THefe ufeful rules from time and chance to fave, 

 In Latian Strains, the ftudious FRESNOY gave; 

 On Tiber's peaceful banks the Poet lay, 775

 Thro' hoftile camps, and crimfon fields of (lain, 

 To vindicate his Race and vanquiili Spain ; 

 High on the Alps he took his warrior ftand, 

 And thence, in ardent volley from his hand 780 

 His thunder darted ; (fo the Flatterer fings 

 In Jlrams beft fiated to the Ear of Kings)

Dum fuper infanas moles, inimicaque caftra 

 Borbonidum decus 6c vindex Lodoicus avorum, 

 Fulminat ardenti dextra, patrireque refurgens
