"The Sintiants hardly could my breath recall,
"Giddy and gasping with the dreadful fall.”

She smil'd; and smiling her white arm display'd
To reach the bowl her awkward son convey'd: 691
From right to left the gen'rous bowl he crown'd,
And dealt the rosy nectar fairly round.
The gods laugh'd out unweary'd as they spy'd
The busy skinker hop from side to side.
Thus feasting to the full they pass'd away
In blissful banquets all the livelong day;
Nor wanted melody: with heav'nly art
The Muses sung; each Muse perform'd her part
Alternate warbling, while the golden lyre
Touch'd by Apollo led the vocal choir.
The sun at length declin'd, when ev'ry guest
Sought his bright palace and withdrew to rest.
Each had his palace on th' Olympian hill,
A masterpiece of Vulcan's matchless skill.
Ev'n he, the god who heav'n's great sceptre sways,
And frowns amid the lightning's dreadful blaze,
His bed of state ascending lay compos'd;
His eyes a sweet refreshing slumber clos'd;
And at his side, all glorious to behold,

Was Juno, lodg'd in her alcove of gold.
