SCENE V.

Calypso, Mentor.
Cal.
Mentor alone! [Aside]
—Illustrious Greek,
Where is Telemachus?

Ment.
Does not Calypso know?
The Forrest now is all his Pleasure.
With Ardour yet unknown
His youthful Breast is fir'd;
Fair Eucharis—but sure by thy Command,
Invites him to the Chase.

Cal.
Invites him, when?

Ment.
Ev'n now.

Cal.
Didst thou say Eucharis?

Ment.
Bright Eucharis,
Thy loveliest Nymph, and, next thy self, divine.

Cal.
aside.]
It cannot be—with Eucharis!
And I unknowing?—
O! 'tis too plain—Haste, haste to Proteus,
Say, I must see him here.

[To one of her Attendants.
To Ment.]
But have you left your Friend?
Will you not follow him?
Or why, to share these Silvan Sports,
Why is not Mentor there?

Ment.
Exit Mentor.
