Finding herself more unhappy than before, she now begged of Jupiter to...
Pàgina 111 - Art demanded; show'd him how to raise His feeble force by the mechanic powers, To dig the mineral from the vaulted earth, On what to turn the piercing rage of fire, On what the torrent, and the...
Pàgina 59 - The horse, snorting somewhat disdainfully, replied, " It is true you inhabit three elements, but you make no very distinguished figure in any one of them. You fly, indeed ; but your flight is so heavy and clumsy, that you have no right to put yourself on a level with the lark or the swallow. You can swim on the surface of the waters, but you cannot live in them as fishes do; you cannot find your food in that element, nor glide smoothly along the bottom of the waves. And when you walk, or rather waddle,...
