Incourag'd thus, Brontin a Mallet shook,
And Boirude a Nail-driving Hammer took.
Lamour's Heroic Steps they tread, and feel
An unknown Warmth, a more than Human Zeal.
Happy the Wretched who implore the Aid
Of such a Leader, such a firm Brigade!
The Moon, who spy'd their haughty March from far,
Withdraws her Peaceful Light, and aids the War.
Discord pursu'd them, with a favou'ring Eye,$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,}$
She grin'd a Smile, and with her hideous Cry
Drove back the trembling Clouds, and pierc'd the vaulted Sky.
From thence the Sound descended to th' Abode
Of the ^[1]Citose, and wak'd Sloth's drowsy God.
