llcides, (Force-fullest of all the Broode Of Men, enforc't with neede of earthie foode,) My Muse shal memorise; the son of Ioue; Whom, in faire-seated Thebs (commixt in loue With great Heauens sable-cloude-assembling state) Alcmena bore to him. And who (in date Of daies forepast) through all the Sea was sent And Earths inernarable Continent, To Acts, that King Eurystheus had decreede. Did many a Petulant, and Imperious Deede Himselfe; and therefore, suffer'd many a Toile. Yet now inhabites the illustrious Soile Of white Olympus; and Delights his life With still young Hebe; his well-anckled wife. Haile, King; and Sonne of Ioue; vouchsafe thou Me Virtue; and her Effect, Felicitie.
