OW Glaucus, with a Lover's Haste, bounds o'er
The swelling Waves, and seeks the Latian Shore.
Messena, Rhegium, and the barren Coast
Of flaming Ætna, to his Sight are lost:
At length he gains the Tyrrhene Seas, and views
The Hills where baneful Philters Circe brews;
Monsters, in various Forms, around her press;
As thus the God salutes the Sorceress.
O Circe, be indulgent to my Grief,
And give a Love-sick Deity Relief.
Too well the mighty Power of Plants I know,
To those my Figure, and new Face I owe.
