THE FIRST ACT AND FIRST SCENE.
Gorlois.[252]
Since thus through channels black of Limbo lake,
And deep infernal flood of Stygian pool,
The ghastly Charon’s boat transported back
Thy ghost from Pluto’s pits and glooming shade
To former light, once lost by dest’ny’s doom,
Where proud Pendragon, broil’d with shameful lust,
Despoil’d thee erst of wife, of land and life,
Now, Gorlois, work thy wish, cast here thy gall:
