Frost.
See Winter.
As when the Winter's freezing Breath constrainsThe Scythian Euxine in her icy Chains:
No more the Bosphori their Streams maintain,
Nor rushing Ister heaves the languid Main:
Hem'd in with Ice, each Keel forgets its Course;
Whilst o'er the new made Champian bounds the Horse.
401
And print the stable Tide with sounding Wains.—
