Swept from her wide dominions skill'd to draw
The unerring bowin ships Euphrates sends
From golden Babylon. With falchions arm'd

Laments their absence; many an anxious look
Their wivestheir parents sendcount the slow days
And tremble at the long-protracted time.

And glitt'ring like a god his radiant state displays.
