The Poetical Works of Addison; Gay's Fables; and Somerville's Chase. John Gay

Through all its inmost winding caverns roared.

       Roused with the sound, the mighty family

       Of one-eyed brothers hasten to the shore,

       And gather round the bellowing Polypheme,

       A dire assembly: we with eager haste

       Work every one, and from afar behold

       A host of giants covering all the shore.

       So stands a forest tall of mountain oaks

       Advanced to mighty growth: the traveller

       _140

       Hears from the humble valley where he rides

       The hollow murmurs of the winds that blow

       Amidst the boughs, and at the distance sees

       The shady tops of trees unnumbered rise,

       A stately prospect, waving in the clouds.

      THE CAMPAIGN, A POEM.

      TO HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH.

      Rhení pæator et Istri.

       Omnis in hoc uno variis discordia cessit

       Ordinibus; læctatur eques, plauditque senator,

       Votaque patricio certant plebeia favori.

       CLAUD. DE LAUD. STILIC.

      Esse aliquam in terris gentem quæ suâ impensâ, suo labore ac periculo bella gerat pro libertate aliorum. Nec hoc finitimis, aut propinquæ vicinitatis hominibus, aut terris continenti junctis præstet. Maria trajiciat: ne quod toto orbe terrarum injustum imperium sit, et ubique jus, fas, lex, potentissima sint. LIV. HIST. lib. 36.
