Thus Macareus — Now with a pious aim Had good -ffineas rais'da funeral' flame, In honour of his hoary nurfe's name.

Страница 143 - Or form the pliant souls of plants so well; Or to the fruit more gen'rous flavours lend, Or teach the trees with nobler loads to bend. The nymph frequented not the...
Страница 212 - Tis the dessert that graces all the feast, For an ill end disparages the rest : A thousand things well done, and one forgot, Defaces obligation by that blot.
