SCENE IV.

JUPITER
alone.
Now, gentle Night,
Who long for me hast tarried, I dismiss thee;
Yield thee to Day, that he at length may break
On mortals with a clear unclouded light:
And in proportion, Night, as thou wast lengthen'd
Beyond thy next career, by so much Day
Shall shorten his, that the disparity
Betwixt you may be squar'd, and Day to Night
Duly succeed.—I'll go, and follow Mercury.
[Exit Jupiter.
