To som of Saturns crew. I must dissemble,  
And try her yet more strongly. Com, no more,

Against the canon laws of our foundation;  
I must not suffer this, yet 'tis but the lees  
And setlings of a melancholy blood;

Will bathe the drooping spirits in delight  
Beyond the bliss of dreams. Be wise, and taste.--

his hand, and break it against the ground; his rout make signe of  
resistance, but are all driven in; The attendant Spirit comes in.

O ye mistook, ye should have snatcht his wand  
And bound him fast; without his rod revers't,  
And backward mutters of dissevering power,  
We cannot free the Lady that sits here  
In stony fetters fixt, and motionless;  
Yet stay, be not disturb'd, now I bethink me

Which once of Meliboeus old I learnt  
820  
The soothest Shepherd that ere pip't on plains.  
There is a gentle Nymph not farr from hence,
