Shakespeare. Rom, and Jul. Act IV. Sc. 3.
As in a vault, an ancient receptacle,
Where for these

years,

the bones Of all my buried ancestors lie pack’d. 24.

Ιd. Sc. 5.
All things that we ordained festival,
Turn from their office to black funeral.
Our instruments to melancholy bells-
Our wedding cheer to a sad burial feast-
Our solemn hymns to sullen dirges change-
Our bridal flowers serve for a buried corse,
And all things change them to the contrary.

Epig. Meleag. iii. 1.
Ου γάμον, αλλ' 'Αίδαν επινυμφίδιον Κλεαρίστα

δέξατο, παρθενίης άμματα λυομένα"
'Hώος δ' ολολυγμός ανέκραγεν, εν δ' Υμέναιος

Σιγαθείς, γοερόν φθέγμα μεθαρμόσατο
Αι δ' αύται και φθέγγος έδαδούχουν παρα παστω

Πεύκαι, και φθιμένα νέρθεν έφαινον όδον:

Eurip. Hippol. ν. 179. τoδε σοι λαμπρόν φέγγος, όδ' αιθήρ Cowley.

« The Muse." Go, the rich chariot instantly prepare,

The Queen, my Muse, would take the air.
The wheels of thy bold coach pass quick and free,

And all's an open road to thee-
Whatever God did say,

,
Is all thy plain and smooth, uninterrupted way.

Pind. OI, vi. 97.
ω φίντις, αλλά ζεύξον ή-

-δη μοι σθένος ημιόνων,
α τάχος, όφρα κελεύθω τ' εν καθαρά

βάσομεν όκχον 27.

Dante. Purgator. i. 96.

Che gli lavi 'l viso,
Si ch' ogni sucidume quindi stinga;
Che non si converria, l'occhio sorpriso
D'alcuna nebbia andar davanti al primo
Ministro, ch'è di quei di Paradiso.

For I mine own gain'd knowledge should profane,
If I would time expend with such a snipe,
But for my sport or profit.

The times are wild-contention, like a horse,
Full of high feeding, madly hath broke loose,
And bears down all before him.

Those sweet rewards which decorate the brave

And creep inglorious to the silent grave.

With all the pomp of hecatombs, would fail.
