"Oh! Marius, Marius, wherefore art thou, Marius?"—Otway's "Marius."
[120] Nothing is more common than these seeming contradictions; such as—
"Haughty weakness."—"Victim."
"Great small world."—"Noah's Flood."
[121] Lee hath improved this metaphor:
"Dost thou not view joy peeping from my eyes,
The casements open'd wide to gaze on thee?
So Rome's glad citizens to windows rise,
When they some young triumpher fain would see."—"Gloriana."
