The guarded Gold: So eagerly the Fiend O'er Bog, or Steep, thro' ftrait, rough, denfe, or rare, Of stunning Sounds, and Voices all confus'd, With loudeft Vehemence. When ftrait behold the (Throne Wide on the wasteful Deep: with him Enthron'd Sate fable-vefted Night, eldest of Things, The Confort of his Reign: and by them stood Orchus and Ades, and the dreaded Name Of Demogorgon: Rumour next, and Chance, And Tumult, and Confufion all embroil'd, And Difcord, with a thousand various Mouths. Satan thence Springs upward like a Pyramid of Fire, Into the wild Expanfe: and thro' the Shock At laft the facred Influence Of Light appears, and from the Walls of Heav'n A glimm❜ring Dawn: Here Nature first begins Gladly the Port, tho' Shrowds and Tackle torn. Milt. CHARIC LEA. And now let Chariclea's Birth be fung, The glowing Fetus; in the Royal Room Painted with Snowy Brow, and comely Mien. From whence a Birth of unknown Whiteness came, CHARIOT. Bold Ericthonius was the firft that joyn'd Four Horfes for the rapid Race defign'd, And o'er the dufty Wheels prefiding fate: The Lapithe to Chariots add the State Rowe's Call. Of Bits and Bridles; taught the Steed to bound, Haft thou beheld when from the Goal they part; CHARITY. She was a Woman in her fresheft Age, That aye thereof her Babes might fuck their fill ; The reft was all in yellow Robes arraied still. A Multitude of Babes about her hang, Plying their Sports, that joy'd her to behold, Whom still she fed, whilst they were weak and young, But thruft them forth ftill, as they wexed old : And on her Head fhe wore a Tire of Gold, Adorn'd with Gemmes and Owches wondrous fair, Whoes paffing Price uneath was to be told; And by her Side there fate a gentle Pair Of Turtle Doves, fhe fitting in an Ivory Chaire. CHAR O N. Upon the gloomy Ranks of Acheron, [Spen Whose troubled Eddies, thick with Ooze and Clay, Old Charon ftands, who rules the dreary Coast. A Length of Beard defcends, uncomb'd, unclean : A Girdle foul with Grease, binds his obfcene Attire. CHAST WOMAN. The third a Damzell was of lowe Degree, Whome I in Country Cottage found by chance; Full Full weened I, that Chastitie Had Lodging in fo mean a Maintenance : That Chaftitie did for it felf embrace, But were for other Caufes firme and found; Either for want of handsome Time and Place, Or elfe for fear of Shame and foule Difgrace... But all my daies am like to waft in vaine Seeking to match the chaft with th' unchafte Ladies (Trane. Spen. CHEARFULNESS. And her againft, fweet Cheerfulness was placed, Whoes Eyes like twinkling Stars in Evening cleare, Were deckt with Smiles, that all fad humours chaced, And darted forth Delights,the which her goodly graced. CHEAT. [Spenfer. For the dull World moft Honour pay to thofe, Garth. CHILD. Like as a wayward Child, whoes founder fleep. Is broken with fome fearful Dreames affright, With forward Ill doth fet him felf to weep; Ne can be ftil'd for all his Nurfes might, But kicks, and fquals, and fhriekes for fell defpight: Now fcratching her, and her loofe Locks mifufing; Now feeking Darkness, and now seeking Light; Then craving Suck, and then the Suck refufing. CHIRO N. [Spen. When Phillyra had fir'd old Saturn's Blood, And his chill'd Veins fwell'd with a warmer Flood: A fecond Youth return'd; th' impatient Sire Goaded with Luft, and raving with defire, For the bright Virgin spreads each subtle Snare; Tries ev'ry Art to win the tender Fair : Her, with the blue-ey'd Nereids in her Train, By chance difporting on her native Plain, The Heav'nly Lecher feiz'd, and bore away, To lonesome, fhady Groves, the beauteous Prey. What Sighs! What Groans the fent! What Tears fhe For her Fame loft, and spotlefs Honour fled; (fhed, With piercing Shrieks the mov'd the neighb'ring Shore, And ecchoing Rocks around were heard to roar : While with unequal Strength the Nymph withstood The rank Embraces of the shaggy God. But the Great Mother with resentment faw The faithlefs Breach of Matrimonial-Law; And from above defcended to destroy Th' adult'rous Kiffes, and dishonest Joy. The Goatifh God his jealous Wife to 'scape, Dropp'd his own Form; and in a Horfe's Shape, With fearful Voice thro' the thick Forest neigh'd: While to fad Plaints, beneath some Poplar Shade, Refign'd the hapless and deferted Maid. * Cybele.
