And mimic Lightning flash’d along the room;

Maidens and men, the nymph to entertain,

With rueful Wonder felt the numbing pain;

Amaz’d to think what Creature could bestow

Strokes without force and pain without a blow.

All on a Stool, high raised on feet of Glass, 790

She saw the fiery Sparks her fingers pass;

All who approached the pungent Spark sustain’d;

They felt alike who gave it and who gain’d;

No Arrows Cupid sent from Heart to Heart
