Страница 7 - I be brought to think otherwise than that the language he writes in is as pure Roman as any that was writ in Nero's time. As he grew up, his parents educated him with a care that became a promising genius and the rank of his family. His masters were Rhemmius...
Страница 142 - Massilians, from th' encompass'd wall, Rejoiced to see the sylvan honours fall : They hope such power can never prosper long, Nor think the patient gods will bear the wrong. The...
Страница 37 - Tenth was not only learned himself, but a great patron of learning, and used to be present at the conversations and performances of all the polite writers of his time. The wits of Rome entertained him one day, at his villa on the banks of the Tiber, with an interlude in the nature of a poetical masquerade. They had their Parnassus...
Страница 270 - Where the moist carcass by degrees shall waste, There greedily on every part she flies, Strips the dry nails, and digs the gory eyes. Her teeth from gibbets gnaw the strangling noose, And from the cross dead murderers unloose : Her...
