Seite 72 - Wind, gentle evergreen, to form a shade Around the tomb where Sophocles is laid ; Sweet ivy wind thy boughs, and intertwine With blushing roses and the clustering vine : Thus will thy lasting leaves with beauties hung, Prove grateful emblems of the lays he sung ; Whose soul, exalted like a god of wit, Among the Muses and the Graces writ.

Seite 439 - Milesian ladies, who, when their city was invaded by the Gauls, escaped by self-destruction from the insults offered to them ; the translation by Merivale : — " Then let us hence, Miletus dear ; sweet native land, farewell ; Th' insulting wrongs of lawless Gauls we fear, whilst here we dwell. Three virgins of Milesian race, to this dire fate compell'd By Celtic Mars — yet glad we die, that we have ne'er beheld 'Spousals of blood, nor sunk to be vile handmaids to our foes, But rather owe our thanks...
Seite 266 - SEEK not to glad these senseless stones With fragrant ointments, rosy wreaths ; No warmth can reach our mouldering bones From lustral fire, that vainly breathes. Now let me revel whilst I may: The wine, that o'er my grave is shed, Mixes with earth, and turns to clay — No honours can delight the dead.
Seite 148 - WITH courage seek the kingdom of the dead; The path before you lies, It is not hard to find, nor tread; No rocks to climb, no lanes to thread; But broad, and straight, and even still, And ever gently slopes down-hill; You cannot miss it, though you shut your eyes.
Seite 126 - Never in anger with the meaner sort Be mov'd to a contemptuous harsh retort, Deriding their distresses ; nor despise In hasty speech their wants and miseries. Jove holds the balance, and the gods dispense For all mankind riches and indigence. Among the...
