Great Neptune stood amazed at their sight,
2 Whiles on his broad round backe they softly slid
And eke himselfe mournd at their mournfull plight,
4 Yet wist not what their wailing ment, yet did
For great compassion of their sorrow, bid
6 His mightie waters to them buxome bee:
Eftsoones the roaring billowes still abid,
8 And all the griesly Monsters of the See
Stood gaping at their gate, and wondred them to see.
