Thetis much mou'd with those sad notes she heard,
Her freeing thence to Triton soone referr'd;
Who found the Caue as soone as set on shore,
And by his strength remouing from the doore
A weighty stone, brought forth the fearefull Maid,
Which kindly led where his faire Mistresse staid
Was entertain'd as well became her sort,
And with the rest steer'd on to Thetis Court,
For whose release from imminent decay
My Muse awhile will here keepe Holy-day.
