By scaly Tritons winding shell,  
And old sooth-saying Glaucus spell,  
By Leucothea's lovely hands,  
And her son that rules the strands,  
By Thetis tinsel-slipper'd feet,  
And the Songs of Sirens sweet,  
By dead Parthenope's dear tomb,  
And fair Ligea's golden comb,  
Wherwith she sits on diamond rocks  
Sleeking her soft alluring locks,  
By all the Nymphs that nightly dance  
Upon thy streams with wily glance,  
Rise, rise, and heave thy rosie head  
From thy coral-pav'n bed,

And bridle in thy headlong wave,  
Till thou our summons answered have.  
Listen and save.  
Sabrina rises, attended by water-Nymphes, and sings.  
Sab: By the rushy-fringed bank,  
Where grows the Willow and the Osier dank,  
My sliding Chariot stayes,  
890  
Thick set with Agat, and the azurn sheen  
Of Turkis blew, and Emrauld green  
That in the channell strayes,
