SCENE V.

A Noise of fighting from within.
Min.
Hark, just as I inspir'd the Fight's begun:
Now for Ulysses, and his hopeful Son.
SONG II.

1

Thus having slid from th'azure Sky
To see what on Earth is doing,
By Jove I'll make these Varlets fly,
And quickly spoil their wooing.

2

A Cuckold's a Name for a Fool or a Cit,
But sure the Goddess of Wisdom
Will never let Ulysses be bit,
Nor suffer such Shame for his Doom.
