22. Upon Orpheus. (Book 22)

WHat ever Haemus polisht Vales comprise; The Theatre vouchsafes to Caesar's Eyes. The Rocks creep from their place; Woods give the start: Splendid as Aegles, in the Western Part. The Wolf, and Lamb, the Hound, and Hare desist From enmity; to hear this Lutanist. Rare Philomel, and the Cock-Linnet, fly Hither to learn, Orphean Harmony: Yet he was rent, by an unthankful Bear: Let Thrace choose Fictions; at Rome, Truths thee are.
