Excerpt: ... THE RAPE OF PROSERPINE. TBoofclll. Meanwhile in heav'n the Thunderers command Bade Iris, vested in etherial hues, Assemble from the thickly-peopled globe Each deity of earth and sea.

Therefore we forbade "The golden fields to bear spontaneous grain; 3.5 "Nor stored, for careless indolence, the woods "With nectar'd honey; fountains yielded not "The grape's delicious juice, nor madd'ning draughts "Were idly quaff'd from ev'ry mountain-stream.
