Seite 99 - Let him for succour sue from place to place, Torn from his subjects, and his son's embrace.

Seite 242 - And give him to his aged father's sight. Now let him perish, since you hold it good, And glut the Trojans with his pious blood. Yet from our lineage he derives his name, And, in the fourth degree, from god Pilumnus came; Yet he devoutly pays you rites divine, And offers daily incense at your shrine.
Seite 259 - Then thrice around the kindled piles they go (For ancient custom had ordain'd it so) ; Thrice horse and foot about the fires are led ; And thrice with loud laments they hail the dead. Tears trickling down their breasts, bedew the ground, And drums and trumpets mix their mournful sound. Amid the blaze, their pious brethren throw The spoils, in battle taken from the foe — Helms...
