Iuno Monologue from The Tragedy of Dido Queene of Carthage

From The Tragedy of Dido Queene of Carthage by Christopher Marlowe

Here lyes my hate, Æneas cursed brat, The boy wherein false destinie delights, The heire of furie, the fauorite of the face, That vgly impe that shall outweare my wrath, And wrong my deitie with high disgrace: But I will take another order now, And race th'eternall Register of time: Troy shall no more call him her second hope, Nor Venus triumph in his tender youth: For here in spight of heauen Ile murder him, And feede infection with his left out life: Say Paris, now shall Venus haue the ball? Say vengeance, now shall her Ascanius dye. O no God wot, I cannot watch my time, Nor quit good turnes with double fee downe told: Tut, I am simple without made to hurt, And haue no gall at all to grieue my foes: But lustfull Ioue and his adulterous child, Shall finde it written on confusions front, That onely Iuno rules in Rhamnuse towne.
