The river-gods, in awful council stand:

Immingled gold amidst their oziers gleams,

Each pond'rous urn with studded lustre beams.

Presiding Dryads quit their subject woods;

Directing Naiads leave their silver floods,

Every bright guardian of th' extended clime,

Graces the solemn court with port sublime.

Round the august Divan, a mournful look

Bent the sad Queen—and brooding silence broke;

Ire mix'd with grief convolv'd her labouring breast,
