“With a mind undisturbed take life’s good and life’s evil,
Temper grief from despair, temper joy from vain-glory;
For, through each mortal change, equal mind,
O my Dellius, befits mortal born.”
—Horat. Carm. ii. 3, Lord Lytton’s trans.
[79].
“Fell Care climbs brazen galley’s sides;
Nor troops of horse can fly
Her foot, which than the stag’s is swifter—ay,
Swifter than Eurus when he madly rides
