The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Dido


Act: 1 Scene: 2
Why, what are you, or wherefore doe you sewe?
But tell me Troians, Troians if you be,
Unto what fruitfull quarters were ye bound,
Before that Boreas buckled with your sailes?
Brave men at armes, abandon fruitles feares,
Since Carthage knowes to entertaine distresse.
My selfe will see they shall not trouble ye,
Your men and you shall banquet in our Court,
And every Troian be as welcome here,
As Jupiter to sillie Baucis house:
Come in with me, Ile bring you to my Queene,
Who shall confirme my words with further deedes.
