So to the meetinhouse call they paid, 66 And on the altar slaughtered several head z Of ftwo-ycar-olds, to see if they could please r Ceres, and sundry other deities: 4 But first of all, they seek the aid of Juno,

 Through the wide city's avenues and gates , Her restless Majesty perambulates,- As, in the forest, some unwary stag,
 Ion whom some sportsman, seeking game to bag Hath drawn bead, with weapon pitiless,)
 Flies, leaping, through the Cretan wilderness The deadly arrow stickin in his feelings.

Venus perceived that she was playing possum
