Shall populous towns arise, and crested towers

And stately temples rear their heads on high.

Cautious with course circuitous they shunn’d

The embattled city, which in eldest time

Thrice-greatest Hermes built, so fables say,

Now subjugate, but fated to behold

Ere long the heroic Prince (who passing now

Unknown and silently the dangerous track,

Turns thither his regardant eye) come down

Victorious from the heights, and bear abroad
