Who (Troy b'ing sack'd) coasting the Universe,
Saw many Cities, and their various Modes;

But all in vain, for he his Navy lost,
And they their Lives, prophanely feasting on
Herds consecrated to the glorious Sun;
Who much incens'd obstructed so their way,
They ne'er return'd: Jove's Daughter this display.”
