Others usurp the features of the dead, And shake the torch around the murderer's bed ; Affright the vigil, or in wanton mirth, Make fools seek hidden treasures in the earth, Or lead the weary traveller awry, Or rising, flame amazement in the sky. Now with the crowd Delusion forward came, A troop of phantoms flutter'd round the dame ; In bands the throng she instantly divides, A phantom over every band presides. Foremost a bright majestic form appear'd, And in her hand the honor'd fasces rear'd ...; Forward she strode with more than virgin pace, And leer'd upon the crowd with haughty grace. THOMAS GODFREY. 1 Power was her name ; assuming, selfish Pride And glittering Pomp attended by her side. Her favorite son on a high seat she placed, With mimic gems and glassy bawbles graced ; Close by his side was seated wrinkled Care, While Envy view'd him with malicious stare : Sternly he eyed around the servile throng, While loud acclaim proceeded from each tongue ; But from the giddy height devolving soon, Reproach, contempt, and shame is on him thrown.
