Redoubting thee. Then willing to besiege

The great Phraate head of Media,

Thou campedst at her walles with vaine assault,

Thy engins fit (mishap!) not thither brought.

So long thou stai’st, so long thou doost thee rest,

So long thy loue with such things nourished

Reframes, reformes it selfe and stealingly

Retakes his force and rebecomes more great.

For of thy Queene the lookes, the grace, the woords,

Sweetenes, alurements, amorous delights,
