The wiles those learned Registers record,
Courage, and fears, their motion and their rest;

Where she appears the loathsome Slave of Fate;
For here her various Dead possess the Room.

And she dry'd by him, whom that He obay'd;
By her an El'phant that with Heards had fought,
Of which the smallest Beast made her afraid.
