* Soon, in the ftarry dome, my Sire fupreme Shall twine around me with a Father's flame. Me, vifidng the earth, you fhall behold 1060 CJoath'd with the drap'ry of a blazing cloud ; Celeftials without number in my train, Brufhing with golden wings th'etherial plain. He faid : when by the rites the H ; gh-Prieft tore The robe which flowing down his back he wore. 1065 Glows not the proof with light, he thus exclaims, Behold, his crime before us he proclaims ? Do not our laws condemn to bitter deat...h The man, who dares aflert from God his birth ? Hafte, drag him to the Roman Conful's gate ^070 Inftant obey : and give him up to fate. Peter, mean time, ftruck with the penfive cafe, At diftance fighing, eyes his Lord's difgrace. Approaching now the Temple's facred wall, Where rofe in pride the Flamen's fpacious hall : 1075 Lonefome he fat, befide an open door, With forrow heavy and in fpirit poor. A female flave, the Pontif's portrefs, eyes Th'unhappy man, and inftantly thus cries ; Say, (hare you not the Captive's crimes and flight, 1080 Why roam you elfe, when all rcpofe, by night ?
