 * Tremble, Peleus, tremble, fly;

The Thunderer! the mighty Thunderer!
 * Tremble, Peleus, tremble, fly.
 * [ being descended:]
 * Jup. Presumptuous Slave, Rival to Jove,
 * How dar'st thou, Mortal, thus defie
 * A Goddess with audacious Love,
 * And irritate a God with Jealousie?
 * Presumptuous Mortal, hence
 * Tremble at Omnipotence.
 * Pel. Arm'd with Love, and Thetis by,
 * I fear no Odds
 * Of Men or Gods,
 * But Jove himself defie.
 * Jove, lay thy Thunder down;
 * Arm'd with Love, and Thetis by,
 * There is more Terror in her Frown,
 * And fiercer Light'ning in her Eye:
 * I fear no Odds
 * Of Men or Gods,
 * But Jove himself defie.

Jup.
