From Barclay.

Sic roseis stat Forma Genis, &c.

'Tis thus their Cheeks the rosy Colour dyes,
Such pointed Honours from their Front arise,
And such gay Splendor sparkles in their Eyes.
See the Cœlestial Form! not, dress'd with Light,
The Pow'r of Day shines more divinely bright;
Nor the twin Stars, which when the Tempest roars,
The fearful Mariner with Vows implores.

41

With less distinguish'd Grace do's Mars appear,
Aray'd in all the Glory of the War;
[illeg.] when himself th'enervate Warrior arms
With tender Airs, and try's the Lover's Charms.
