The British Enchanters.

Gods and Giants tumble down,
And Mars is foil'd by Encelade,
Horror, Confusion, vengeful Ire,
Daggers, Poison, Sword, and Fire,
To execute the destin'd Wrath conspire:
The Furies loose their Snaky Rods,
And lash both Men and Gods.

Chorus of Instrumental Musick for Discord.

SYMPHONY for LOVE.


SHEPHERDESS.

But when Love bids Discord cease,

The jarring Seeds unite in Peace;
O the Pleasures past expressing!
All is joy, and all is Blessing,
Hail to Love, and welcome Joy,
Hail to the delicious Boy!
In Cyprus first the God was known;
Then coasting to the Main,
In Britany he fix'd his Reign,
And in Oriana's Eyes his Throne.

CHORUS.

Hail to Love, and welcome joy,

Hail to the delicious Boy!
