EPIGRAM CXVII.
[Full up the solar blaze of light]
SPLENDEAT USU.
Full up the solar blaze of light,
Th' imperial Eagle wings his flight;
240
Life, beauty, and increase below,
Wait patient the descending glow;
He meets it in its way:—
And on the very Source, whence lustre flows,
Tries the bold Eye, whose lustre it bestows.
