Страница 214 - Thy certain ruin would at once complete, Shake thy foundations and unfix thy seat: But well thy flitting plains have learn'd to yield; Thus, not contending, thou thy place hast held, Unfix'd art fix'd, and flying keep'st the field.
Страница 223 - Why seek we further then ? — Behold around, How all thou seest does with the god abound ; Jove is alike in all, and always to be found.
