The wretched father, running to their aid With pious haste, but vain, they next invade ; Twice round his waist their winding volumes roll'd ; And twice about his gasping throat they fold. The priest thus doubly choked — their crests divide, And towering o'er his head in triumph ride.
Page 44 - ... ac veluti magno in populo cum saepe coorta est seditio, saevitque animis ignobile volgus, iamque faces et saxa volant, furor arma ministrat; 100 tum pietate gravem ac meritis si forte virum quem conspexere, silent arrectisque auribus adstant; ille regit dictis animos, et pectora mulcet...
Page 178 - Oppress'd with numbers in th' unequal field, His men discourag'd, and himself expell'd, Let him for succor sue from place to place, Torn from his subjects, and his son's embrace.

They reach'd the mark. Proud Gyas and his train In triumph rode, the victors of the main : But, steering round, he charg'd his pilot — •" Stand More close to shore, and skim along the sand ! Let others bear to sea.

Page 200 - The crowd withdrawn, an open plain appears. And now the noble youths, of form divine, Advance before their fathers, in a line : The riders grace the steeds ; the steeds with glory shine. Thus marching on in military pride, Shouts of applause resound from side to side.
