Nor less by Philomeda known on earth,

A name derived immediate from her birth:

Her first attendants to the immortal choir

Were Love, the oldest god, and fair Desire;

The virgin whisper, and the tempting smile,

The sweet allurements that can hearts beguile,

Soft blandishments which never fail to move,

Friendship, and all the fond deceits in love,

Constant her steps pursue, or will she go

Among the gods above, or men below."
