weeds; Which overgrow and choke the better plants, And make the tender flowers to hang the head. Himself chief Gardener hath, from yonder top Of this our sacred hill, even now overviewed All that his herbage, and with curious eye Discerned and designed by his doom, What must be cherished, and what weeded out. Me, his unworthy servant, he appoints, As under-gardner, with that wholesome hook. To check, or nip, or toot up what he damned. To me by oracle he did unfold, What lot attends on every name enrolled. Praco, read the Record, and cite the names. Memorandum. On Apollo's Shrove-day, being the eight and twentieth of Aquarius, in the great hall of the western top of Parnassus. Our sovereign Lord Apollo sitting in person upon oyer and terminer, after full hearing of all parties, did then and there adjourn the Court, to be presently continued at the foot of the said he, under the Laurel, at the Temple gate, and to be there consummate by his reverend judge Musaeus. Nomina Reorum. The names of the parties sentenced by Apollo. Siren, the first is Siren. Appear Siren Spinster. She spins nothing but spider's webs, to catch flies. Siren come out What do you lurk? Appear in your likeness, and hear your doom. Vous havez Si●. I have a great deal more to say for myself, and for my Lady Hedone. I hope, I shall be heard. You would fain be heard; because you think your tongue enchants. There is no pleading now. Apollo's doom is past. You must hear the judge, or else be pressed to death presently. Siren, then thus for Siren. Record the sentence Praeco. My pen is as nimble as your tongue. Siren must first be searched. Sacred dispenser of Apollo's justice, I hope you will not suffer a poor Nymph to be used so immodestly. If I must be ransacked, I pray you let it be done by a jury of Muses. The three Graces, empaneled with them, will make up the whole number of twelve good women, and true.
