22. Upon Orpheus.
What ever Hæmus polisht Vales comprise;The Theatre vouchsafes to Cæsar's Eyes.
The Rocks creep from their place; Woods give the start:
Splendid as Ægles, in the Western Part.
The Wolf, and Lamb, the Hound, and Hare desist
From enmity; to hear this Lutanist.
Rare Philomel, and the Cock-Linnet, fly
Hither to learn, Orphean Harmony:
Yet he was rent, by an unthankful Bear:
Let Thrace choose Fictions; at Rome, Truths these are.
