by T. M. Hughes

Parva sub infesto cùm jacet agna lupo.

Ovid. Fast. ii. 797.

VII. ——“Would I had died,
Would Heaven that I had died this fatal hour!” &c.

Ἰοὺ, ἰοὺ, ἀντιπαθῆ

Μεθεῖσα καρδίας σταλαγμὸν

Χθονιαφόρον· ἐκ δὲ τοῦ

Λιχὴν ἄφυλλος, ἄτεκνος,

Βροτοφθόρους κηλίδας ἐν χώρᾳ βαλεῖ.

Æschyl. Eumen. 810.
