SCENE I.
Enter Ate as before, after a little Lightning and Thundering, let
there come forth this show. Perseus and Andromeda, hand
in hand, and Cepheus also with Swords and Targets. Then let
there come out of another Door Phineus, all black in Armour,
with Æthiopians after him, driving in Perseus, and having
taken away Andromeda, let them depart. Ate remaining, says,
Regit omnis numen.
When Perseus married fair Andromeda,
The only Daughter of King Cepheus,
He thought he had establish'd well his Crown,
And that his Kingdom should for aye endure.
But lo proud Phineus with a Band of Men,
Contriv'd of Sun-burnt Æthiopians,
By force of Arms the Bride he took from him,
And turn'd their joy into a flood of tears.
So fares it with young Locrine and his Love,
He thinks this marriage tendeth to his weal,
But this foul day, this foul accursed day,
Is the beginning of his miseries.
Behold where Humber and his Scythians
Approacheth nigh with all his Warlike Train,
I need not I, the sequel shall declare,
What tragick chances fell out in this War.
