False is that tale of doubled night,

When overlong the stars delayed

Within the skies, and Hesperus

In place of Lucifer arose,

And Delia with tardy car145

Kept back the sun. What Scythian crag

Begot thee, or what stony mount?

Like some wild Titan wast thou born

On Rhodope, or Athos rough?

What savage beast on Caspian shores,
