_Hesperus_ be long a shining,
Whilst these Lovers are a twining_.

_Eol_. Ho! _Neptune!_

_Nept_. _Eolus!_

_Eol_. The Seas go hie,
_Boreas_ hath rais'd a storm; go and applie
Thy trident, else I prophesie, ere day
Many a tall ship will be cast away:
Descend with all the Gods, and all their power to
strike a cal[m].

_Cin_. A thanks to every one, and to gratulate
So great a service done at my desire,
Ye shall have many floods fuller and higher
Than you have wisht for; no Ebb shall dare
To let the day see where your dwellings are:
Now back unto your Government in haste,
Lest your proud charge should swell above the waste,
And win upon the Island.

_Nep_. We obey.

[_Neptune descends, and the Sea-gods_.

_Cinth_. Hold up thy head dead night; seest thou not day?
The East begins to lighten, I must down
And give my brother place.
