And bright as flame their glittering armour gleam'd.

The parted ocean whitening foams below.

As some fair dame, when Cynthia rises bright,
Beholds the beamy splendours with delight,
Which from her vestment strong-reflected rise;
Thus gloried Jason in the glistering prize.
The flaming rays, that from its surface flow'd,
Beam'd on his cheeks, and on his forehead glow'd.

And raise in seemly form the hallow'd mound.

The maid admiring, languish'd with delight.
Thus when the rising sun appears in view,
On the fair rose dissolves the radiant dew.

Apollonius of Rhodes

A hideous dragon of enormous size
Turns all around his circumspective eyes:
O'er the bright spoil the strictest watch he keeps;
He never slumbers, and he never sleeps.
