Of heauens far darter, the faire King of daies.
Whom euen the Gods themselues feare, when he goes
Through Ioues high house; and when his goodly bowes
He goes to bend; all from their Thrones arise,
And cluster neare, t'admire his faculties.
Onely Latona, stirs not from her seate
Close by the Thunderer; till her sonnes retreat
From his dread archerie; but then she goes;
Slackens his string; and shuts his Quiuer close;
And (hauing taken to her hand, his bowe,
From off his able shoulders) doth bestowe
Upon a Pinne of gold the glorious Tiller;
The Pinne of gold fixt in his Fathers Piller.
Then doth she to his Throne, his state vphold;
Where his great Father, in a cup of gold
Serues him with Nectar; and shews all, the grace
Of his great sonne. Then th'other gods take place.
