BOOK VI.

"I will bring fire to thee—I reek not of the place."
—EURIPIDES: Andromache, 214.

. . . THIS ancient city,
How wanton sits she amidst Nature's smiles!

. . . Various nations meet,
As in the sea, yet not confined in space,
But streaming freely through the spacious streets.—YOUNG.

. . . His teeth he still did grind,
And grimly gnash, threatening revenge in vain.—SPENSER.
