That gods by labour raised, and gods o'erthrew;

Those fields where daring acts of valour shone;

So many fights were lost:—so many won.

BUT to resume my thread, and not extend

Too much the subjects which our plan suspend;

This Cymon, who's the hero of our tale,

When walking near the banks that form the dale

Through which Scamander's waters freely flow,

Observed a youthful charmer thither go,

To breathe the cool refreshing breeze around;
