Strona 573 - Within a long recess there lies a bay : An island shades it from the rolling sea, And forms a port secure for ships to ride : Broke by the jutting land, on either side, In double streams the briny waters glide, Betwixt two rows of rocks : a sylvan scene Appears above, and groves for ever green : A grot is formed beneath, with mossy seats, To rest the Nereids, and exclude the heats.
Strona 440 - Hey, diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle, The cow jumped over the moon. The little dog laughed to see such sport, And the dish ran away with the spoon!
Strona 578 - And sumptuous feasts are made in splendid halls: On Tyrian carpets, richly wrought, they dine; With loads of massy plate the sideboards shine, And antique vases, all of gold emboss'd (The gold itself inferior to the cost), Of curious work, where on the sides were seen The fights and figures of illustrious men, From their first founder to the present queen. The good ^Eneas, whose paternal care lulus...
Strona 576 - As exercise the bees in flowery plains, When winter past, and summer scarce begun, Invites them forth to labour in the sun ; Some lead their youth abroad, while some condense Their liquid store, and some in cells dispense ; Some at the gate stand ready to receive The golden burden, and their friends relieve ; Ally with united force, combine to drive The lazy drones from the laborious hive.
Strona 579 - The attendants water for their hands supply; And having washed, with silken towels dry. Next fifty handmaids in long order bore The censers, and with fumes the Gods adore. Then youths, and virgins twice as many, join To place the dishes, and to serve the wine. The Tyrian train, admitted to the feast, Approach, and on the painted couches rest. All on the Trojan gifts with wonder gaze...
Strona 576 - As exercise the bees in flow'ry plains; When winter past, and summer scarce begun, Invites them forth to labour in the sun. Some lead their youth abroad, while some condense Their liquid store, and some in cells dispense. Some at the gate stand ready to receive The golden burden, and their friends relieve. All with united force combine to drive The lazy drones from the laborious hive; With envy stung, they view each other's deeds; The fragrant work with diligence proceeds. "Thrice happy you, whose...
Strona 579 - His bow and quiver, and his plumy pride : He walks lulus in his mother's sight, And in the sweet resemblance takes delight. The goddess then to young Ascanius flies, And in a pleasing slumber seals his eyes.
Strona 573 - Within a long recess there lies a bay, An island shades it from the rolling sea, And forms a port secure for ships to ride, Broke by the jutting land on either side: In double streams the briny waters glide. Betwixt two rows of rocks, a sylvan scene Appears above, and groves for ever green: A grot is form'd beneath, with mossy seats, To rest the Nereids, and exclude the heats: Down through the crannies of the living walls The crystal streams descend in murm'ring falls. No haulsers need to bind the...
Strona 577 - When in the dance the graceful goddess leads The choir of nymphs, and overtops their heads. Known by her quiver, and her lofty mien, She walks majestic, and she looks their queen : Latona sees her shine above the rest, And feeds with secret joy her silent breast. Such Dido was ; with such becoming state, Amidst the crowd she walks serenely great. Their labour to her future sway she speeds, And passing with a gracious glance proceeds, Then mounts the throne, high placed before the shrine ; In crowds...
Strona 578 - The Trojan chief appear'd in open sight, August in visage, and serenely bright. His mother goddess, with her hands divine, Had form'd his curling locks, and made his temples shine, And giv'n his rolling eyes a sparkling grace, And breath'da youthful vigour on his face; Like polish'd iv'ry, beauteous to behold, Or Parian marble, when enchas'd in gold.
