The Clouds divide, and Juno appears in a Machine drawn by
Peacocks; while a Symphony is playing, it moves gently forward,
and as it descends, it opens and discovers the Tail of the
Peacock, which is so Large, that it almost fills the opening of
the Stage between Scene and Scene.
Merc.
The Clouds divide, what Wonders,
What Wonders do I see!
The Wife of Jove, 'Tis shee,
That Thunders, More than thundring Hee!
Juno.
No, Hermes, No;
'Tis Peace above
As 'tis below:
For Jove has left his wandring Love.
Tham.
Great Queen of gathering Clouds;
Whose Moisture fills our Floods,
See; we fall before Thee,
Prostrate wee adore Thee!
Aug.
Great Queen of Nuptial Rites,
Whose pow'r the Souls Unites,
And fills the Genial Bed with chast Delights,
See; we fall before Thee
Prostrate we adore Thee!
Juno.
'Tis ratifi'd above by every God,
And Jove has firm'd it with an Awfull Nod;
That Albion shall his love renew:
But oh, ungrateful Fair,
Repeated Crimes beware,
And to his Bed be true!
