The Nymph _Polia_ perceiuing well the change of my colour and blood comming in more stranger sort than _Tripolion_ or _Teucrion_, thrise a day changing the colour of his flowers, and my indeuoring to sende out scalding sighes deeply set from the bottome of my hart, she did temper and mitigate the same with hir sweete and friendly regards, pacifieng the rage of my oppressing passions, so as notwithstanding my burning minde in these continuall flames and sharpe prouocations of loue, I was aduised patiently to hope euen with the bird of Arabia in hir sweet nest of small sprigs, kindled by the heate of the sunne to be renewed.
Errors and anomalies noted by transcriber:
This e-text is based on a facsimile edition made from a single copy of the 1592 original. In some places, text is illegible or missing.
“The Italian version” refers to the 1499 text. At time of preparation, page images of this book were available at http://mitpress.mit.edu/e-books/HP/hyp000.htm and linked pages. Note that the 1592 English translation covers just under half the Italian text. The Italian was consulted in some cases of uncertain readings in the English. The sidenotes have no Italian equivalent.
Oddities of punctuation are as in the original, but missing full stops at paragraph-end have been supplied.
The text often prints æ in place of œ, especially when italicized: Phæbus; Cræsus (twice); Cæus The spellings _Pasiphæ_ (for Pasiphae or Pasiphaë) and _Androdus_ (for Androclus or Androcles) were also left unchanged.
