Phœbus the azure vault had clomb,
And now was gliding down the dome;
Great Appalachian's awful brow,
Had cast a lengthened shade below;
And, to descend to meaner things,
The sunflower faced the western springs;
When Leo, by his appetite,
Thought all the beasts might want a bite,
And so, that he might grow no thinner,
Adjourned the court, and went to dinner.
