Pagina 462 - A HISTORY OF GREEK LITERATURE. From the Earliest Period to the Death of Demosthenes. BY FRANK BYRON JEVONS, MA, Tutor in the University of Durham.
Pagina 274 - Of the events of the war I have not ventured to speak from any chance information, nor according to any notion of my own ; I have described nothing but what I either saw myself, or learned from others of whom I made the most careful and particular inquiry.
Pagina 100 - Twas this deprived my soul of rest, And rais'd such tumults in my breast ; For while I gaz'd, in transport tost, My breath was gone, my voice was lost : My bosom glow'd ; the subtle flame Ran quick through all my vital frame ; O'er my dim eyes a darkness hung ; My ears with hollow murmurs rung.
Pagina 47 - Jove ; Fearfully heaven was shaken, and did move Beneath the might of the Cerulean-eyed; Earth dreadfully resounded, far and wide ; And, lifted from its depths, the sea swelled high In purple billows ; the tide suddenly Stood still, and great Hyperion's son long time Checked his swift steeds, till where she stood sublime, Pallas from her immortal shoulders threw The arms divine ; wise Jove rejoiced to view. Child of the ^Egis-bearer, hail to thee ! Nor thine nor others' praise shall unremembered...

Is his the goat? to thee shall fall the kid; And toothsome is the flesh of unmilked kids. GOATHERD SHEPHERD, thy lay is as the noise of streams Falling and falling aye from yon tall crag.
