“Pallas in figures wrought the heavenly powers,

And Mars’s hill among the Athenian towers.

On lofty thrones twice six celestials sate,

Jove in the midst, and held their warm debate;

The subject weighty, and well known to fame,

From whom the city should receive its name.

Each god by proper features was expressed,

Jove with majestic mien excelled the rest.
