The beautiful distich upon Ajax in the foregoing lines, puts me in mind of a description in Homer's Odyssey. It
Strana 436 - I. 1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd's care : His presence shall my wants supply,' And guard me with a watchful eye ; My noon-day walks he shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend. II. When in the sultry glebe I faint, Or on the thirsty mountain pant ; To fertile vales and dewy meads My

Strana 473 - a shining frame. Their great Original proclaim : The unwearied sun from day to day Does his Creator's power display, And publishes to every land The work of an Almighty hand. II.
