 Shall it be fill'd with Sacrilegious War? For Combatants the shameful Theatre? Oh No! at length let thy swoln Vengeance burst! Impunity too long their Crimes has Nurst. Arise then, Themis, shake thy flaming Rod; Absolve the Heav'ns, and Vindicate a God!

Thus to her Sister spoke the Plaintive Dame; Grace kindling in her Eyes Æthereal Flame. Themis Assures an undeferr'd Redress; With Cordial Speech thus Chearing her Distress.

Dear, Holy Sister, Thou whose Ears and Eyes Were Never shut to Other's Miseries; But still with thy Officious Helpful Hands, Hast wip'd away their Tears, and loos'd their Bands. Why
