METAMORPHOSES.

BOOK VIII.

Translated by Mr. Dryden and Others.

The Story of Nisus and Scylla.

By Mr. Croxall.

OW shone the Morning Star in bright
Array,
To vanquish Night, and usher in the Day:
The Wind veers Southward, and moist Clouds arise,
That blot with Shades the Blue Meridian Skies.
Cephalus feels with Joy the kindly Gales,
His new Allies unfurl the swelling Sails;
