fp LASHES a flame of gold and orange hy. 



Dazzling the vision with its wondrous htie. 

 As though a lens shot all the sunlight through 

 Upon that form and dimmed the summer sky^ 

 Or like a smith, with mimic hammer high. 

 Of rubies made, who from a rainbow drew 

 Showers of sparks ; thus when the oriole flew 

 His wondrous wings beat out such flames, the eye 

 Could only dream of him when he had flown.
