Then Pluto look’d about the torrid space,

Stepp’d in his chariot with a kingly grace,

And rais’d his beam, full half a ton in weight:

When (pointing to his own imperial seat,

Which stood upon a mount encompass’d round

By awful chasms and unstable ground,)

He gave the word—the trumpets shook the vast

With the outpourings of their mighty blast!

* * * * *

The clouds divided, and the train pass’d through;
