_Cydippe_ took up the Apple and read the Lines; by repeating which words they became her own; and she was ignorantly betrothed to her Lover: For it was a Law, that whatever any persons said in _Diana_"s Temple, they were obliged to perform.]
[Footnote 46: _Ariadne_ was the Daughter of _Minos_ King of _Crete_.
She fell in Love with _Theseus_, and with a Clew of Thread helped him out of the Labyrinth into which he went to kill the _Minotaur_. He afterwards basely deserted the poor Lady, of which our Poet will presently tell the Story.]
[Footnote 47: _Silenus_ was the Pedagogue of _Bacchus_, and his Foster-Father: He was likewise his Companion on all Occasions; and is often introduced in his drunken Mood by our Poet.]
[Footnote 48: At this Wedding _Eurytion_ the _Centaur_ getting drunk, attempted to ravish _Hippodamia_ the Bride of _Pyrithous_, but _Theseus_ knocked his Brains out with a Bowl. Upon this a Battle ensued between the _Centaurs_ and the _Lapithae_, who defending the Cause of their Prince _Pyrithous_, destroyed almost all the _Centaurs_. _Horace_ Lib. I. Ode 18. mentions this Story likewise, as a Caution to Men not to be quarrelsome in their Cups.]
[Footnote 49: Here and in many other Places, we have been obliged to supply that Connection, which is greatly wanting in the Original.]
[Footnote 50: _Phoebe_ and _Ilaira_ were two pretty Girls, the Daughters of _Leucippus_, and by their Father betrothed to two Brothers _Idas_ and _Lynceus_; but before the Celebration of their Nuptials, were ravished by _Castor_ and _Pollux_. This ended in the Death of _Castor_, by the Hands of _Lynceus_; and of _Lynceus_, by _Pollux_, whose Death while _Idas_ was attempting to revenge, he was struck dead by Thunder at the Feet of _Pollux_.]
[Footnote 51: _Orion_ the _Theban_ was in Love with _Merope_ the Daughter of _AEnopian_; but who this _Lyrice_ was, is not so plain, no Mention being made of her in any other Place.]
[Footnote 52: _Daphnis_ was the Son of _Mercury_; for his Love for this _Nas_, we have here _Ovid_"s Authority.]
