Flumine tum rapido invehitur, qui dividit arva
Cornubia et Devona Tamar, sub utrumque citato
Flumine delabens finem, Plimique propinquâ
Auctus aquâ obliquo decurrit ad Ostia cursu ;
Hunc sequitur Dartes, stanni qui obsessus arenis
Tellure effossis vix currit in æquora : deinde
Grandius incedens, latèque adamante corusco
Resplendens, Auvona venit, jactatque fluento
Impositas urbes, vos, O miracula mundi,

Solis aquæ, et multâ Bristoa ornata carinâ.

Plurimus Ousa fluens ex interioribus agris
Proximus it, multas et præterlabitur urbes,
Oppida multa, aliosque super, dum defluit, amnes
In sese recipit: Clevam, Verumque sonantem
Gantemque Sturimque citum Ronamque fugacem ;—
Inde petit sedem quondam venantibus aptam,
Et te, Granta, parens mea, quam circum ille coronâ
Ornat et ingenuis ornatur honoribus ipse,
Musarumque choro facundorumque loquellâ.

Post hos Tyna venit, cujus per littora, saxis
Obsita, Romanus murum construxit ahenum,
Quo melius Pictûm spoliantia latius illic
Agmina jam invalidi possent arcere Britanni.
Nunc quoque nomen habet de fundatore Severo.
Se Tueda adjungit comitem, qui dividit agros
Logridos Albanosque; incedit Ituna supremus,
Parvus Ituna quidem, at Scotorum sæpe cruore
Turbidus Angligenûmque simul, quos miscuit illo
Littore mars sævis inter se plurimus armis.

SATAN'S ADDRESS TO THE SUN.

MILTON.

O thou, that, with surpassing glory crown'd,
Look'st from thy sole dominion like the god
Of this new world; at whose sight all the stars
Hide their diminish'd heads; to thee I call,
But with no friendly voice, and add thy name,
O sun! to tell thee how I hate thy beams,
That bring to my remembrance from what state
I fell, how glorious once above thy sphere;
Till pride and worse ambition threw me down,
Warring in heaven against heaven's matchless King:
Ah, wherefore? he deserved no such return
From me, whom he created what I was

In that bright eminence, and with his good
Upbraided none; nor was his service hard.
What could be less than to afford him praise,
The easiest recompense, and pay him thanks,
How due! yet all his good proved ill in me,
And wrought but malice; lifted up so high
I 'sdain'd subjection, and thought one step higher
Would set me highest, and in a moment quit
The debt immense of endless gratitude,

So burdensome still paying, still to owe:
Forgetful what from him I still received,
And understood not that a grateful mind
By owing owes not, but still pays, at once
Indebted and discharged.

IDEM GRÆCE REDDITUM.

Σὲ τὸν περίσσ ̓ αἴγλαισιν ἐξεστεμμένον,
οἴας ἀπ ̓ ἀρχῆς ὃς πρέπεις ὁρᾷν θεῷ
τῷ δεσποτοῦντι τῆσδε γῆς νεοσπόρου,
οὗ δὴ φανέντος κρᾶτας ἠτιμασμένους
κρύπτουσι πάντες ἀστέρες,—σέ τοι καλῶ,
ἀλλ ̓ οὐ φίλοισι φθέγμασιν προσεννέπων,
Ηλιε, σὸν ὄνομα προστιθεὶς, ἵν ̓ ἐκμάθης
ὥς ἐστ ̓ ἐμοὶ σὸν φέγγος ἔχθιστον, δι ̓ οὗ
μνῆστίς μ ̓ ὑπῆλθεν οἷος ὢν οἵως ἔχω,
ὡς λαμπρὸς ἦν ποτ ̓ εἰς ὑπερβολὴν σέθεν,
ἕως χλιδὴ καὶ τῆσδ ̓ ἐτ ̓ αἰσχίων νόσος,
φιλιτιμία, μ ̓ ἔσφηλε κἀνεχαίτισεν
μαχόμενον ἀμάχῳ τῷ κατ ̓ οὐρανὸν Πρόμῳ.
τί δὴ παθόντ ̓; Εκείνος οὐκ ἦν ἄξιος
ταῦτ ̓ ἀντιπάσχειν τοῦδ ̓ ὕφ ̓, ὅνπερ ἔκτισεν
ωάλ ̓ ὑψίπυργον, κοὐ τόν εὖ πεπονθότα
ὠνείδισ ̓, οὐδ ̓ ἔκνιζε το κείνου ζυγόν
τί γὰρ γένοιτ' ἂν ῥᾷον ἢ κεῖνον καλοῖς
λόγοις ἐπαινεῖν, μισθὸν εὐτελέστατον,
χάριν τ ̓ ἀποτίνειν χάριτος ἀξιωτάτῳ.
καίτοι τά γ ̓ ἐσθλὰ πάντα τἀκείνου κακά
ἐγένετο, δυσμένειαν ἐμφύσαντά μοι·
τοσοῦτος ἀρθεὶς οὐκ ἔτλην ἄλλου κλύειν
ἀναβάς τε βάθρον ἓν μόνον περαιτέρω
οὕτως ἔμελλον ἀκροτάτης κρατεῖν ἕδρας
καὶ τῆς τ ̓ ἀπαύστου χάριτος ἐν πληγῇ μια
ἀπαλλαγῆναι μυρίου τ'. ἄχθους, ὅπερ
ἐν τῷ τίνειν ἔνεστι κὠφείλειν αέι,
λαθόμενος ὧν καὶ τηνικαῦτ ̓ ἐλάμβανον
κείνου διδόντος, οὐ τόδε ξυνεὶς ὅτι
οὐδέν γ' ὀφείλει πᾶς ὀφειλέτης, παρ' ᾧ
κεῖται βέβαιος ἡ χάρις· τίνει μὲν οὖν
ὀφειλέτης ὢν κοὐκ ὀφειλέτης ἅμα.
