The noblest of the mountaines where they grew , straightest and tallest , vnder whose still shades , the worthier beasts haue made their layers , and slept free from the firuer of the Serian starre , and the fell thunder-stroke , free from the Clouds , when they were big with humour , and deliuer in thousand spouts , that issues to the earth : O there was none but silent quiet there , till neuer-pleased fortune shot vp shrubs base vnder branches , to deuour these branches , and for a while they did so , and did raigne ouer the Mountaine , and did choake vp his beauty with brakes , rud , thornes and thistles , till the Sunne scorcht them to the roote , and dride ore marriage beds , has knit their noble hearts , and heere they stand , your children , worthy king , and I haue done .
