Sayfa 138 - Fates have firm'd, by their decree, The Trojan race to reign in Italy; At least I can defer the nuptial day, And with protracted wars the peace delay: With blood the dear alliance shall be bought, And both the people near destruction brought; So shall the son-in-law and father join, With ruin, war, and waste of either line.
Sayfa 209 - Phoebus' name, To keep from fight the youth too fond of fame. Undaunted, they themselves no danger shun : From wall to wall the shouts and clamours run : They bend their bows ; they whirl their slings around : Heaps of spent arrows fall, and strew the ground ; And helms, and shields, and rattling arms, resound. The combat thickens, like the storm that flies From westward, when the...
Sayfa 55 - Oppress'd with numbers in th' unequal field, His men discourag'd, and himself expell'd, Let him for succour sue from place to place, Torn from his subjects, and his son's embrace. First let him see his friends in battle slain, And their untimely fate lament in vain: And when, at length, the cruel war shall cease, On hard conditions may he buy his peace: Nor let him then enjoy supreme command; But fall, untimely, by some hostile hand, And lie unbury'd on the barren sand!
Sayfa 40 - His flying feet, and mounts the western winds : And, whether o'er the seas or earth he flies, With rapid force they bear him down the skies. But first he grasps within his awful hand. The mark of...
Sayfa 117 - He said : and falling tears his face bedew : Then thrice around his neck his arms he threw ; 950 And thrice the flitting shadow slipp'd away, Like winds, or empty dreams that fly the day.
Sayfa 173 - He said. They set their former work aside, And their new toils with eager haste divide. A flood of molten silver, brass, and gold, And deadly steel, in the large furnace roll'd; Of this, their artful hands a shield prepare, Alone sufficient to sustain the war.
Sayfa 40 - Thund'rer heard, Then cast his eyes on Carthage, where he found The lustful pair in lawless pleasure drown'd, Lost in their loves, insensible of shame, And both forgetful of their better fame.
Sayfa 285 - A gathering mist o'erclouds her cheerful eyes, And from her cheeks the rosy colour flies, Then turns to her, whom, of her female train, She trusted most, and thus she speaks with pain : " Acca, 'tis past ! he swims before my sight, Inexorable Death ; and claims his right. Bear my last words to Turnus ; fly with speed, And bid him timely to my charge succeed : Repel the Trojans, and the town relieve : Farewell .
Sayfa 123 - Let others better mould the running mass Of metals, and inform the breathing brass, And soften into flesh, a marble face ; Plead better at the bar ; describe the skies, And when the stars descend, and when they rise. But Rome ! 'tis thine alone, with awful sway, To rule mankind, and make the world obey. Disposing peace and war, thy own majestic way : To tame the proud, the fetter'd slave to free: — These are imperial arts and worthy thee.
Sayfa 196 - Unharness'd chariots stand along the shore : Amidst the wheels and reins, the goblet by, A medley of debauch and war, they lie. Observing Nisus show'd his friend the sight : " Behold a conquest gain'd without a fight.
