[118]. Æneid lib. viii. 447.

Their artful hands a shield prepare.

One stirs the fire, and one the bellows blows;

The hissing steel is in the smithy drowned;

The grot with beaten anvils groans around.

By turns their arms advance in equal time,

By turns their hands descend and hammers chime;

They turn the glowing mass with crooked tongs.

Dryden.
