Reading edition

The ancients gave the name of the terrestrial Eridanus or Po, to a constellation which has somewhat the form of a winding river. Pope copied Denham:

Heav'n her Eridanus no more shall boast, Whose fame in thine, like lesser currents lost, By nobler streams shall visit Jove's abodes, To shine amongst the stars and bathe the gods.
