When Cerberus gets loose, and scours away
Thro' Hell's dark Regions, rattling at his Heels
A thousand broken Chains, and roars along,
His Viper's Tail lashing his working Sides:
Not ev'n Alecto, nor the grim Megæra,
All Fury as she is, dares the fell Monster face.—
Thro' Hell's dark Regions, rattling at his Heels
A thousand broken Chains, and roars along,
His Viper's Tail lashing his working Sides:
Not ev'n Alecto, nor the grim Megæra,
All Fury as she is, dares the fell Monster face.—
