Stern was her forehead, but a smile serene 15

“Soften’d the terrors of her awful mien.”[339]

Close at her side were all the powers, design’d

To curb, exalt, reform the tender mind:

With panting breast, now pale as winter snows,

Now flushed as Hebe, Emulation rose; 20

Shame follow’d after with reverted eye,

And hue far deeper than the Tyrian dye;

Last Industry appear’d with steady pace,

A smile sat beaming on her pensive face.
