The Argvment.

A Second Court, on Ioue attends;
Who, Hermes to Calypso sends;
Commanding her to cleare the wayes
Vlysses sought; and she obayes.
When Neptune saw Vlysses free,
And, so in safetie, plow the sea;
Enrag'd, he ruffles vp the waues,
And splits his ship. Leucothea saues
His person yet; as being a Dame,
Whose Godhead gouernd in the frame
Of those seas tempers. But the meane
By which she curbs dread Neptunes splene,
Is made a Iewell; which she takes
From off her head; and that she makes
Vlysses on his bosome weare,
About his necke, she ties it there:
And when he is with waues beset,
Bids weare it as an Amulet;
Commanding him, that not before
He toucht vpon Phæacias shore,
He should not part with it; but then
Returne it to the sea agein,
And cast it from him. He performes;
Yet after this, bides bitter stormes;
And in the rockes, sees Death engrau'd;
But on Phæacias shore is sau'd.
