Loe there a desert city olde they fand,
And eke a temple (if reporte bee true)
Where in Dianas temple olde, the crew[165]
To[166] sacrifice their captaine counsaile gaue
For good successe, a seate and soyle to craue.[167]
26.
And he no whit misliking their aduice
Went forth, and did before the altar hold
In his right hand a cup to sacrifice,
And fild with[168] wine, and white hinds bloud scarce cold.
