The Rhodopean hind now tempts the plains,

And tunes from Hemus his Orphean strains.

The Sarmat, Cæsar, hies, thy works to see;

And gives the steed he swills[104] to share the glee.

They come, who first the rising Nile explore;

And they who hear remotest ocean roar.

The Arab hasted, the Sabean flew;

And the Cilician own’d his native dew.

With tortured tresses, here Sicambrians gay;

There Ethiops, bristling in their diverse way.
