Sagastes would haue the dittie make mention of this last point, bicause as Marthea gaue him to vnderstand no lesse, so he beleeued not any thing to the con∣trarie. This song being ended, he began to doe that he promised, which was to praise God Cupid and Fortune, with so great delight of the hearers, as the end of the first had taken it away from them. But their beginning (as it was told me) was not without the vnpleasant iarring of their discording instruments. I beleeue it well (said Lord Felix) that this discord was not any whit pleasant to them there when the recitall thereof heere is displeasant to mine eares: and therefore I pray thee, without any more circumstances, tell vs what was sung besides, for I doe greatly desire to heare how he praised Fortune, an apter subiect of blame, then fit to be prai∣sed. If it be your pleasures (said Placindus) giue eare to my words, and note the mea∣ning of it, for this is the song.
