Yet still of ancient Fraud there shall remain
Some Signs, and bold and greedy Men for Gain
Shall tempt the Billows of the raging Main.
Cities shall be with Walls begirt around,
And the sharp Plough in Furrows tear the Ground.
Another vent'rous T[iphy]s shall appear,
An Argo its elected Heroes bear,
New Wars and Sieges shall Mankind annoy,
And great Achilles shall again to Troy.
