And now the horn-mouth'd Belman of the night
Had sent his midnight summons, to inuite
Nights rauenous rebids, from their secret holds
To rome, and visite the securer folds,
Whilst drouzie Morpheus, with his leaden keyes,
Locks vp the Shepherds eye-lids, and betrayes
The scattered flocks, which lye like sacrifices,
Expecting fire when the Sun-god rises.
