When a'more violent Passion burned within his breast,
And the strains, which had subdued all things around him,
Could not soothe the sorrows of him, from whom they
proceeded, Complaining of the cruel deities, He went to
their infernal abodes.
There, bringing tender strains From
his harmonious strings, He weeps, and moves even the
infernal regions, And with a sweet prayer Solicits pardon
and favor of the gods of the shades.

cruel goddesses, the avengers of crimes, Who are the
authors of miseries, Are now bedewed with tears in sor-

Heeds not the waters near him. The vulture, while he is
delighted with the strains, Tears not the liver of Tityus.

Repeats the story of her birth;

And all the planets in their turn,
Confirm the tidings as they roll,
And spread the truth from pole to pole.
