we shall find him subjoining:
Massy and fair to behold,
which is a segment shorter than a clause. Next we find
Free on every side,
where the one Greek word (περίδρομος) by itself carries a certain meaning. And so on: we shall find him elaborating everything that follows in the same way. Why go into unnecessary detail?
From iambic poetry may be taken these lines of Euripides:—
Fatherland, ta’en by Pelops in possession,
Hail![195]
Thus far the first clause extends.
And thou, Pan, who haunt’st the stormy steeps
Of Arcady.[195]
So far the second extends.
