A stern foe to the Demos, I trow.—J. A. St. John.


Stesichorus. (Book iii. § 21, p. 136.)

Many a yellow quince was there

Piled upon the regal chair,

Many a verdant myrtle-bough,

Many a rose-crown featly wreathed,

With twisted violets that grow

Where the breath of spring has breathed. —J. A. St. John.
