    EPIGRAPH: Ye Sylphs and Sylphids, to your chief give ear, Fays, Fairies, Genni, Elves, and Demons, hear! Ye know the spheres, and various talks assign'd By laws eternal to th' aerial kind: Some in the fields of purest ather play, And bask, and whiten, in the blaze of day; Some guide the course of wand'ring orbs on high, Or roll the planets thro' the boundless sky: Our humbler province is to tend the Fair, Not a less pleasing, nor less glorious care.
    FROM: Rape of the Lock, (1712), Poem, UK
