The mighty God of day: to his they join
Latona's name, and Artemis, far fam'd

Of heroes next, and heroines, they sing,
And deeds of antient prowess. Crowds around,

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
