Strana 199 - A shout that tore Hell's concave, and beyond Frighted the reign of Chaos and old Night.
Strana 101 - The sentiments in an epic poem are the thoughts and behaviour which the author ascribes to the persons whom he introduces, and are...
Strana 125 - ... as created beings ; and that, in the other, Adam and Eve are confounded with their sons and daughters. Such little...

Strana 198 - Lucian relates concerning this river, viz. that this stream, at certain seasons of the year, especially about the feast of Adonis, is of a bloody colour ; •which the heathens looked upon as proceeding from a kind of sympathy in the river for the death of Adonis, who was killed by a wild boar in the mountains out of which this stream rises.
