Anchyses sonne begot of Venus faire,
2 (Said he,) out of the flames for safegard fled,
And with a remnant did to sea repaire,
4 Where he through fatall errour long was led
Full many yeares, and weetlesse wandered
6 From shore to shore, emongst the Lybicke sands,
Ere rest he found. Much there he suffered,
8 And many perils past in forreine lands,
To saue his people sad from victours vengefull hands.
