where were then the terrors of the bow That laid Latona's haughty rival low ? For not on Lycia's hills the huntress stray'd To rouse the brindled tyrant of the glade ; DIANA OF EPHESUS. 109 In Latmian groves, and Caria's echoing shore, The shout was silent, and the chase was o'er. In Pella's regal towers Lucina shed Her aiding influence o'er Olympia's head. Her buskins loosenM, and her bow unstrung, O'er the young conqueror of the world she hung, And watch'd his cradled rest, while frenzy woke,... And wra t the fane she loved in volumed smoke. Regenerate soon, and brighter than of old, The cedar portals rose in blazon 1 d gold, Again the quarried structure rear'd its head, Firm as the rock in ocean's oozy bed, To dare the whirlwind's unavailing sweep, And brave the trident of the heaving deep. A hundred kings the sculptur'd shafts bestow'd That bore the mighty roofs incumbent load. Daughter of Jove ! that column'd range along Swells to thy praise no more the choral song, HO DIANA OF EPHESUS.
