OVID's Description of NIOBE, when she heard of the Death of her Children, and ran to find their dead Bodies.
How different from that Niobe, whose prideThe sacred rites to heav'nly powers deny'd;
Whose haughty look, and insolence of mien,
Mov'd indignation wheresoe'er 'twas seen;
Now humbled by distress, and chang'd by woe,
Might melt to tears the most obdurate foe.
