Strona 318 - For he who fights and runs away May live to fight another day ; But he who is in battle slain Can never rise and fight again.
Strona 289 - By turns a pitchy cloud she rolls on high; By turns hot embers from her entrails fly, And flakes of mounting flames, that lick the sky. Oft from her bowels massy rocks are thrown, And, shiver'd by the force, come piecemeal down.
