Whiles Scorpio dreading Sagittarius dart,
Whose bowe prest bent in fight, the string had slipt,
Down slide into the Ocean flud aparte,
The Beare, that in the Irish seas had dipt
His griesly feete, with speede from thence hee whipt:
For Thetis, hasting from the virgin’s bed,
Pursude the Beare, that, ere she came, was fled.
