Which conquer'd treasure rais'd with Tuscan Hands.

As if it were o're-cyz'd for Modern Men;
The ancient Giants might inhabit it;
And there walk free as winds that pass unseen,

But the attendant Guards denote him wise;
Who on the weather of his Peoples hearts,
For a short Course, not voyages, relies.

Tybalt did pass the first magnifick Square;
And through ascents does enter to behold,
Where the States Head and Eies assembled are.
