107 ページ - While he from high his rolling thunder throws, And fires the mountains with repeated blows : The rocks are from their old foundations rent ; The winds redouble, and the rains augment : The waves on heaps are dash'd against the shore ; And now the woods, and now the billows, roar.
183 ページ - All, with united force, combine to drive The lazy drones from the laborious hive: With envy stung, they view each other's deeds: With diligence the fragrant work proceeds. As, when the Cyclops, at th...
27 ページ - While dusky hyacinths for use remain. My passion is thy scorn ; nor wilt thou know What wealth I have, what gifts I can bestow ; What stores my dairies and my folds contain...
279 ページ - His words are not only chosen, but the places in which he ranks them for the sound. He who removes them from the station wherein their master set them spoils the harmony. What he says of the Sibyl's prophecies may be as properly applied to every word of his: they must be read in order as they lie; the least breath discomposes them and somewhat of their divinity is lost.
215 ページ - AEneas would appear ridiculous in our dwarf-heroes of the theatre. We can believe they routed armies in Homer or in Virgil, but ne Hercules contra duos in the drama. I forbear to instance in many things which the stage cannot or ought not to...

The Romans founded theirs upon the Greek: and the Greeks, we know, were...
252 ページ - It seems, he feared not Jupiter so much as Dido. For your Lordship may observe, that as much intent as he was upon his voyage, yet he still delayed it, till the messenger was obliged to tell him plainly, that if he weighed not anchor in the night, the queen would be with him in the morning ; notumque furens quid femina possit : she was injured, she was revengeful, she was powerful.
139 ページ - And shady groves that easy sleep invite, And, after toilsome days, a soft repose at night. * Wild beasts of nature in his woods abound ; And youth, of labour patient, plough the ground, Inur'd to hardship, and to homely fare. Nor venerable age is wanting, there, In great examples to the youthful train ; Nor are the gods ador'd with rites profane.
