Vainly the Tyrian Purple bright
III 4
Vainly the Tyrian Purple bright,
Vainly the Pearl's pellucid white,
The Tyrant Nero strove t'adorn,
Who liv'd our hatred and our Scorn;
His Choice our sacred Seats disgrac'd,
His Conduct Human Kind debased:
If such on Earth can Bliss bestow
Say what is happiness below?
Vainly the Tyrian Purple bright,

Who liv'd our hatred and our Scorn;
His Choice our sacred Seats disgrac'd,
His Conduct Human Kind debased:
If such on Earth can Bliss bestow
Say what is happiness below?
