The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Dido


Act: 3 Scene: 3
Aeneas, thinke not but I honor thee,
That thus in person goe with thee to hunt:
My princely robes thou seest are layd aside,
Whose glittering pompe Dianas shrowdes supplies,
All fellowes now, disposde alike to sporte,
The woods are wide, and we have store of game:
Faire Troian, hold my golden bowe awhile,
Untill I gird my quiver to my side:
Lords goe before, we two must talke alone.
What makes Iarbus here of all the rest?
We could have gone without your companie.
How now Getulian, are ye growne so brave,
To challenge us with your comparisons?
Pesant, goe seeke companions like thy selfe,
And meddle not with any that I love:
Aeneas, be not movde at what he sayes,
For otherwhile he will be out of joynt.
Huntsmen, why pitch you not your toyles apace,
And rowse the light foote Deere from forth their laire?
Yea little sonne, are you so forward now?
What, darest thou looke a Lyon in the face?
Aeneas, leave these dumpes and lets away,
Some to the mountaines, some unto the soyle,
You to the vallies, thou unto the house.
