Fowrth Entry

Pontus
enters att ye same dore after A Tryton & Iossells Fretum in his retreat, speakes
Brother I broke not this pruention
Our father sent for me as well as yow
And had not Helespont where Hero droun'd
Detain'd mee to shed teares uppon his Tombe
And my Arch Enemye Calld Pelagus
(ffamous for yeilding to the Gretians Graues
When Ilium's fate for Vengeance did pursue them)
Layde Iland Rubbs to make me stumble att
I had o're taine you

Fretum:
—Brother Lett noe storme
Kindle 'twixt us Boyle upp our fathers wrath
I left my Rodes to tell yow I was gone
And durst not stay for A Companion

Ocean:
discovers the discord
Is there A Tempest raisd betweene the Bayes
And I sat here becalm'd awake yea windes
And Scourge them for this ffolly. Tryton see
Why Pontus Comes soe Slowly upp to mee

Triton goes to them & after a Sylent passage of pacificacion.
Comes in Maiesty up & speakes
Pontus
Sr your Commannds, the Euxine shore Lyes drye
Till my returne againe to Trypoly.

Ocean:
—Loue to my Ofspringe might asswage mine Ire
Kindled by your rough entrance and Soe fire
Seeme to quench water but my Summons here
'Tis for your rough behauiour euery where
Belike you thinke sithence Iason by your way
Procur'd the Golden ffleece in Colchos Lay
All Sea's but Siluer, Copper, Brasse or Mudd
And you alone the Orient Goulden floud
Be not mistaken for if you looke Backe
You are not onely Great but Calld the Blacke
Nor to exceed your Bounds, the Couenant's sett
You are to Swallow none but Mahomett

Pontus
—Call mee what name you please, my power Confine
To your Sole will, 't must answere my designe
