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...

The author had doubtless in this place Homer's catalogue of ships, and Virgil's list of warriors, in his view. The characters of Moloch and Belial...
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.
