Fame far out-strips all Mischiefs in her course,

Kept under first by Fear, soon after shrouds,
Stalking or Earth, her Head amongst the Clouds.

A Prophetess inspir'd thou shalt behold
Down in a Cave, who long hath Fate foretold;
Which writ in Leaves, the Maid in order puts,
And to secure, in hollow Marble shuts.
They keep their Stations just as she design'd:
But the Door op'ning, with the smallest Wind,
The slender leaves do every way disperse.
