The sun in human limbs arrayed, and brow,

All radiant from his triumph in the fight;

The shaft hath just been shot—the arrow, bright

With an immortal's vengeance; in his eye

And nostril, beautiful disdain, and might,

And majesty, flash their full lightnings by,

Developing in that one glance the Deity.

"But in his delicate form, a dream of love,

Shaped by some solitary nymph, whose breast

Longed for a deathless lover from above,
