SCENE VI.

Melampus and Madauces.
Melampus strikes the figure of Death, which sinks with the fire.
MELAMPUS.
Thus far successful, I will try the temper
Of this third portal. Dost thou see, Madauces,
Yon Cyclops, rolling his presumptuous orb,
Which glares defiance from his spacious front,
More lofty than the battlement? By Mars,
I will have entrance, monster!

[The gate, opening spontaneously, admits Melampus, and is immediately shut against Madauces.
