And through the Skies see her wing’d Perseus strike

Though for his bulk, more that sea-monster like.

Mean time the Nurse, who as the most discreet,

Stood governing the motions at the feet,

And ballanc’d his descent, lest that amisse

He fell too fast, or that way more than this;

Steeres the Prow of the pensile Gallease,

Right on Loves Harbour the Nymph lets him pass

Over the Chains, & ’tween the double Fort

Of her incastled knees, which guard the Port.
