Southward disorder'd figures struck my eyes,
Monkies and Serpents rais'd to deities;
Mad superstitious Ægypt these rever'd
And to the hideous tribe their pray'rs prefer'd.
Maim'd Memnon here seem'd on his harp to play,
And hail Osiris bringing on the day.
Pale Isis crescent faintly glimmer'd here,
And barking Anubis display'd the year.
Monkies and Serpents rais'd to deities;
Mad superstitious Ægypt these rever'd
And to the hideous tribe their pray'rs prefer'd.
Maim'd Memnon here seem'd on his harp to play,
And hail Osiris bringing on the day.
Pale Isis crescent faintly glimmer'd here,
And barking Anubis display'd the year.
