Arches on arches in procession tower, Upreared on pedestals of massive power ; On these the circling terraces were spread, And marble stairs from one another led. The nearer heaven the lofty flight ascends The more of glory with the landscape blends. 'Twas here Belshazzar held his impious feast, Supplied with all the dainties of the east. The guests by thousands thronged the entrance halls And ante-rooms that lay around the walls. The signal given, they crowd through corridors, And glide with l...ightsome step along the marble floors, Ascend the steps with gorgeous paintings hung, While louder and more loud the greeting trumpets rung. MUTABILITY. 49 In order ranged, they feast on viands rare, And fruits that only glow in Eden's balmy aiiv High in the midst the purple throne was reared, From whence the festival in glittering pomp appeared ; Beneath, the royal table was outspread, And here the king and peers the sumptuous ban- quet led. A troop of bright-eyed virgins wait around, Their bosoms decked with flowers, their hair with fillets bound.
