Next Morn with Beams the Globe did Beautifie,
As would with their intended March comply,
Adorn the way; like blushing Handmaid there.
Things being well order'd now, Dispos'd, what-e're,
All forwards set (Hir'd Coach) by early Hour;
Morning withdrawn to th' Oriental Bow'r,
Bright Noon succeeds; that Stage being over past,
His Charet drives the Princely Sun in haste,
Down th' Azure Western Road, with blazing Head;
Whilst they themselves through Flow'ry Banks, fine-spread,
Their Journey took; till enter'd Forrest wild
(Birds chaunting round) by false, bad Track beguil'd.
