Sida 67 - The intelligible forms of ancient poets, The fair humanities of old religion, The Power, the Beauty, and the Majesty, That had their haunts in dale, or piny mountain, Or forest by slow stream, or pebbly spring, Or chasms and wat'ry depths ; all these have vanished. They live no longer in the faith of reason...
Sida 66 - The traveller slaked His thirst from rill or gushing fount, and thanked The Naiad. Sunbeams, upon distant hills, Gliding apace, with shadows in their train, Might, with small help from fancy, be transformed Into fleet Oreads sporting visibly. The zephyrs, fanning, as they passed, their wings, Lacked not, for love, fair objects, whom they wooed With gentle whisper.
Sida 245 - Republic, consisted (as we have seen) of twenty-one Tribes or Wards. Before the point at which we have arrived, these Tribes had been successively increased to three-and-thirty. These Tribes included a district beyond the Tiber stretching somewhat further than Veii ; a portion of the Sabine and ./Equian territory beyond the Anio ; with part of Latium, part of the Volscian country, and the coast-land as far as the Liris, southward. None but persons enrolled on the lists of these Tribes had a vote...
Sida 468 - Assembly alone there was still spirit enough to check Callicrates, who never ventured to assail the persons and property of his fellow-citizens. Meantime years rolled on; the captives still languished in Etruscan prisons; hope deferred and sickness were fast thinning their numbers: the Assembly asked that only Polybius and Stratius might return, but the request was met by a peremptory negative. At last, when Scipio returned from Spain, he induced Cato to intercede for these unhappy men. The manner...
Sida 697 - The body was to be burned and the ashes deposited in the Campus Martius near the tomb of his daughter Julia. But it was first brought into the Forum upon a bier inlaid with ivory and covered with rich tapestries, which was carried by men high in rank and office. There Antony, as consul, rose to pronounce the funeral oration. He ran through the chief acts of Caesar's life, recited his will, and then spoke of the death which had rewarded him. To make this more vividly present to the excitable Italians,...
Sida 99 - But not so was it destined to be. It chanced that as all the women were weeping and praying in the temples, the thought arose among them that they might effect what Patricians and Priests had alike failed to do. It was Valeria, the sister of the great Valerius Poplicola, who first started the thought, and she prevailed on Volumnia, the stern mother of the exile, to accompany the mournful train. With them also went Virgilia, his wife, leading her two boys by the hand, and a crowd of other women. Coriolanus...
Sida 470 - Diseus, who was general for the year, advanced into Thessaly, and was joined by the Thebans, always the inveterate enemies of Rome. Metellus had already heard that the Achaean War was to be conducted by L. Mummius, one of the new consuls ; and, anxious to bring it to a close before he was superseded, he advanced rapidly with his army. On this the braggart chiefs of the Achseans retreated in all haste, not endeavouring to make a stand even at Thermopylae.
Sida 715 - ... in undisputed mastery of the sea. Octavian, however, was never daunted by reverses, and he gave his favourite Agrippa full powers to conduct the war against Pompeius. This able commander set about his work with that resolution that marked a man determined not to fail. As a harbour for his fleet he executed a plan of the great Caesar — namely, to make a good and secure harbour on the coast of Latium, which then, as now, offered no shelter to ships.
Sida 54 - The only Latin town that defied Tarquin's power was Gabii ; and Sextus, the king's youngest son, promised to win this place also for his father. So he fled from Rome and presented himself at Gabii ; and there he made complaints of his father's tyranny and prayed for protection. The Gabians believed him, and took him into the"ir city, and they trusted him, so that in time he was made commander of their army. Now his father suffered him to conquer in many small battles, and the Gabians trusted him...
Sida 469 - Achseans into a rupture with Rome. The haughty republic, he said, was at war with Carthage and with Macedon ; now was the time to break their bonds. Q. Metellus, who had just landed in Greece with a considerable army, gave the Achseans a friendly warning, but in vain.
