THE V« SONG
Hen as f he Greeks did enttrpriTejTo Troyes town in armes to go,
shey choofed a counfcl fagcand wife: Apollosanfwetfortoknow,
How they fhould ipeed and have fuccels , In that fo great a bufincfs.
Then did they fend the wired Grcekj,
AppoUo; aoJwcr for to know,
Who with the tears upon their cbeeksj
But and ibc fiery flames of wood,
With sll fuch rites as was the guife.
They did thtir great God iacrifice.
When they had done thus thrir requeft,
And folemiiiy their fcrvice done,
And drank the wine, and flew the beaft,

That Troy and Troyanshave theyfhould.
To ufe them fully as t!icy would-
Which anfwer made them not fo gladi
That they fliould ihuy victorious be,
Asrven the anfwer which I bad,
D'd alfo joy and comJort me.
For thus tiieii faid Appolio mine,
