Strana 175 - Before great Agamemnon reign'd, Reign'd kings as great as he, and brave, Whose huge ambition's now contain'd In the small compass of a grave; In endless night they sleep, unwept, unknown, No bard had they to make all time their own.
Strana 63 - Thro' watchful guards its passage make, And loves thro' solid walls to break : From gold the overwhelming woes That crush'd the Grecian augur rose : Philip with gold thro...

Strana 2 - Non hoc iocosae conveniet lyrae : Quo, Musa, tendis ? Desine pervicax 70 Referre sermones deorum et Magna modis tenuare parvis. Descende caelo et die age tibia Regina longum Calliope melos, Seu voce nunc mavis acuta, Seu fidibus citharaque Phoebi.
