Reading edition

Between verse 330 and 331, originally stood these lines;

From shore to shore exulting shouts he heard, O'er all his banks a lambent light appeared, With sparkling flames heav'n's glowing concave shone, Fictitious stars, and glories not her own. He saw, and gently rose above the stream His shining horns diffused a golden gleam: With pearl and gold his tow'ry front was drest, The tributes of the distant East and West.—Pope.
