The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Dido


Act: 4 Scene: 1
I thinke some fell Inchantresse dwelleth here,
That can call them forth when as she please,
And dive into blacke tempests treasurie,
When as she meanes to maske the world with clowdes.
In all this coyle, where have ye left the Queene?
Come forth the Cave: can heaven endure this sight?
Iarbus, curse that unrevenging Jove,
Whose flintie darts slept in Tipheus den,
Whiles these adulterors surfetted with sinne:
Nature , why mad'st me not some poysonous beast,
That with the sharpnes of my edged sting,
I might have stakte them both unto the earth,
Whil'st they were sporting in this darksome Cave?
Not with Aeneas in the ugly Cave.
