Not the tiara’s band, 
Or harmlefs crofier’d hand, 
Would now forfend him from th’ affaffin’s

Hafte to the tomb! it waits thee long; 
Thou art of purer eyes than to behold this

Rape, who deli ghts to rufh 
Where beams the virgin’s blufh; 
Murder fcarce waiting for Sufpicion’s call, 
Ere in the ‘bifhop’s hoary hair 
Elis grappling fift is fixt, his lifted potenats

Then all the angel train 
Shall vifit'earth again; 
And Michael bind the dragon’s ftrength anew ; 
While the taught nations bend,

So when the feven-mouth’d tide 
Withdraws his waters wide, 
And feeds his {caly flocks in narrower vale; 
Emerging groves are feen, 
Enrob’d in fpringing green,

With pearled wrift the bathing maidens come: 
And joyous crouds with fport and fong, 
Stroll where the levelling ftream traild its 
flow width jc
