Epig. 19. To Mr. James Ford, his Medalls being Miraculously preserved from fire.

Vulcan to save these Monuments
Suffocates his own flaming Vents,
The Elements themselves had sence,
(By a coactive Providence)
Their Father Ayre, and Mother Earth,
Bridled their fury in its birth,
As when they choak't Enceladus,
For Anapis, and Amphinomus,
For which (Sir) you ought every day
A Jocund Vulcanalia say.
