On th’other side an high rocke toured still,
That twixt them both a pleasaunt[839] port they made,
And did like an halfe Theatre fulfill:
There those fine sisters had continuall trade,
And vsd to bath[840] themselues in that deceiptfull[841] shade.
They were faire Ladies, till they fondly striu’d xxxi
With th’Heliconian maides for maistery;
Of whom they ouer-comen, were depriu’d
Of their proud beautie, and th’one moyity
Transform’d to fish, for their bold surquedry,
