الصفحة 273 - Assist my present search for faults and errors. CHORUS Here beside you, here are we, Eager all to hear and see This abstruse and mighty battle Of profound and learned prattle. — But, as it appears to me, Thus the course of it will be; He, the junior and appellant, Will advance as the assailant.
