Side 126 - Je le vis, je rougis, je pâlis à sa vue; Un trouble s'éleva dans mon âme éperdue; Mes yeux ne voyaient plus, je ne pouvais parler; Je sentis tout mon corps et transir et brûler.
Side 143 - O mother Ida, many-fountain'd Ida, Dear mother Ida, harken ere I die. For now the noonday quiet holds the hill : The grasshopper is silent in the grass : The lizard, with his shadow on the stone, Rests like a shadow, and the cicala sleeps.
Side 124 - Apollo prodigia indomitis merge sub aequoribus, so et succensa sacris crepitet bene laurea flammis omine quo felix et sacer annus erit.
Side 192 - And bared the knotted column of his throat, The massive square of his heroic breast, And arms on which the standing muscle sloped, As slopes a wild brook o'er a little stone, Running too vehemently to break upon it.
Side 161 - To roll the torrent out of dusky doors: But follow ; let the torrent dance thee down To find him in the valley; let the wild Lean-headed Eagles yelp alone, and leave The monstrous ledges there to slope, and spill Their thousand wreaths of dangling water-smoke, That like a broken purpose waste in air: So waste not thou; but come; for all the vales Await...

Side 157 - Adsiduo domitas tempore fallit odor. Nominibus mollire licet mala : fusca vocetur, Nigrior Illyrica cui pice sanguis erit : Si paeta est, Veneris similis : si flava, Minervae : Sit gracilis, macie quae male viva sua est ; 660 Die habilem, quaecumque brevis, quae turgida, plenam, Et lateat vitium proximitate boni.
Side 164 - Errorem blandis tardat imaginibus. Tandem haurire parat demissis flumina palmis Innixus dextro plena trahens humero : Cuius ut accensae Dryades candore puellae Miratae solitos destituere choros, Prolapsum leviter facili traxere liquore: Тшп sonitum rapto corpore fecit Hylas.
