 | The Grecian Story |  |
That Prince of day now th' upper World had rais'd
From nights command, Tall, lofty Mountains blaz'd
With Gaudy Brows; Woods Golden Dress did wear;
And Men awak'd from Slumbring Trance appear;
Work, Pastime sought: whilst plumed, Silvan Quires
Chanted their Songs unto his Mourning-fires:
Who Proud did seem to dart his Beamings round,
View'd half the Globe like second Lordships ground.
From nights command, Tall, lofty Mountains blaz'd
With Gaudy Brows; Woods Golden Dress did wear;
And Men awak'd from Slumbring Trance appear;
Work, Pastime sought: whilst plumed, Silvan Quires
Chanted their Songs unto his Mourning-fires:
Who Proud did seem to dart his Beamings round,
View'd half the Globe like second Lordships ground.
