For much more eath to tell the starres on hy, Albe they endlesse seeme in estimation, Then to recount the Seas posterity: So fertile be the flouds in generation, So huge their numbers, and so numberlesse their nation. Therefore the antique wisards well inuented, ii That _Venus_ of the fomy sea was bred; For that the seas by her are most augmented. Witnesse th’exceeding fry, which there are fed, And wondrous sholes, which may of none be red. Then blame me not, if I haue err’d in count Of Gods, of Nymphs, of riuers yet vnred: For though their numbers do much more surmount, Yet all those same were there, which erst I did recount. All those were there, and many other more, iii Whose names and nations were too long to tell, That _Proteus_ house they fild euen to the dore; Yet were they all in order, as befell, According their degrees disposed well. Amongst the rest, was faire _Cymodoce_, The mother of vnlucky _Marinell_, Who thither with her came, to learne and see The manner of the Gods when they at banquet be. But for he was halfe mortall, being bred iv Of mortall sire, though of immortall wombe, He might not with immortall food be fed, Ne with th’eternall Gods to bancket[226] come; But walkt abrode, and round about did rome, To view the building of that vncouth place, That seem’d vnlike vnto his earthly home: Where, as he to and fro by chaunce did trace, There vnto him betid a disauentrous[227] case.
