[_]

This verse appears under the frontispiece to Canto V.

View here the Authors high Designe,
His Book displaid, his Tapers shine,
Is Athenian Bird, the Dog, and Cat,
Which watchfull Study intimate.
THEOPHLA doth before Him stand
Amused wits erected Hand;
And, like an Eagle, upward flies,
Rapt by bright ANGELS to the SKIES.
