الصفحة 281 - ... verum ubi plura nitent in carmine, non ego paucis offendar maculis, quas aut incuria fudit aut humana parum cavit natura.
الصفحة 107 - 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.
الصفحة 183 - 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...
الصفحة 27 - 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...

الصفحة 294 - He studies brevity more than any other poet : but he had the advantage of a language wherein much may be comprehended in a little space. We, and all the modern tongues, have more articles and pronouns, besides signs of tenses and cases, and other barbarities on which our speech is built by the faults of our forefathers. The Romans founded theirs upon the Greek: and the Greeks, we know, were...
الصفحة 252 - 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.
الصفحة 139 - 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.
