<l>Here the curtains draw, there is discovered</l>
<l>Jupiter dandling Ganymede upon his knee,</l>
<l>And mercury lying asleep.</l>
<l>Jup. come, gentle Ganymede, and play with me.</l>
<l>I love thee well, say juno what she will.</l>
<l>Gan. i am much better for your worthless love,</l>
<l>That will not shield me from her shrewish blows.</l>
<l>Today, whenas i filled into your cups</l>
<l>And held the cloth of pleasance while you drank,</l>
<l>She reached me such a rap for that i spilled,</l>
<l>As made the blood run down about mine ears.</l>
<l>Jup. what? dares she strike the darling of my thoughts?</l>
<l>By saturn's soul, and this earth threat'ning hair,</l> . . .
