The Argvment.

He shewes from Hell his safe retreate,
To th' Ile Ææa, Circes seate.
And how he scapt the Sirens calls.
With th' erring Rockes, and waters falls,
That Scylla and Charybdis breake.
The Sunnes stolne Herds; and his sad wreake,
Both of Vlysses ship and men,
His owne head scaping scarce the paine.
