The Remains of Hesiod the Ascræan, Including the Shield of Hercules / Translated into English rhyme and blank verse; with a dissertation on the life and æra, the poems and mythology of Hesiod, and copious notes.

by Hesiod

Where light and darkness in perpetual round

Lodge and dislodge by turns, which makes through heaven

Grateful vicissitude, like day and night:

Light issues forth, and at the other door

Obsequious darkness enters, till her hour

To veil the heaven.

[219] Sleep, Death’s half brother.] Virg. Æn. vi. 278:

Here Toils and Death, and Death’s half-brother Sleep,

Forms terrible to view, their sentry keep.

Dryden.
