Anxious, the charge to all the stars resign'd,

And plac'd a confidence in sea and wind.

Ausonia soon receiv'd her wondering guest,

And equal wonder in her turn confess'd,

To see her fervours rival'd by the pole,

Her lustre beaming from a northern soul:

In like surprise was her Æneas lost,

To find his picture grace a foreign coast.

Now the wide field of Europe he surveys,

Compares her kings, her thrones and empires weighs,
