F armies on the chequer'd field array'd, And guiltless war in pleasing form display'd; When two bold kings contend with vain alarms, In ivory this, and that in ebon arms; Sing, sportive maids, that haunt the sacred hill Of Pindus, and the fam'd Pierian rill. Thou, joy of all below, and all above, Mild Venus, queen of laughter, queen of love;
