When Chore doth call her on, that wholly doth betake

Herself unto the Loo; transform’d into a lake,

Through that impatient love she had to entertain

The lustful Neptune oft; whom when his wracks restrain,

Impatient of the wrong, impetuously he raves:

And in his rageful flow, the furious King of waves

Breaks foaming o’er the beach, whom nothing seems to cool,

Till he have wrought his will on that capacious pool:

Where Menedge, by his brooks, a[61] chersonese is cast,

Widening the slender shore to ease it in the waste;
