Pàgina 54 - Presume thy bolts to throw, And deal damnation round the land On each I judge thy foe. If I am right, thy grace impart, Still in the right to stay; If I am wrong, oh teach my heart To find that better way...
Pàgina 59 - Thais led the way, To light him to his prey, And, like another Helen, fir'd another Troy. Thus, long ago, (Ere heaving bellows learn'd to blow, — While organs yet were mute) Timotheus, to his breathing flute And sounding lyre, Could swell the soul to rage, or kindle soft desire.

Let old Timotheus yield the prize, Or both divide the crown ; He raised a mortal to the skies ; She drew an angel down.
Pàgina 57 - Bacchus' blessings are a treasure, Drinking is the soldier's pleasure ; Rich the treasure, Sweet the pleasure ; Sweet is pleasure after pain. Soothed with the sound, the king grew vain ; Fought all his battles o'er again ; And thrice he routed all his foes, and thrice he slew the slain.
