But what at Sacred Juno's feetShall the Adoring Nymphs present?
Juno charming, chast and sweet,
The refuge of the Innocent:
The business of our pious Theames,
Our waking Bliss, our joy in Dreams;
The President of Vertuous Wives,
The bright example of the fair,
Whence Virgins learn their modest lives,
And Saints their pure Devotion there;
And all the Goddesses of less degree
Take a peculiar Majesty.
The humble softness of a mortal mind,
(Where all the Graces are confin'd)
With every Grandure of a Deity!
The noblest Songs from You their Beauties take,
Divinely you restore our fainting skill,
Inspire the chast and flowing quill,
Teach Poets how to sing! and Angels how to speak!
Oh what to Juno shall we pay
On this Her solemn Holy day!
