155 ページ - Devoting shame and vengeance to her lords, With louder impulse and a threatening hand The 'Lesbian patriot smites the sounding chords : Ye wretches, ye perfidious train, Ye curs'd of gods and freeborn men, Ye murderers of the laws, Though now ye glory in your lust, Though now ye tread the feeble neck in dust, Yet Time and righteous Jove will judge your dreadful cause.
151 ページ - Thou once didst leave almighty Jove, And all the golden roofs above : The car thy wanton sparrows drew, Hovering in air they lightly flew ; As to my bower they wing'd their way, 1 saw their quivering pinions play.
