And to th'intent the earth alone thus should not be opprest, And heaven above in slouthfull ease and carelesse quiet rest, Men say that Giantes went about the Realme of Heaven to win To place themselves to raigne as Gods and lawlesse Lordes therein. And hill on hill they heaped up aloft into the skie, Till God almighty from the Heaven did let his thunder flie, The dint whereof the ayrie tops of high Olympus brake, And pressed Pelion violently from under Ossa strake. When whelmed in their wicked worke those cursed Caitives lay, The Earth their mother tooke their bloud yet warme and (as they say) Did give it life. And for bicause some ympes should still remaine Of that same stocke, she gave it shape and limmes of men againe.

The learned virgins daily haunt, the sacred Helicon, And Thracian Hemus (not as yet surnamde Oeagrion,) Did smoke both twaine: and Aetna hote of nature aye before, Encreast by force of Phebus flame now raged ten times more.

Such herbes of them as liked hir she pullde up roote and rinde Or cropt them with a hooked knife. And many she did finde Upon the bankes of Apidane agreeing to hir minde: And many at Amphrisus foords: and thou Enipeus eke Didst yeelde hir many pretie weedes of which she well did like. Peneus and Sperchius streames contributarie were, And so were Boebes rushie bankes of such as growed there. About Anthedon which against the Ile Euboea standes, A c
