الصفحة 257 - And snatches from their mouths th' untasted meat, Which if they touch, her hissing snakes she rears, Tossing her torch, and thund'ring in their ears. Then they, who brothers' better claim disown, Expel their parents, and usurp the throne; Defraud their clients, and, to lucre sold, Sit brooding on unprofitable gold; Who dare not give, and e'en refuse to lend To their poor kindred, or a wanting friend.
الصفحة 303 - Troy.' She said ; and straight, her arms of snowy hue About her unresolving husband threw. Her soft embraces soon infuse desire ; His bones and marrow sudden warmth inspire ; And all the godhead feels the wonted fire. Not half so swift the rattling thunder flies, Or forky lightnings flash along the skies. The goddess, proud of her successful wiles, A^nd conscious of her form, in secret smiles.
الصفحة 132 - Then banish'd faith shall once again return, And vestal fires in hallow'd temples burn, And Remus with Quirinus shall sustain The righteous laws, and fraud and force restrain.
