About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1796 edition. Excerpt: ...adjusted: His javelin still Tydides aim'd above The buckler's rimy still at the neck he drove. Ver. 971. Yet still the vigor's due Tydides gaffs. Achilles in this place acts the part of a very just arbitrator: though the combat did not proceed to a full issue, yet Diomed had evidently the advantage, and consequently ought to be rewarded as victor, because he would have been victorious, had not the Greeks interposed.

P. Ver. 975. This line is an addition from the translator. This mighty quoit Aetion wont to rear, And from his whirling arm dismiss in air: The giant by Achilles slain, he stow'd Among his spoils this memorable load. 98a For this, he bids those nervous artists vie, That teach the disk to sound along the sky. Let him whose might can hurl this bowl, arise, Who farthest hurls it, take it as his prize: If he be one, enrich'd with large domain 985 Of downs for flocks, and arable for grain, Small stock of iron needs that man provide; His hinds and swains whole years mall be supply'd From hence: nor ask the neighb'ring city's aid, For ploughshares, wheels, and all the rural trade. Ver. 985;. If he be one, enrich'd, &c The poet in this...
