De Orpheo, Epig. 21.

What Thrace on Orpheus Stage was said to see
Cæsar the Sand exhibits here to thee.
The Rocks have crept, and the strange Wood did move,
Such as was once believd th'Hisperian Grove.
128

A mingled troop of all wilde Beasts were there,
And ore the Bard a cloud of Birds in th'aire.
But he lay torn by the ungrateful Bear
As it came feigned thence so twas true here.
