His fierie face in billowes of the west, And his faint Steedes watred in Ocean deepe, Whilst from their iournall labours they doe rest. Ed. Spencer.
—Loe the great Automedon of day, In Isis streame his golden locks doth steepe, Sad euen her dusky mantle doth display, Light flying fouls the posts of night doe sport them, And cheerefull looking Phoebe doth comfort them. D. Lodge.
By this the welked Phoebus gan auaile, His wearie waine and now the frostie night, Her mantle blacke through heauen gan ouerhaile, Ed. Spencer.
Such loue as Phoebus from the coloured skie, Did headlong driue his horses toward the west, To suffer horned Luna for ro prye, Amidst the dusky darke. D. Lodge.
When as the Sun hales towa••ds the westerne slade, And the tree shadowes three times greater made. M. Dr.
And now the Sunne was past his middleway, Leaning more louely to his lemmons bed, And the Moones third howre had attacht the day. I. Markham.
By this the sunne had spred his golden locks Vpon the pale greene carpet of the sea, And opened wide the scarlet doore which locks, The easefull euening from the labouring day, Now night beganne to leape from yron rocks.

And whippes her rustie waggon through the way. Idem.
The blushing sunne plucks in his smiling beames, ••aking his steedes to mend their woonted pace, Till plunging downe into the ocean streames, There in the froathie waues hee hides his face, Then raines them in more then his vsuall space, And leaues foule darknesse to possesse the skie, A time most fit for foulest tragedie. M.D.
Now the sunne is mounted vp on hie, And pawseth in the midst of all the skie, His fierie face vpon the earth doth beate, And bakes it with intollerable heate. I. Authoris.
