348 This done, whate'er a warrior's use requires

He forged; the cuirass that outshines the fires,

The greaves of ductile tin, the helm impressed

With various sculpture, and the golden crest.

At Thetis' feet the finished labour lay;

She, as a falcon, cuts the aerial way,

Swift from Olympus' snowy summit flies,

And bears the blazing present through the skies.
