With silken streamers the young Phebus fanning, And in them beheld, Upon the hempen tackle, ship-boys climbing; Heard the shrill whistle, which did order give, To sounds confus'd. Beheld the threaden sails, Borne with the invisible and creeping wind, Draw the huge bottoms through the furrowed sea, Breasting the lofty surge. Who stood upon the rivage and beheld A city as the inconstant billows dancing, For so appeared the fleet majestical.
