And thence the living images pursue.

(Francis)

336 Hor.

2 Ep. i. 80.

imitated One tragic sentence if I dare deride,

Which Betterton's grave action dignified,

Or well-mouth'd Booth with emphasis proclaims

(Tho' but, perhaps, a muster-roll of names),

How will our fathers rise up in a rage,

And swear, all shame is lost in George's age!

You'd think no fools disgraced the former reign,

Did not some grave examples yet remain,

Who scorn a lad should teach his father skill,

And, having once been wrong, will be so still.

Shut from the bounded earth the bounding seas,

The earth and ocean various forms disclose,

And a new sun to the new world arose.

Conscious of thought, of more capacious breast,

Such horrid licence to the barb'rous sword!

Provoke approaching fate, and bravely scorn

To spare that life which must so soon return.

Sat. vi. 168 heir signal virtues hardly can be borne,

Dash'd as they are with supercilious scorn.

Nor branded the bold front of shameless men.

And grisly Death in sundry shapes appears.

(Dryden)

364 Hor.

1 Ep. xi. 29. Anxious through seas and land to search for rest,

Is but laborious idleness at best.

(Francis)

365 Virg.

Georg. iii. 272 But most in spring: the kindly spring inspires

Reviving heat, and kindles genial fires.

adapted

Flush'd by the spirit of the genial year,

Be greatly cautious of your sliding hearts.

(Thompson's Spring, 160 &c.)

366 Hor.

1 Od. xxii. 17. Set me where on some pathless plain

The swarthy Africans complain,

To see the chariot of the sun

So near the scorching country run:

The burning zone, the frozen isles,

Shall hear me sing of Celia's smiles;

All cold, but in her breast, I will despise,

And dare all heat, but that of Celia's eyes.

(Roscommon)

367 Juv.

Sat. i. 18 In mercy spare us, when we do our best

To make as much waste paper as the rest.

And mirth be kept to grace a dying friend.

(Roscommon)

370 Shakspeare —All the world's a stage,

And all the men and women merely players.

Whose laughing features wore a constant grin?

And in her borrow'd form escapes inquiring eyes.

Great to be done, or mighty to be gain'd.

(Rowe)

375 Hor.

4 Od. ix. 45. We barbarously call them blest,

Who are of largest tenements possest,

While swelling coffers break their owner's rest.

More truly happy those who can

Govern that little empire, man;

Who spend their treasure freely, as 'twas given

By the large bounty of indulgent Heaven;

Who, in a fix'd unalterable state,

Smile at the doubtful tide of Fate,

And scorn alike her friendship and her hate.

Who poison less than falsehood fear,

Loath to purchase life so dear.

(Stepney)

376 Pers.

Sat. vi. 11. From the Pythagorean peacock.

377 Hor.

2 Od. xiii. 13. What each should fly, is seldom known;

However fortune change the scene,

In thy most dejected state,

The settled quiet of thy mind destroy.

388 Virg.

Georg. ii. 174 For thee I dare unlock the sacred spring,

And arts disclosed by ancient sages sing.

389 Hor. Their pious sires a better lesson taught.

390 Tull. It is not by blushing, but by not doing what is unbecoming, that we ought to guard against the imputation of impudence.

391 Pers.

Sat. ii. v. 3. Thou know'st to join

No bribe unhallow'd to a prayer of thine;

Thine, which can ev'ry ear's full test abide,

Nor need be mutter'd to the gods aside!

No, thou aloud may'st thy petitions trust!

Thou need'st not whisper; other great ones must;

For few, my friend, few dare like thee be plain,

And prayer's low artifice at shrines disdain.

Few from their pious mumblings dare depart,

And make profession of their inmost heart.

Keep me, indulgent Heaven, through life sincere,

Keep my mind sound, my reputation clear.

These wishes they can speak, and we can hear.

Thus far their wants are audibly exprest;

Then sinks the voice, and muttering groans the rest:

'Hear, hear at length, good Hercules, my vow!

O chink some pot of gold beneath my plough!

Could I, O could I, to my ravish'd eyes,

See my rich uncle's pompous funeral rise;

Or could I once my ward's cold corpse attend,

Then all were mine!'

392 Petr. By fable's aid ungovern'd fancy soars,

And claims the ministry of heavenly powers.

393 Virg.

Georg. i. 412 Unusual sweetness purer joys inspires.

394 Tull. It is obvious to see that these things are very acceptable to children, young women, and servants, and to such as most resemble servants; but they can by no means meet with the approbation of people of thought and consideration.

410 Ter.

Eun. Act v. Sc. 4. When they are abroad, nothing so clean and nicely dressed, and when at supper with a gallant, they do but piddle, and pick the choicest bits: but to see their nastiness and poverty at home, their gluttony, and how they devour black crusts dipped in yesterday's broth, is a perfect antidote against wenching.

411 Lucr.

i. 925. In wild unclear'd, to Muses a retreat,

O'er ground untrod before, I devious roam,

And deep enamour'd into latent springs

Presume to peep at coy virgin Naiads.

Of numbers smiled, shall never grace

Her maids with cries attend the lofty car;

They clash with manly force their moony shields;

With female shouts resound the Phrygian fields.

The state they're placed in, and incline to rove;

Whether against their will by fate imposed,

Or by consent and prudent choice espoused?

Happy the merchant! the old soldier cries,

Broke with fatigues and warlike enterprise.

The merchant, when the dreaded hurricane

Tosses his wealthy cargo on the main,

Applauds the wars and toils of a campaign:

There an engagement soon decides your doom,

Bravely to die, or come victorious home.

The lawyer vows the farmer's life is best,

When at the dawn the clients break his rest.

The farmer, having put in bail t' appear,

And forced to town, cries they are happiest there:

With thousands more of this inconstant race,

Would tire e'en Fabius to relate each case.

Not to detain you longer, pray attend,

The issue of all this: Should Jove descend,

And grant to every man his rash demand,

To run his lengths with a neglectful hand;

First, grant the harass'd warrior a release,

Bid him to trade, and try the faithless seas,

To purchase treasure and declining ease:

Next, call the pleader from his learned strife,

To the calm blessings of a country life:

And with these separate demands dismiss

Each suppliant to enjoy the promised bliss:

Don't you believe they'd run? Not one will move,

Though proffer'd to be happy from above.

Met. xv. 179 E'en times are in perpetual flux, and run,

Like rivers from their fountains, rolling on.

For time, no more than streams, is at a stay;

The flying hour is ever on her way:

And as the fountains still supply their store,

The wave behind impels the wave before;

Thus in successive course the minutes run,

Are laid aside, like abdicated kings;

And every moment alters what is done,

And innovates some act, till then unknown.

Sat. i. 86 The miscellaneous subjects of my book.

610 Seneca Thus, when my fleeting days, at last,

Unheeded, silently, are past,

Calmly I shall resign my breath,

In life unknown, forgot in death:

While he, o'ertaken unprepared,

Finds death an evil to be fear'd,

Who dies, to others too much known,

A stranger to himself alone.

4 Od. ix. 47. Who spend their treasure freely, as 'twas given

By the large bounty of indulgent Heaven:

Who in a fixt unalterable state

Smile at the doubtful tide of fate,

And scorn alike her friendship and her hate:

Who poison less than falsehood fear,

Loath to purchase life so dear;

But kindly for their friend embrace cold death,

And seal their country's love with their departing breath.

(Stepney)

616 Mart.

Epig. i. 10. A pretty fellow is but half a man.

617 Pers.

Sat. i. 99 Their crooked horns the Mimallonian crew

With blasts inspired; and Rassaris, who slew

The scornful calf, with sword advanced on high,

Made from his neck his haughty head to fly.

And Mænas, when, with ivy-bridles bound,

She led the spotted lynx, then Evion rang around,

Evion from woods and floods repeating Echo's sound.

Survey'd our dusky, faint, imperfect day,

And under what a cloud of night we lay.

Itself to ease, and cheats away the days.

623 Virg.

Æn. iv. 24. But first let yawning earth a passage rend,

And let me thro' the dark abyss descend:

First let avenging Jove, with flames from high.

Drive down this body to the nether sky,

Condemn'd with ghosts in endless night to lie;

Before I break the plighted faith I gave;

No: he who had my vows shall ever have;

For whom I loved on earth, I worship in the grave.

(Dryden)

624 Hor.

He hath also Certificates from above 20 in a small time Cured, and of the worst sort.
