With Gemms and Golden lustre rich imblazd,

So Jove usurping reignd: these first in Creet

Semblance of worth, not substance, gently raisd

Obscure some glimps of joy, to have found thir chief

In Gibeah, when the hospitable door

These were the prime in order and in might;

And ore the Celtic roamd the utmost 九_九_藏_書Isles.

Witness the Streets of Sodom, and that night

By younger Saturn, he from mightier Jove

Down cast and damp, yet such wherein appeard

His own and Rheas Son like measure found;

With his enormous brood, and birthright seisd

Not in despair, to have found themselves not lost [ 525 ]

At which the universal Host upsent

Of Trumpets loud and Clarions be upreard

Exposd a Matron to avoid worse rape. [ 505 ]

Soon recollecting, with high words, that bore

Shon like a Meteor streaming to the Wind

Of cold Olympus ruld th九*九*藏*書e middle Air

In loss it self; which on his countnance cast

Thir fainting courage, and dispeld thir fears. [ 530 ]

Seraphic arms and Trophies: all the while

All these and more came flocking; but with looks

Fled over Adria to th Hesperian Fields, [ 520 ]

Th Imp九九藏書erial Ensign, which full high advanct

Or in Dodona, and through all the bounds

Like doubtful hue: but he his wonted pride

Then strait commands that at the warlike sound

Thir boasted Parentread.99csw.coms; Titan Heavns first born [ 510 ]

And Ida known, thence on the Snowy top [ 515 ]

A shout that tore Hells Concave, and beyond

Who forthwith from the glittering Staff unfurld [ 535 ]

The rest were long to tell, though far renownd,

Sonorous mettal blowing Martial sounds: [ 540 ]

Frighted the Reign of Chaos and old Night.
