 | The Grecian Story |  |
When strait appear'd soft Motion in each Part,
Deep Trance desolv'd, like curious Watch by art
Whose nicest Wheels do move in order round;
Such was that dainty'st Frame, reviv'd compound.
Her wand'ring Soul, as newly wakened then,
Travers'd with Joy it's Beauteous House agen;
Choice Rooms survey'd; fine Progress 'twas and rare:
Delightful Scene, to see that World of fare,
Prime-Lovely, sweet like Model new-created,
By Heaven Inspir'd: each wonder Grace restated
In Checks and Lips: those gallant, Sun-bright Eyes
Break through their Morning lids while th' Eastern Skies
Sol broke to view't as 'twere: Orsamnes tho
Was pleas'd to think, those Rays from Her did flow,
His Light of Joys at least: spring-like fresh, warm
Clermanthe thew'd, much industry, that Charm
Orsamnes Voyce new-blest the World; howere,
Thirsander's Art prov'd instrumental there.
