NOw to Pbaacia's happy Ifle they came y
For fertile Orchards known to early Fame;
Epirus paft 3 they next beheld with Joy
A fecond Ilium, and fictitious Troy-,
Here Trojan Helenus the Sceptre fway'd ,
Who ftiow'd their Fate, and Myftick Truths di£
play'd,

By him confirmed, Sicilias Ifle they reach'd,
Whole Sides to Sea three Promontories ftretch'd;
Pachynos to the ftormy South is plac'd,
On Lilybaum blows the gentle Weft,
Peloros Cliffs the Northern Bear furvey,"
Who rolls above, and dreads to touch the Sea.
By this they fteer, and favour'd by the Tide,
Secure by Night in Zancles Harbour ride.
