There view'd the Pleiads, and the northern team, And great Orion's more refulgent beam, To which, around the axle of the sky The Bear revolving, points his golden eye: "Who shines exalted on the' etherial plain, Nor bathes his blazing forehead in the main.
עמוד 115 - To woe! Did ever sorrows equal mine ? Long to my joys my dearest lord is lost, His country's buckler, and the Grecian boast: Now from my fond embrace, by tempests torn, Our other column of the state is borne: Nor took a kind adieu, nor sought consent!—

But there remain, ye guilty, in my power, Till Jove refunds his shameless daughter's dower. Too dear I prized a fair enchanting face: Beauty unchaste is beauty in disgrace.' Meanwhile the gods the dome of Vulcan
עמוד 171 - these pastimes grace! I wield the gauntlet, and I run the race. In such heroic games I yield to none, Or yield to brave Laodamas alone: Shall I with brave Laodamas contend? A friend is sacred, and I style him friend. Ungenerous were the man, and base of heart, Who takes the kind, and pays
עמוד 135 - pass'd, Since wide he wander'd on the watery waste; Heaved on the surge with intermitting breath, And hourly panting in the arms of death: The third fair morn now blazed upon the main; Then glassy smooth lay all the liquid plain, The winds were hush'd, the billows scarcely curl'd, And a
עמוד 240 - rest my nature craves, Here in the court, or yonder on the waves: In you I trust, and in the heavenly powers, To land Ulysses on his native shores.' He ceased; but left so charming on their ear His voice, that listening still they seem'd to hear. Till rising up, Arete silence broke,
עמוד 214 - to hear what sadly he relates. " We went, Ulysses! (such was thy command) Through the lone thicket, and the desert land. A palace in a woody vale we found Brown with dark forests, and with shades around. A voice celestial echoed from the dome, Or nymph, or goddess, chanting to the loom.
