Page lxxxv - If you can look into the seeds of time, And say, which grain will grow, and which will not, Speak then to me, who neither beg, nor fear, Your favours, nor your hate.

Page 336 - Hauled from beneath the violated shade, And on the sacred pile the royal victim laid. His right hand held his bloody falchion bare, His left he twisted in his hoary hair ; Then, with a speeding thrust, his heart he found: The lukewarm blood came rushing through the wound, And sanguine streams distained the sacred ground.
Page 335 - Fronte sub adversa scopulis pendentibus antrum, Intus aquae dulces vivoque sedilia saxo, Nympharum domus.
