Page 124 - Aeneadum genetrix, hominum divomque voluptas, alma Venus, caeli subter labentia signa quae mare navigerum, quae terras frugiferentis concelebras, per te quoniam genus omne animantum concipitur visitque exortum lumina solis.
Page 122 - Words are not so easily coined as money; and yet we see that the credit not only of banks but of exchequers cracks, when little comes in, and much goes out. Virgil called upon me in every line for some new word: and I paid so long, that I was almost bankrupt; so that the latter end must needs be more burdensome than the beginning or the middle; and, consequently, the Twelfth Aeneid cost me double the time of the First and Second. What had become of me, if Virgil had taxed me with another book?
Page 116 - Amor docuit natorum sanguine matrem commaculare manus ; crudelis tu quoque, mater : crudelis mater magis, an puer improbus ille? improbus ille puer; crudelis tu quoque, mater.
Page 64 - Edomuit, Scotumque vago mucrone secutus, Fregit Hyperboreas remis audacibus undas, Et geminis fulgens utroque sub axe tropaeis Tethyos alternae refluas calcavit arenas.
Page 53 - ... luditur in morem, species nee dissona coetu aut peregrina nitet simulati iuris imago, indigenas habitus nativa palatia sumunt, et, patriis plebem castris sociante Quirino, Mars augusta sui renovat suffragia campi.
Page 129 - Florido mihi ponitur picta vere corolla, primitus tenera virens spica mollis arista, luteae violae mihi lacteumque papaver pallentesque cucurbitae et suave olentia mala, uva pampinea rubens educata sub umbra. Sanguine haec etiam mihi (sed tscebitis) arma barbatus linit hirculus cornipesque capella.
Page 122 - I found the difficulty of translation growing on me in every succeeding book: for Virgil, above all poets, had a stock, which I may call almost inexhaustible, of figurative, elegant, and sounding words. I, who inherit but a small portion of his genius, and write in a language so much inferior to the Latin, have found it very painful to vary phrases, when the same sense returns upon me. Even he himself, whether out of necessity or choice, has...
Page 66 - Oceanus vicino litore gemmas Exspuit : effossis nec pallidus Astur oberrat Montibus; oblatum sacris natalibus aurum Vulgo vena vomit; pyrenaeisque sub autris Ignea flumineae legere Ceraunia nymphae : Quaeque relabentes undas aestumque secutae In refluos venere palam Nereides amnes ; Confessae plausu dominam , cecinere futuris Auspicium thalamis.
Page 82 - Honorius, formerly accustomed to the protection of his mother, becomes more ferocious and develops a wish to join his father, in order to gorge on the carcass of a bull. This unattractive simile does reveal that Honorius wants to follow his father to war. The poet obviously moderates his praise of...
