Bind their resplendent locks inwreath'd with beams.

The same comparison that I propose to be made between the fourth and sixth verses of this passage, may be repeated between the last lines of the following quotations:

————Under foot the violet,

Crocus, and hyacinth, with rich in-lay

Broider'd the ground, more colour'd than with stone

Of costliest emblem.

————Here in close recess,

With flowers, garlands, and sweet-smelling herbs,

Espoused Eve first deck'd her nuptial bed;

And heav'nly choirs the hymenean sung.
