SCENE VII.
The Sea Shore and the Cave of
Proteus.
Proteus enters in the likeness of Mentor, follow'd by Telemachus.
Tel.
Gods! can it be?
Does Mentor then approve my Passion?
How shall I speak
My grateful Soul, and my o'erflowing Joy?
Yet—Whither dost thou lead me?
Proteus enters the Cave, and returns immediately in his own Shape.
Prot.
Behold that Mentor now!
Proteus, thy Rival!
Tel.
Assist me mighty Jove.
Prot.
In Mentor's Shape I had no Pow'r to harm thee;
But now thy Life is mine.
[Telemachus drawing his Sword is seiz'd by Proteus. Mentor enters, and Proteus loosing his hold, runs into the Cave, and sinks with it into the Sea.]
