Стр. 77 - Yet, while my Hector still survives, I see My father, mother, brethren, all in thee. Alas ! my parents, brothers, kindred, all Once more will perish, if my Hector fall. Thy wife, thy infant, in thy danger share : Oh !. prove a husband's and a father's care ! That quarter most the skilful Greeks annoy, Where yon wild fig-trees join the wall of Troy. Thou from this tower defend th...
Стр. 92 - I'll meet thee there.' When the apparition was gone, he called his servants, who told him they had neither heard any noise, nor had seen any vision.
Стр. 78 - No more — but hasten to thy tasks at home, There guide the spindle, and direct the loom: Me glory summons to the martial scene, The field of combat is the sphere for men. Where heroes war, the foremost place I claim, The first in danger as the first in fame.

Not long after this, at a solemn sacrifice in the citadel, when the herald prayed as usual for the long continuance of the government, Dionysius is said to have cried, " How long will you continue to curse me?
Стр. 129 - Satibarzanes sought every place for water; for the field afforded none, and they were at a great distance from the camp. After much search, he found one of those poor Caunians had about two quarts of bad water in a mean bottle, and he took it and carried it to the king.

Upon which he swore by all the gods,—" That he had never drank the most delicious wine, nor the lightest and clearest...
Стр. 120 - Artaxerxes, whose name he bore, by behaving with great affability to all that addressed him, and distributing honours and rewards to persons of merit with a lavish hand. He took care that punishments should never be embittered with insult. If he received presents, he appeared as well pleased as those who offered them, or rather as those who received favours from him; and in conferring favours, he always kept a countenance of benignity and pleasure. There was not any thing, however trifling, brought...
Стр. 107 - Lucilius ; but be assured, that you have met with a booty better than that you have sought for ; you have been in search of an enemy, and you have brought me a friend. I was truly at a loss how I should have treated Brutus, if you had brought him to me alive ; but of this I am sure, that it is better to have such a man as Lucilius our friend, than our enemy.
Стр. 97 - Brutus-like, therefore, dedicate yourselves at this day to the service of your country, and henceforth live a life of liberty and glory.
Стр. 96 - In the younger and less experienced part of my life, I was led, upon philosophical principles, to condemn the conduct of Cato in killing himself. I thought it at once impious and unmanly to sink beneath the stroke of fortune, and to refuse the lot that had befallen us. In my present situation, however, I am of a different opinion...
