Famine and pestilence: in heaps they die.
Again, in vengeance of his wrath he falls
On their great hosts, and breaks their tottering walls;
Arrests their navies on the ocean’s plain,
And whelms their strength with mountains of the main.”
Elton.
SOME OF HESIOD’S PROVERBS.
‘Than wife that’s good man finds no greater gain,
But feast-frequenting mates are simply bane.
Invisible, the gods are ever nigh.
