SCENE I.
Enter Ate as before. Then Omphale Daughter to the King of
Lydia, having a Club in her Hand, and a Lion's skin on her
Back, Hercules following with a Distaff. Then Omphale
turns about, and taking off her Pantofle, strikes Hercules on
the Head, then they depart. Ate remaining, says;
Quem non Argolici mandata severa Tyranni,
Non potuit Juno vincere, vicit amor.
Stout Hercules, the mirror of the World,
Son to Alcmena and great Jupiter,
After so many Conquests won in Field,
After so many Monsters quell'd by force,
Yielded his valiant Heart to Omphale,
A fearful Woman void of manly strength,
She took the Club, and wore the Lion's Skin.
He took the Wheel, and maidenly gan spin.
-- 3303 --
So Martial Locrine cheer'd with Victory,
Falleth in love with Humber's Concubine,
And so forgetteth peerless Guendeline.
His Uncle Corineius storms at this,
And forceth Locrine for his Grace to sue,
Lo here the Sum, the Process doth ensue.
[Exit.
