Ruffinus’ Walks, and stately Portico’s
Crowded with Art, and marbled Images
Submit to my superior Workmanship.
Not the fam’d Temple, which at Cyzico,
By Adrian built, stands on a lofty Rock,
Nor Ægypt’s costly Pyramids, nor at Rhodes
The mighty Colosse equal me in Greatness.
When my good Emperor, in hostile Manner,
Quell’d the Isaurian Faction, thus he rais’d me
In Honour of Aurora, and the Winds.
