Trasullus is a great Astrologer In th' Mathematicks skilful to perfection For his profounder knowledge the Chaldeans Submit all to him Caral Therefore I have reason More strictly to observe th' advice he gave me And wait for the Accomplishment of the Fortune Which he foretold me Ovid. But fair Caralinda I would not have you either be too scrupulous Or negligent The skill which they pretend to Hath but foundation upon Probabilities The glorious Planets may incline but force not We have a Liberty within our selves Our wills are free not slaves unto the Stars Caral Though I believe you I am so superstitious I shall expect the Accomplishment of his Prophesy Further Discourse of it I shall forbear now And choose a worthier subject for our talk Tell me dear OVID therefore how th●… Fair Bride's Fairer sister doth enjoy her health I left her when I went to Travail like Illustrious Phoebus rising in the Spring Without a Cloud about his Temples promising A bright day to the world I left her in Her early youth but with so growing a Beauty That surely now 't is able to work wonders Ovid.

Ah! Caralinda I am grown too old To be a Flatterer Enter Armelina Here she comes and I Appeal to your own eyes to be my witness You grace me Armelina by this visit You seem a Deity And bring a Comfort To any Place you honor with your Presence Armelina Duty obliges me to wait upon A Person so Renowned as is Ovid One banish'd from his Friends and Native Country And in his Age confin'd to our poor City Ovid.
