Página 115 - When, to avert his doom, His mother in the earth refused to lie ; Nor would his ancient father die To save his son from an untimely tomb ; Though the hand of time had spread Hoar hairs o'er each aged head ; In youth's fresh bloom, in beauty's radiant glow, The darksome way thou daredst to go. And for thy youthful lord's to give thy life. Be mine so true a wife, Though rare the lot : then should I prove...

His reputation was now so illustrious, that Archelaus, king of Macedonia, invited him to his court : this monarch to his many royal virtues added a fondness for literature and the muses, and had drawn to him from Greece many who excelled in the polite arts, particularly those who were eminent for their learning, philosophers...
Página 146 - ... with their lords Suffer in their afflictions, and their hearts Are touch'd with social sorrow; and my griefs Swell, for Medea's sufferings, to such height, That strong desire impell'd me to come forth, And tell them to the earth and to the skies.

Página 40 - Hath been my charge, shall be with laurel boughs And sacred wreaths to cleanse the vestibule Of Phoebus, on the pavement moistening dews To rain, and with my bow to chase the birds Which would defile the hallow'd ornaments.

Had I the voice of Orpheus, and his skill Of power to soothe with my melodious strains The daughter of bright Ceres, or her husband, That from their realms I might receive thee back, I would go down ; nor should th' infernal dog, Nor the stern Charon, sitting at his oar To waft the dead, restrain me, till thy life I had restored to the fair light of day.

But should he choose to wed again, Mine and thy children's hearts would hold him in disdain.
