Dido:
O Anna, runne unto the water side,
They say Æneas men are going abourd,
It may be he will steale away with them:
They say Æneas men are going abourd,
It may be he will steale away with them:
Stay not to answere me, runne Anna runne. [Exit Anna.]
O foolish Troians that would steale from hence,
And not let Dido understand their drift:
I would have given Achates store of gold,
And Illioneus gum and Libian spice,
And Illioneus gum and Libian spice,
The common souldiers rich imbrodered coates,
And silver whistles to controule the windes,
Which Circes sent Sicheus when he lived:
Unworthie are they of a Queenes reward:
See where they come, how might I doe to chide?
Which Circes sent Sicheus when he lived:
Unworthie are they of a Queenes reward:
See where they come, how might I doe to chide?
