Strana 242 - Thammuz came next behind, Whose annual wound in Lebanon allured The Syrian damsels to lament his fate In amorous ditties, all a summer's day; While smooth Adonis from his native rock Ran purple to the sea, supposed with blood Of Thammuz yearly wounded...
Strana 132 - For joy of offer'd peace : But I suppose, If our proposals once again were heard, We should compel them to a quick result.
