Venus in Eclipse

On VENUS seen in the Solar Eclipse 1715.
Translated from a Latin Epigram, p.272.

VEnus dallying with Mars, as goes the old story,
Requested the Sun to abandon his glory;
'Tis done, but, fair goddess, you're never the nearer;
Where next will you hide, when the shade shews you clearer?
G. S
By George Smith.
