by T. M. Hughes

Hom. Od. xi. 633.

XXV. “Alcides’ arm—the eye that Python slew,
The limbs and shoulder of the Delian God!”

Nec quòd laudamus formam, tàm turpe putâris;

Laudamus magnas hâc quoque parte Deas.

Ovid. Fast. vi. 807.

XXVI. “And Morton now, and Nial by his side,
In peril’s front the impetuous stormers lead,” &c.

Φευγόντων σὺν νηυσὶ φίλην ἐς πατρίδα γαῖαν·

Νῶϊ δ’ ἐγὼ Σθένελός τε μαχησόμεθ’, εἰσόκε τέκμωρ

Ἰλίου εὕρωμεν.
