Note 17 — HYLAS AND ÆGON.
Reading edition
These four lines followed in the MS.:
With him through Libyia's burning plains I'll go, On Alpine mountains tread th' eternal snow; Yet feel no heat but what our loves impart, And dread no coldness but in Thyrsis' heart.—Warburton.
Wakefield remarks that the second line in this passage is taken from Dryden's Virg. Ecl. x. 71:
And climb the frozen Alps, and tread th' eternal snow.
