Página 37 - Take my word for it, poor Homer, in those circumstances and early times, had never such aspiring thoughts. He wrote a sequel of songs and rhapsodies, to be sung by himself for small earnings and good cheer, at festivals and other days of merriment ; the Ilias he made for the men, and the Odysse'is for the other sex.
Página 42 - We will not destroy any Amphictyonic town, nor cut it off from running water in war or peace : if any one shall do so, we will march against him and destroy his city.

Página 113 - Calm sleep the mountain-tops and shady vales, The rugged cliffs and hollow glens; The wild beasts slumber in their dens, The cattle on the hill.
