Página 423 - AWAKE, my St John ! leave all meaner things To low ambition, and the pride of kings. Let us (since life can little more supply Than just to look about us and to die) Expatiate free o'er all this scene of Man ; A mighty maze ! but not without a plan ; A wild, where weeds and flowers promiscuous shoot ; Or garden, tempting with forbidden fruit.
Página 22 - Dictus et Amphion, Thebanae conditor urbis, saxa movere sono testudinis et prece blanda 395 ducere quo vellet. Fuit haec sapientia quondam, publica privatis secernere, sacra profanis, concubitu prohibere vago, dare iura maritis, oppida moliri, leges incidere ligno ; ' " ' ' sic honor et nomen divinis vatibus atque 400 carminibus venit.
