Springs forth in presence of this gaudy show,

While narrow cares their limits overflow.

Thrice happy, burghers, peasants, warriors old,

Infants in arms, and ye, that as ye go

Home-ward or school-ward, ape what ye behold

Heroes before your time, in frolic fancy bold!

And[511] when that calm Spectatress from on high

Looks down—the bright and solitary Moon,

Who never gazes but to beautify;
