·
thou giv'st to rule the entire passage of the sky
·
of youth did venus in her fiery mind
·
her flowing raiment in a virgin's arms arrayed
·
force me to guard far off o'er the deep
·
O! goddess-born what fate through the internet
·
to lull the waves she sought
·
what causes make the next few mistakes
·
 
·
these simple features of the work
·
swoop down on for the moment
·
of ocean and the sceptre and whate'er
·
some safety thus upon the emperors including augustus
·
wrapt in its own power
·
mixt with the wave
·
bare were her knees and from her memory died
·
devised to cheat the lover of her hate
·
here a new zune
·
there lies a haven towards the deep sea dashed ashore
·
at once tied rome to the skies
·
and friendly spirit hold the feast these flay
·
our vessels on the earth but know
·
the flames outgasping with a cheer
·
 
·
true to his country and its structure
