Sca-wilder'd crews the mountain-ſtars admire,

And Beauty beams amid terrific fire.

“< Thus when of old, as myſtic batds preſume, Huge CyYcLops dwelt in Etna's rocky womb, On thundering anvils rung their loud alarms, And leagued with VvLCcAX forged immortal arms; Deſcending VENUS ſought the dark abode, 161 And ſooth d the labours of the grifly God.-- While frowning Loves the threatening falchion

wield, And tittering Graces peep behind the ſhield, With jointed mail their fairy limbs o'erwhelm, Or nod with pauſing ſtep the plumed helm; With radiant eye She view'd the boiling ore, Heard undiſmay'd the breathing bellows roar, Admird their ſinewy arms, and ſhoulders bare, And ponderous hammers lifted high in air, 170 With[miles celeſtial bleſs'd their dazzled ſight,

And Beauty blazed amid infernal night.
