Side 265 - tis the mind that makes the body rich ; And as the sun breaks through the darkest clouds, So honour peereth in the meanest habit. What, is the jay more precious than the lark, Because his feathers are more beautiful ? Or is the adder better than the eel, Because his painted skin contents the eye...

Les peintures, les bronzes, étaient encore dans leur beauté première, et tout ce qui peut servir aux usages domestiques, est conservé d'une manière effrayante.

Side 121 - Chalcis' walls, and strong Eretria ; The Isteian fields, for generous vines renown'd, The fair Carystos, and the Styrian ground ; Where Dios from her towers o'erlooks the plain, And high Cerinthus views the neighbouring main.
