Into a narrow sphere's brief compass strait

The stars of heav'n, in order absolute;

With frantic passion woo'd Theano's charms,

Infuriate,—nor ceased his am'rous suit,

Till he had clasp'd the damsel in his arms.

XIV.

And what a flame of love the Paphian queen

Lit, in her wrath, in the enamour'd breast

Of Socrates,—whom of the sons of men

Apollo named the wisest and the best!
