Vast Piles of massy Rocks; impos'd a King,
Who should by certain Measures know to curb,
Or, when commanded, to indulge their Rage.

Mr. _Pit_,

"But _Jove_, the mighty Ruin to prevent,
In gloomy Caves th'Aereal Captives pent:
O'er their wild Rage the pond'rous Rock he spread,
And hurl'd huge Heaps of Mountains on their Head;
And gave a King commissioned to restrain
And curb the Tempest, or to loose the Rein.

_Hurl'd_, _huge_, _Heaps_, _Head_, all in the same Line, imitate
Virgil's _Metuens_, _Molem_, _Montis_.

And again,

"--_Facti de nomine_ Byrsam;
_Sed vos qui tandem, quibus aut venistis ab oris,
Quove tenetis iter?_--

Dr. _Trapp_,

"--And the Name of _Byrsa_ gave
In Mem'ry of the Deed. But, in your turn,
At length inform me, who, and whence you are,
_And whither bound_?--

Mr. _Pit_,
