الصفحة 177 - The pendulous round earth with balanced air In counterpoise ; now ponders all events, Battles, and realms : in these he put two weights, The sequel each of parting and of fight : The latter quick up flew and kick'd the beam...
الصفحة 144 - Minerva swift descended from above, Sent by the sister and the wife of Jove '" (For both the princes claim'd her equal care) ; Behind she stood, and by the golden hair Achilles seized, to him alone confess'd ; A sable cloud conceal'd her from the rest.
