HYM N ΤΟ ADVERSITY. Ζήνα Τὸν φρονεῖν βροτὰς ὁδώ σαλα, τῷ πάθει μαθὼν Θέλα κυρίως ἔχειν. ESCHYLUS, in Agamemnone. Bound in thy adamantine chain The Proud are taught to tafte of pain, And purple Tyrants vainly groan With pangs unfelt before, unpitied and alone, When first thy Sire to fend on earth Virtue, his darling Child, defign'd, To thee he gave the heav'nly Birth, And bade to form her infant mind. Stern rugged Nurfe; thy rigid lore With patience many a year fhe bore: What forrow was, thou bad'ft her know, And from her own fhe learn'd to melt at others woe. Scar'd |
