Pàgina 16 - For every kind of beasts and of birds and of serpents and of things in the sea is tamed, and hath been tamed, of mankind; but the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
Pàgina 379 - Oppress'd with numbers in th' unequal field, His men discourag'd, and himself expell'd, Let him for succour sue from place to place, Torn from his subjects, and his son's embrace. First let him see his friends in battle slain, And their untimely fate lament in vain: And when at length the cruel war shall cease, On hard conditions may he buy his peace: Nor let him then enjoy supreme command ; But fall, untimely, by some hostile hand, And lie unburied on the barren sand!
Pàgina 133 - Begin the song, and strike the living lyre : Lo how the years to come, a numerous and well-fitted quire, All hand in hand do decently advance, And to my song with smooth and equal measure dance; While the dance lasts, how long soe'er it be, My musick's voice shall bear it company; Till all gentle notes be drown'd In the last trumpet's dreadful sound.
Pàgina 296 - Happy the man, who, studying nature's laws, Through known effects can trace the secret cause — His mind possessing in a quiet state, Fearless of Fortune, and resigned to Fate!
Pàgina 386 - The nurse of great ^Eneas' infancy. Here rest thy bones in rich Hesperia's plains : Thy name ('tis all a ghost can have) remains. Now, when the prince her fun'ral rites had paid, He plough'd the Tyrrhene seas with sails display 'd.
Pàgina 379 - Yet let a race untam'd, and haughty foes, His peaceful entrance with dire arms oppose: Oppress'd with numbers in th' unequal field, His men discourag'd, and himself expell'd, Let him for succour sue from place to place, Torn from his subjects, and his son's embrace. First let him see his friends in battle slain, And their untimely fate lament in vain: And when, at length, the cruel war shall cease, On hard conditions may he...
Pàgina 387 - Shouts of applause ran ringing through the field, To see the son the vanquished father shield. All, fir'd with gen'rous indignation, strive, And, with a storm of darts, to distance drive The Trojan chief, who, held at bay from far, On his Vulcanian orb sustain'd the war. As, when thick hail comes ratt'ling in the wind, The...
Pàgina 457 - Obscure they went through dreary shades, that led Along the waste dominions of the dead.
Pàgina 450 - Or, stript for wrestling, smears his limbs with oil, And watches, with a trip his foe to foil. Such was the life the frugal Sabines led: So Remus and his brother god were bred, From whom th' austere Etrurian virtue rose; And this rude life our homely fathers chose.
Pàgina 403 - Of graceless guests, th' unhappy field subdue; And oats unblest, and darnel domineers, And shoots its head above the shining ears; So that, unless the land with daily care Is exercis'd, and, with an iron war Of rakes and harrows, the proud foes expell'd, And birds with clamours frighted from the field; Unless the boughs are lopp'd that shade the plain, And...
