_Scene VII._ introduces the "one with a bucket," _i.e._, The Well. The first twelve lines of his speech are a literal and smoothly-versified translation of _Met._ iii. 407-412. In Ovid, however, this description of the well comes after the conversation between Echo and Narcissus, and the account proceeds at once (l. 413) with: "Hic puer, et studio venandi lassus et æstu, Procubuit." It is doubtful why the English writer should have preferred to introduce the Well thus early. With Ovid's lines may be compared those in the translation of the _Romaunt of the Rose_ attributed to Chaucer: "----Springyng in a marble stone, Had nature set the sothe to tel Under that pyne tree a wel. * * * * * Aboute it is grasse springyng For moyste so thycke and wel lykyng, That it ne may in wynter dye No more than may the see be drye. * * * * * For of the welle this is the syne, In worlde is none so clere of hewe, The water is euer fresshe and newe That welmeth vp with wawes bright." _Scene VIII._ consists of a dialogue between Dorastus and Echo. _Scene IX._ continues the same theme, Clinias being substituted for Dorastus. Both these scenes are interpolations, introduced evidently for the amusement of the audience rather than for any bearing on the main plot. _Scene X._ Here Narcissus delivers himself of a soliloquy, suggested by _Met._ iii. 479: "Forte puer, comitum seductus et agmine fido, Dixerat"-- He is answered by Echo, who wishes to proffer him her affection. The conversation, gathered from Ovid, runs as follows: "Ecquis adest? Adest. Veni! Veni! Quid me fugis? Quid me fugis? Huc Coëamus! Coeämus!" This, with various amplifications, is followed in ll. 602-630 of the _Narcissus_. Here, however, there is no reproduction of Ovid's account: "Et verbis favet ipsa suis, egressaque silvis Ibat, ut injiceret sperato brachia collo. Ille fugit, fugiensque manus complexibus aufert." which leads on to and explains the next speech of Narcissus: "'Ante' ait 'emoriar, quam sit tibi copia nostri.'" rendered in the English by: "Let mee dye first ere thou meddle with mee." This terminates the interview; Echo does not seem to make any appearance on the stage. The few lines which, in Ovid, describe the effect of her hopeless love, are partly followed in ll. 740-747 of the English play. _Scene XI._ Dorastus and Clinias abuse, fight with, and finally kill each other. _Scene XII._ Narcissus enters, _fleeing from Echo_ (a connecting touch not found in Ovid). His speech, on discovering the well, is a mixture of the description of his transports in the _Metamorphoses_, and of the soliloquy there attributed to him. ll. 697-707 of the _Narcissus_ correspond word for word to _Met._ iii. 442-450.
