The mighty God of day: to his they join

Latona's name, and Artemis, far fam'd

For her fleet arrows and unerring bow.

Of heroes next, and heroines, they sing,

And deeds of antient prowess. Crowds around,

Of every region, every language, stand

In mute applause, sooth'd with the pleasing lay.

Vers'd in each art and every power of speech,

The Delians mimick all who come: to them

All language is familiar: you would think
