Halaman 151 - All with united force combine to drive The lazy drones from the laborious hive; With envy stung, they view each other's deeds; The fragrant work with diligence proceeds. "Thrice happy you, whose walls already rise...
Halaman 273 - The striving artists, and their arts' renown ; He saw, in order painted on the wall, Whatever did unhappy Troy befall": The wars that fame around the world had blown, All to the life, and ev'ry leader known.
Halaman 86 - Nor is the profit small, the peasant makes, Who smooths with harrows, or who pounds with rakes, The crumbling clods : nor Ceres, from on high, Regards his labours with a grudging eye ; Nor his, who ploughs across the furrow'd grounds, And on the back of earth inflicts new wounds ; For he, with frequent exercise, commands Th' unwilling soil, and tames the stubborn lands.

Halaman 123 - Or, stript for wrestling, smears his limbs with oil, And watches with a trip his foe to foil. Such was the life the frugal Sabines led; So Remus and his brother god were bred: From whom th' austere Etrurian virtue rose, And this rude life our homely fathers chose.
Halaman 185 - Caesar, thus injured, and unable to resist the faction of the nobles which was now uppermost, (for he was a Marian,) had recourse to arms ; and his cause was just against Pompey, but not against his country, whose constitution ought to have been sacred to him, and never to have been violated on the account of any private wrong. But he prevailed ; and, heaven declaring for him, he became a providential monarch, under the title of perpetual dictator.
