Page 278 - Thus having said, the gallant chiefs alight, Their hands they join, their mutual faith they plight ; Brave Glaucus then each narrow thought resign'd, (Jove warm'd his bosom, and enlarged his mind,) For Diomed's brass arms, of mean device, For which nine oxen paid, (a vulgar price,) He gave his own, of gold divinely wrought," A hundred beeves the shining purchase bought.
Page 75 - Things which agree with the fame third, agree with one another. 2. When one agrees with the third, and the other does not, they do not agree with one another. 3. When neither agrees with the third, you cannot thence conclude, either that they do, or do not agree with one another. If...
Page 330 - By mutual confidence, and mutual aid, Great deeds are done, and great discoveries made . The wise new prudence from the wise acquire And one brave hero fans another's fire.
Page 143 - Thirdly, he has suffered vastly by his transcribers, as all authors of great brevity necessarily must. Fourthly and lastly, he has abundance of fine, uncommon things, which make him well worth the pains he gives one. You see what you have to expect.
Page 204 - When any of these, therefore, being arrived at perfect age, instead of yielding suitable returns of gratitude and assistance to those by whom they have been bred, on the contrary attempt to injure them by words or actions, it is manifest that those who behold the wrong, after having also seen the sufferings and...

Page 373 - Since then his own life is, to a good man, a thing naturally sweet and ultimately desirable, for a similar reason is the life of his friend agreeable to him, and delightful merely on its own account, and without reference to any object beyond it ; and to live without friends is to be destitute of a good, unconditioned, absolute, and in itself desirable ; and therefore to be deprived of one of the most solid and most substantial of all enjoyments.
Page 405 - By these no statutes and no rights are known, No council held, no monarch fills the throne, But high on hills, or airy cliffs, they dwell, Or deep in caves whose entrance leads to hell. 130 Each rules his race, his neighbour not his care, Heedless of others, to his own severe.

Then he has a dry conciseness that makes one imagine one is perusing a table of contents rather than a book ; it tastes for all the world like chopped hay, or rather like chopped logic ; for he has a violent affection to that art, being in some sort his own invention ; so that he often loses himself in little trifling distinctions and verbal niceties, and what is worse, leaves you to extricate yourself as you can.
