VII. On the STATUE of ÆSCULAPIUS.
The Son of Pæon to Miletus came,To meet his Nicias, of illustrious Name:
He, in deep Reverence of his Guest divine,
Deck'd with the daily Sacrifice his Shrine;
And of the God this Cedar Statue bought—
A finish'd Work, by skill'd Eetion wrought.
The Sculptor with a lavish Sum repay'd,
Here all the Wonders of his Art display'd!
