Far hence removed, the Stygian seats are seen;

Pains of the damned, and punished Catiline,

Hung on a rock—the traitor; and, around,

The Furies hissing from the nether ground.

Apart from these, the happy souls he draws,

And Cato's holy ghost dispensing laws.

Betwixt the quarters flows a golden sea;

But foaming surges there in silver play.

The dancing dolphins with their tails divide

The glittering waves, and cut the precious tide.
