Or when the tiger, with his sharp'ned paws,
790Hath caught the infant of the becking dam:
And then the shepherd's care prevents the sharks,
One loudly howls, the other hoarsely barks.
So, semblably, when as the waiting crew
Saw the departing of their golden age,
One gives Bellama, with eye-dew, adieu,
Another's grief unlocked the frenzy cage.
Some tore their hair, some rent their should'ring bands,
Some thwacked their breasts, and wrung their oily hands.
