Description
No vulgar strain, eternal Goddess, sing! What dreary ghosts to glutted Pluto fled, What nations suffered, and what heroes bled: Sing Asia's powerful Prince, who envious saw The fame of Athens, and her might in war; 6 And scorns her power, at Cytherea's call Her ruin plans, and meditates her fall; How Athens, blinded to the approaching.
