With liquid odours, and embroider’d vests.

Your other task, ye menial train, forbear:
Now wash the stranger, and the bed prepare;
With splendid palls the downy fleece adorn;
Up rising early with the purple morn,
His sinews shrunk with age, and stiff with toil,
In the warm bath foment with fragrant oil.

A cruise of fragrance, form’d of burnish’d gold;
Odour divine! whose soft refreshing streams
Sleek the smooth skin, and scent the snowy limbs.
