From Pope's Homer, the second book of Odyssey, verse 99, &c. Elusive of the bridal day, she gives Fond hopes to all, and all with hopes deceives. Did not the sun thro' heaven's wide azure roll'd For three long years the royal fraud behold, While she, laborious in delusion, spread The spacious loom, and mix'd the various thread? Where, as to life, the wondrous figures rise. Thus spoke the inventive queen, with artful sighs: "Tho' cold in death Ulysses breathes no more, "Cease yet awhile to urge the bridal hour; "Cease, till to great Laertes I bequeath "A task of grief, his ornaments of death; "Lest when the Fates his royal ashes claim, "The Grecian matrons taint my spotless name, "When he, whom living mighty realms obey'd, "Shall want in death, a shroud to grace his shade." Thus she: at once the generous train complies, Nor fraud mistrusts in virtue's fair disguise: The work she ply'd; but, studious of delay, By night revers'd the labours of the day; While thrice the sun his annual journey made, The conscious lamp the midnight fraud survey'd (J.
