"More to inftruct thee, when five years shall end,
"I will again to vifit thee defcend,
"Bringing thy beauteous fon to charm thy fight,
"Whose godlike form shall fill thee with delight;
"Him will I leave thenceforward to thy care,
"And will that with him thou to Troy repair:
"There, if enquiry shall be made, to know
"To whom thou dost so bright an offspring owe;
"Be fure thou nothing of the truth detect,
"But ready answer make as I direct.

"Say of a sylvan nymph the fair youth came,
"And Calycopis call his mother's name.
"For should'st thou boaft the truth, and madly own
"That thou in bliss hadst Cytherea known,
"Jove would his anger pour upon thy head,
"And with avenging thunder strike thee dead.
"Now all is told thee, and just caution given,
"Be fecret thou, and dread the wrath of heaven."

She faid, and sudden foar'd above his fight,
Cutting through liquid air her heavenward flight.
All hail, bright Cyprian Queen! thee first I praise,
Then to fome other power transfer my lays.
