A mighty halo round her silver throne,

With parting meteors crossed, portentous shone:

This in the troubled sky full oft prevails,

Oft deemed a signal of tempestuous gales.

While young Arion sleeps, before his sight

Tumultuous swim the visions of the night:

Now, blooming Anna with her happy swain

Approached the sacred hymeneal fane;

Anon, tremendous lightnings flash between,

And funeral pomp, and weeping loves are seen:
