For all his exploits in the heavenly space,—

Described before with those of equal race;)—

She, as fair Vesta, is the bounteous globe;[146]

And came arrayed in spring’s delightful robe:

Her crown of towers pointed to the skies,

Which proved a landmark for a thousand eyes:

Of many flow’rs her vestment bore the print,

And charmed the eye with their impressive tint;

With her great key spring’s treasures she lets loose,

And with a generous hand deals them profuse’.
