As scarcelie anie do against it stand:

No, not the Demy-gods the olde world knew,

Who all subdu’de, could Pleasures power subdue.

Great Hercules, Hercules once that was

Wonder of earth and heau’n, matchles in might,

Who Anteus, Lycus, Geryon ouercame,

Who drew from hell the triple-headed dogg,

Who Hydra kill’d, vanquishd Achelous,

Who heauens weight on his strong shoulders bare:

Did he not vnder Pleasures burthen bow?
