Pagina 339 - The unhappy captives, marching in the rear, Appointed offerings in the victor's name, To sprinkle with their blood the funeral flame.
Pagina 511 - When Jupiter descends in harden'd rain, Or bellowing clouds burst with a stormy sound, And with an armed winter strew the ground.
Pagina 227 - Leaving the old, both worlds at once they view, Who stand upon the threshold of the new.
