الصفحة 173 - Instructed from above, My lover I shall gain, or lose my love. Nigh rising Atlas, next the falling sun, Long tracts of Ethiopian climates run : There a Massylian priestess I have found, Honor'd for age, for magic arts renown'd : Th' Hesperian temple was her trusted care ; 'Twas she supplied the wakeful dragon's fare.
الصفحة 162 - Then first the trembling earth the signal gave ; And flashing fires enlighten all the cave : Hell from below, and Juno from above, And howling nymphs, were conscious to their love. From this ill-omen'd hour, in time arose Debate and death, and all succeeding woes.
الصفحة 81 - Within a long recess there lies a bay: An island shades it from the rolling sea, And forms a port secure for ships to ride: Broke by the jutting land, on either side, In double streams the briny waters glide...
