SCENE V.

Castor
Solus.
Right Woman!—resolute in ev'ry Whim,
And violent in all they undertake.—
With what a Torrent do their Passions drive!
A Gust will banish Reason from its Seat,
And fill the Mind with Anarchy and Uproar!
But I must follow still and weary out
By ceaseless Workings, this so boist'rous Rage;
As Clowns provoke the Wrath of raging Bulls,
That Fury may exhaust their native Strength,
And flagging Vigour tame them to the Yoke.
