eagle o'er his aery towers,

Soothsayer: Last night the very gods show'd me a vision--

Sicilius Leonatus: He came in thunder; his celestial breath
. Was sulphurous to smell: the holy
eagle
. Stoop'd as to foot us: his ascension is
. More sweet than our blest fields: his royal bird
. Prunes the immortal wing and cloys his beak,
. As when his god is pleased.
