Th' unwearied blaze incessant streams supplies,
Like the red star that fires th' autumnal skies.

 

 But Pallas now Tydides' soul inspires,
Fills with her rage, and warms with all her fires;
⁠force,
O'er all the Greeks decrees his fame to raise,
Above the Greeks her warriour's fame to raise,
⁠his deathless
And crown her hero with immortal praise:
⁠distinguish'd
Bright from his beamy crest the lightnings play,
High on⁠helm
From his broad buckler flash'd the living ray,
High on his helm celestial lightnings play,
His beamy shield emits a living ray.
The Goddess with her breath the flame supplies,
Bright as the star whose fires in Autumn rise;
Her breath divine thick streaming flames supplies,
Bright as the star that fires th' autumnal skies:
Th' unwearied blaze incessant streams supplies,
Like the red star that fires th' autumnal skies:

 

⁠When first he rears his radient orb to sight,
And bath'd in ocean shoots a keener light,
Such glories Pallas on the chief bestow'd,
Such from his arms the fierce effulgence flow'd;
Onward she drives him furious to engage,
Where the fight burns, and where the thickest rage.

 

When fresh he rears his radient orb to sight,
And gilds old Ocean with a blaze of light,
Bright as the star that fires the autumnal skies,
Fresh from the deep, and gilds the seas and skies.
