Fury our Judgement charms,
And we conceive it brave to dye in Arms.

Ascanius did embrace
My hand, and follow'd with no equal pace.
But them I'm not so foolish to believe.
Happy is he that hidden causes knowes.
Suffer thou with patience this delay.
Bacchus loves the Sunny hills.
O Divine Poet, me thy Verses please
More than soft slumber laid in quiet ease.
They say the Deity
Is mix'd through Earth, the Sea, and lofty Skie.
Britany, from all the World disjoyn'd.
No Beast is half so False as Man.
Yet I a way to raise my self have found,
Shall make my Name through all the World renown'd.
What strange Dreams disturb my rest?
Great things to compare with Small.
Here sweet Meads, cool Fountains be,
Here Groves where I could spend my Age with thee.
I the Mountain take,
Bearing my aged Father on my Back.
So great the Task to raise the Roman State!
But who art thou? that Voyce, and beauteous Face,
Not Mortal is; thou art of Heavenly Race.
