Page 435 - Anon out of the earth a fabric huge Rose like an exhalation, with the sound Of dulcet symphonies and voices sweet, Built like a temple, where pilasters round Were set, and Doric pillars overlaid With golden architrave ; nor did there want Cornice or frieze, with bossy sculptures graven ; The roof was fretted gold.
Page 59 - Phoebus lifts his golden fire : The birds in vain their amorous descant join, Or cheerful fields resume their green attire.
