I'll fing in lofty Strains aloud

Triumphs of the bury'd God.

Hell and the Grave are Captives led,

Death is conquer'd by the Dead!

But hark, from Calvary rebounds
Mixture of affrighting Sounds
Loud echoing dreadful from afar,
Of the Slain and of the Slayer,
That wounds mine Ear: hafte quickly, fly
To the Mountain's Top mine Eye:

Him 'midft the Three expiring view;
How unlike the other two!

His gentle Head he meekly bends,
Wide his facred Arms extends;

The cruel Nails, his Weight that bear,
Tear him, faft'ning while they tear.

This fuffer'd, wretched Man, for Thee,

Without fuff'ring canft Thou fee?

Thick rife thy Groans, thy Vesture tear,
Beat the Breast and rend the Hair;

The tend'reft yearning Pangs be thine:
All in Purple fee him shine,

Not purchas'd from the Tyrian Shore,
Dy'd, alas! with dropping Gore:

Part by his bleeding Temples fhed

From the Thorns which pierc'd his Head,
Part from the long-drawn Furrows flow'd
Which the twisted Scourge has plough'd.
High let thy Streams of Sorrow rife,
Ope the Fountains of thine Eyes,
Pour, pour on Earth a gushing Flood;
Since, fo lib'ral of his Blood,

His vital Drops for Thee He spares,
Canft thou, Mortal, grudge thy Tears?

Elicula ad fpeculum faltu lafcivit herile,
Lafcivam faltu feliculamque videt.

Nigra videt nigram; bicolor nafo, bicolorem ;
Glaucaque torquentem lumina, glauca tuens.
Et fociam ad lufus lenta incurvamine caudæ
Provocat, & lepidi mobilitate pedis.
Utraque utramque laceffit, & utraque palpat utram-
[que;
Et molle oppofitos explicat unguiculos.
Jam tumet in tergum, & fimulatas expuit iras;
Et tumet, & fimiles expuit umbra minas.
Quænam hæc fit, Mima unde fuí tam mimica, quærit
Felis; an in fpeculo, poft fpeculumne, fiet.

Te quoque, præfentem præfens, quam quæris, & Illa
Quærit; an in fpeculo, poft fpeculumné, fies.
Alterutra alterutram quæritque & decipit, idque
Felicula facitis, quod facis una, duæ.

CRiftatus, pictifque ad Thaida P fittacus alis,

Miffus ab Eoo munus amante venit.

Ancillis mandat primam formare loquelam,
Archididafcalia dat fibi Thais opus.

Pfittace, ait Thais, fingitque fonantia molle
Bafia, quæ docilis molle refingit Avis.
Jam captat, jam dimidiat Tyrunculus ; & jam
Integrat auditos articulatque fonos.

Pfittace mi pulcher pulchelle, Hera dicit alumno;
Pfittace mi pulcher, reddit alumnus Hera.
Famque canit, ridet, deciefque agrotat in hora,
Et vocat ancillas nomine quamque fuo.
Multaque fcurratur mendax, & multa jocatur,
Et lepido populum detinet augurio.

Nunc tremulum illudit Fratrem ; qui fufpicit,& Pol! Carnalis, quifquis te docet, inquit, Homo eft. Argutæ nunc ftridet anûs argutulus instar ;

Refpicit, & nebulo es, quifquis es, inquit Anus.

Quando fuit melior Tyro, meliorve Magistra!

Quando duo ingeniis tam coiere pares! Ardua difcenti nulla eft, res nulla docenti Ardua; cum doceat Fæmina, difcat Avis.
