of their theatre, and hew out of the
cliff vast columns, the lofty ornaments of the stage to be: even as bees
when summer is fresh over the flowery country ply their task beneath the
sun, when they lead forth their nation's grown brood, or when they press
the liquid honey and strain their cells with nectarous sweets, or
relieve the loaded incomers, or in banded array drive the idle herd of
drones far from their folds; they swarm over their work, and the odorous
honey smells sweet of thyme.

From rock to rock transpicuous, making known

Of cistern, at the fret-board, or of pipe,

Thus up the neck, as it were hollow, rose

Thou seest, were lowly to confess themselves
