And a carv'd foot-stool, he Minerva plac'd.
There 'gainst a column sets her lance, where stood
Ulysses' javelins, planted like a wood.”

Book I. Compare Pope's translation:
: The spear receiving from her hand, he plac'd
Against a column, fair with sculpture grac'd;

Ulysses' arms, now long disus'd to blood.

“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.

But the Door op'ning, with the smallest Wind,
The slender leaves do every way disperse.”
