BOOK VI

Neptune, returned from his Ethiopian revels, sees with rage the events which have taken place in Europe.

He flies to the cave of Alecto, and drags out the fiend, commanding her to excite universal hostility against Napoleon.

The Fury repairs to Lord Castlereagh; and, as, when she visited Turnus, she assumed the form of an old woman, she here appears in the kindred shape of Mr Vansittart, and in an impassioned address exhorts his lordship to war.

His lordship, like Turnus, treats this unwonted monitor with great disrespect, tells him that he is an old doting fool, and advises him to look after the ways and means, and leave questions of peace and war to his betters.

The Fury then displays all her terrors.
