Page 409 - Like leaves on trees the race of man is found, Now green in youth, now withering on the ground ; Another race the following spring supplies, They fall successive, and successive rise: So generations in their course decay, So flourish these, when those are past away.
Page 409 - With various skill, and high embroidery grac'd. In this was every art, and every charm, To win the wisest, and the coldest warm : Fond love, the gentle vow, the gay desire, The kind deceit, the still-reviving fire, Persuasive speech, and more persuasive sighs, Silence that spoke, and eloquence of eyes.

Page 540 - mid luxuriant groves : Onward they rush, and from alternate blows Dark blood through gushing wounds the earth o'erflows. Front clash'd on front their battering horns rebound, Olympus bellows, and the woods resound. The combat o'er, insatiate rage remains, The vanquish'd exile roams o'er distant plains ; Mourns o'er his shame, and each ignoble scar, That marks th' insulting victor's might in war.
