Pagina 94 - Thou hast come, O stranger, to the seats of this land, renowned for the steed ; to seats the fairest on earth, the chalky Colonus ; where the vocal nightingale, chief abounding, trills her plaintive note in the green vales, tenanting the dark-hued ivy and the leafy grove of the god, untrodden [by mortal foot], teeming with fruits, impervious to the sun, and unshaken by the winds of every storm ; where Bacchus ever roams in revelry companioning his divine nurses. And ever day by day the narcissus,...

And there is a tree, such as I hear not to have ever sprung in the land of Asia, nor in the mighty Doric island of Pelops, a tree unplanted by hand, of spontaneous growth, terror of the hostile spear*, which flourishes chiefly in this region, the leaf of the pale gray olive that nourishes our young. This shall neither any one in youth* nor in old age, marking for destruction, and...
Pagina 95 - Cephissus fail, but ever, each day, it rushes o'er the plains with its stainless wave. fertilizing the bosom of the earth; nor have the choirs of the Muses spurned this clime; nor Venus, too, of the golden rein. And there is a tree, such as I hear not to have ever sprung in the land of Asia, nor in the mighty Doric island of Pelops, a tree...
Pagina 179 - ... mid the rural cots, thee shall neither any of the immortals escape, nor of men the creatures of a day 3 : but he that feels thee is that instant maddened. Thou for their ruin seducest the minds of the just to injustice : thou hast stirred up this strife of kindred men, and desire revealed from the...
Pagina 124 - Wherefore the curses shall possess your seat and your throne, if Justice, famed of old, jointly preside with Jove over his ancient laws. But do you go to ruin, both spurned and disowned by me, basest of the base, taking with you these curses, which on you I invoke, never to gain possession of your native land by the spear, and never to return to hollow Argos, but to die by a brother's hand, to slay him by whom you were driven out. Such curses I imprecate, and I invoke the murky parent gloom of Tartarus...
