Orpheus and Margarita.
Hail tuneful Pair! Say by what wond'rous CharmsOne scap'd from Hell, and one from Greber's Arms.
When the soft Thracian struck the trembling Strings,
The Winds were hush'd, and furl'd their ruffling Wings:
And since the tawny Tuscan rais'd her Strain,
R---k furls his Sails, and dozes on the Main;
Treaties unfinish'd in the Office sleep,
And Sh---el yawns for Orders on the Deep.
Thus equal Charms an equal Conquest claim,
To him high Woods and bending Timber came,
To her shrub H---s and tall N---m.
