The Argvment.

Minerua in a vision stands
Before Nausicas; and commands
She to the flood her weeds should beare,
For now her Nuptiall day was neare.
Nausicas her charge obayes;
And then with other virgins playes.
Their sports make wak't Vlysses rise;
Walke to them, and beseech supplies
Of food and clothes. His naked sight
Puts th' other Maids, afraid, to flight.
Nausicas onely boldly stayes,
And gladly his desire obayes.
He (furnisht with her fauours showne)
Attends her, and the rest, to Towne.
