Spider and the Webs

Tritonia1 to the Muse attention lends:

Who both her Verse, and iust revenge commends.  Then said t' her selfe: To praise is of no worth:

Let our revengefull Powre our praise set forth.

Intends Arachnes ruine. She, she heard,

Before her curious webs, her owne preferr'd.

Nor dwelling, nor her nation fame impart

Vnto the Damsell, but excelling Art.
