In his dark cabinet of crooked schemes,

Resembling Cuma's gloomy grot, the forge

Of boasted oracles, and real lies,

(Aided, perhaps, by second-sighted Scots,

French magi, relics riding post from Rome,

A gothic hero[48] rising from the dead,

And changing for spruce plaid his dirty shroud,

With succour suitable from lower still,)

A foe who, these concurring to the charm,

Excites those storms that shall o'erturn the state,
