’So march’d the Thracian Amazons of old
  When Thermedon with bloody billows roll’d;
  Such troops as these in shining arms were seen,
  When Theseus met in fight their maiden queen;
  Such to the field Penthesilea led,
  From the fierce virgin when the Grecians fled. 
  With such return’d triumphant from the war,
  Her maids with cries attend the lofty car;
  They clash with manly force their moony shields;
  With female shouts resound the Phrygian fields.’
