Then foak’d for nine days ia cold Heli- coa's fprin^, A fceptre compofc for a pedagogue’s hand, Like the fafccs of Rome, a true badge of command. The fceptre thus tiaifh’d like Mofe’s rod, Trom fliats can draw tears, and giTC life to a clod. Should dirknefs Egyptian, and igno* ranee fpread Their clouds o’er the mind, or earclope tha head, This rod, thrice applj’d, put* the dark- nefs to flight, D'fperfes the clouds, and reftores us to light.
