Gods, and the sons of Gods her song inspire. Francis.
In this infancy of the arts, when it was the business of the Muse, as the same Poet informs us,
Publica privatis secernere, sacra prophanis;
Concubitu prohibere vago, dare jura maritis,
Oppida moliri, leges includere ligno.[11]
Poetic Wisdom mark’d with happy mean,
Public and private, sacred and profane,
The wandering joys of lawless love supprest,
With equal rites the wedded couple blest,
Plann’d future towns, and instituted laws, &c. Francis.
