8 from The Works of Christopher Marlowe

1. Christopher Marlowe, Dido, Queen of Carthage act 4, scene 2, line 4
   Iarbus Eternall Jove, great master of the Clowdes,
   Father of gladnesse, and all frollicke thoughts,
   That with thy gloomie hand corrects the heaven,
   When ayrie creatures warre amongst themselves:
   Heare, heare, O heare Iarbus plaining prayers,
   Whose hideous ecchoes make the welkin howle,
   And all the woods Eliza to resound:
   The woman that thou wild us entertaine,
   Where straying in our borders up and downe,
   She crav'd a hide of ground to build a towne,
   With whom we did devide both lawes and land,
   And all the fruites that plentie els sends forth,
   Scorning our loves and royall marriage rites,
   Yeelds up her beautie to a strangers bed,
   Who having wrought her shame, is straight way fled:
   Now if thou beest a pitying God of power,
   On whom ruth and compassion ever waites,
   Redresse these wrongs, and warne him to his ships
   That now afflicts me with his flattering eyes.

   If ever day were turnde to ugly night,
   And night made semblance of the hue of hell,
   This day, this houre, this fatall night,
   Shall fully shew the fury of them all.
