My fishy tail, my arms of azure hue,
And every part divinely chang'd, I view.
But what avail thefe ufelefs honours now?
What joys can immortality beftow?
What, though our Nereids all my form approve?
What boots it, while fair Scylla fcorns my love?

Thus far the god; and more he would have faid; When from his prefence flew the ruthless maid. Stung with repulse, ́in such disdainful fort, He feeks Titanian Circe's horrid court.
