Omphale in the absence of Hercules orders her +Nymphs to prepare for the Chace. This is succeeded by The Cave of Cacus. This famous Robber (a monster with three heads) who had desolated the adjacent country, hearing the sound of horns, lays in wait for his prey--the rival Princes are seen passing thro' the trees--Omphale and her train appear returning from the Chace--The Princes retire and plan to seize her-Cacus enters and forces her into the cave--the Princes with their Attendants attempt to seize Hercules, who for some time defends himself against their united force; nearly va quished he prays to Jupiter, when a Storm arises, thunder, lightning, hail, fire, and massey stones are seen to descend--Hercules gains the Mouth of the Cavern, and thus defends himself from the Storm and his Assailants--Screams are heard within the Cavern--the Prince of Dacia bearing off Omphale, the Prince of Mycoene forces her from him, and after slaying the Prince of Dacia, escapes with his conquest--the Tempest ceases--Hercules and Cacus come from the Cave, a Combat ensues, in which Hercules vanquishes the Robber--He then pursues the Prince of Mycoene, and is informed by Iolaus, that Omphale is shut up in the city of Mycoene--Catapultas, Battering Rams, are prepared, and the Scene changes to The Town and Fortifications of Mycoene. Hercules at the head of his Army summons it to surrender--the Prince brings Omphale on the Battlements bound in Chains-The Battering Ram and all the Implements of War are brought in Action against the City--the Besieged defend themselves by hurling huge stones on the heads of their Assailants--the Soldiers form the Tortoise back with their shields, by which Hercules mounts the walls--his Army enter the city with Firebrands--Hercules bears away the gates upon his shoulders--the City is seen in flames--Hercules pursues the Prince to the summit of a Mountain, seizes and dashes him into the Sea--he releases Omphale, and bears her off in triumph. Part II. A Magnificent Hall in Omphale's Palace. Hercules enters with Omphale, fatigued with the toils of Battle, she leaves him to repose--when asleep, Omphale returns, and kneeling to a Statue of Cupid, the Figure receives animation--She implores him to inspire the breast of Hercules with Love-Cupid changes the Club of Hercules for a Shepherd's Brook, his Arrows to Wreaths of Roses--Cupid calls on the Pleasures--their train surround the Sopha of Hercules, bearing Vases, Medallions, Baskets of Flowers, Wreaths of Roses--They form a groupe--when Cupid brings forth Omphale and places her by his side--He then waves his Bow and discovers The Garden of Love, in which Juno, attended by Mercury and Hymen, descend the Stage, and Clouds dispersing, discover The Temple of Juno.
