Fos. 49-54—Three of the daughters of the Rhine tell of Amalina, daughter of Venus and Vulcan's helper.  She is loved by Neptune.  He allows her to taste the pleasures of both sexes.  Neptune later loves the nymph, Thames.  He takes her to his palace—(digression in which the palace is described, fos. 50 verso ff.)—where she submits to Amalina, the man-maid.  The latter is consigned to hell; the former becomes the river Thames, later wooed by a giant, Pons, who rapes her.  He is turned to London Bridge.  (Digression on the Thames, fol. 54.)
