First let him see his friends in battle slain, And their untimely fate lament in vain: And when, at length, the cruel war shall cease, On hard conditions may he buy his peace: Nor let him then enjoy supreme command; But fall, untimely, by some hostile hand, And lie unbury'd on the barren sand!

Página 40 - Thund'rer heard, Then cast his eyes on Carthage, where he found The lustful pair in lawless pleasure drown'd, Lost in their loves, insensible of shame, And both forgetful of their better fame.
Página 285 - A gathering mist o'erclouds her cheerful eyes, And from her cheeks the rosy colour flies, Then turns to her, whom, of her female train, She trusted most, and thus she speaks with pain : " Acca, 'tis past ! he swims before my sight, Inexorable Death ; and claims his right. Bear my last words to Turnus ; fly with speed, And bid him timely to my charge succeed : Repel the Trojans, and the town relieve : Farewell .
Página 123 - Let others better mould the running mass Of metals, and inform the breathing brass, And soften into flesh, a marble face ; Plead better at the bar ; describe the skies, And when the stars descend, and when they rise. But Rome ! 'tis thine alone, with awful sway, To rule mankind, and make the world obey. Disposing peace and war, thy own majestic way : To tame the proud, the fetter'd slave to free: — These are imperial arts and worthy thee.
