AUGUSTA.

Recitative.

Now shall AUGUSTA's Sons their Skill impart,
And summon the dumb Sister Art,
In Marble Life to show,
What the Patriot was below.
Here, let a weeping Cupid stand,
And wound himself with his own Dart;
There place the Ducal Crown, the Sword, the Wand,
The Mark of ANNA's Trust and his Command.
