Thus while her locks above, below, the flood Conceal'd her charms, asham'd, and pleas'd, she stood ; At once she smil'd, she blush'd love's richest hue ; Still as she blush'd, her smile more lovely .grew ; Itself in turn enhanc'd the rosy grace Whose deep suffusion dyed her angel face. Then from her lips such winning accents broke, That stoutest hearts had yielded as she spoke: " Ye happy strangers, hail ! whose favour'd feet " Have reach'd this regi...on fair, this blest retreat, "The refuge of the world ! here care is drown'd, "Man's woes repair'd, and those true joys are found, " Which early mortals, free and uncontroll'd, " Once tasted, in the long-lost age of gold. " Those arms which with success your hands have- plied, "Ye now may lay with unconcern aside, * La Dea (Tamore.— Alluding to the celebrated Venus Anadyo- mene of Praxiteles.
