Ηκούσαθ ̓ ὧν ἠκούσατ ̓.

Εγραψεν οἱ ἔγραψεν.

Epigr. Incert. Auct. Leips. Anthol. vol. i. p. 299.

I have done that I have done, be it worse, be it better.
Gammer Gurton's Needle, act iv. sc. 2.

And therewithal to comfort me againe,

I see a worlde of worthy government ;
All people dreade the magistrate's decree,

Theognis.

And all men feare the scourge of thund'ring Jove.

Gascoigne's Steele Glass.

See also the illustration to line 505 ; and Ajax. Herm. 1058. 62.

737 Αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἡμεῖς ὄντες ἐν τάφοις τότε
Τοῖς τἀμὰ παρβαίνουσι νῦν ὁρκώματα
Αμηχάνοισι πράξομεν δυσπραξίας.

Tunc quoque cum fuero vacuas dilapsus in auras

Tum quoque factorum veniam memor umbra tuorum.

Ovid. Ibis. 143.

̓Αντιπαθῆ μεθεῖσα κραδίας σταλαγμὸν
Αφορον.

Full heart, move like a cloud about,
And when time ripens thee to break, O shed
The stock of all thy poison on his head.

Nat. Lee's Alexander, act i. sc. 1.

Ἐκ δὲ τοῦ, λιχὴν ἄφυλλος,
Ατεκνος, ὦ δίκα, πέδον ἐπισύμενος
Βροτοφθόρους κηλίδας ἐν χώρᾳ βαλεῖ.

N

Heaven's magazines he open'd when he pleas'd,
He rains and winds for auxiliaries brought,
And muster'd flames and thunders when he fought.
Cowley's Davideis, book iv. 129.

I saw the cloudy drops of hail, and rain,
Garners of snow, and crystals full of dew,
Rivers of burning arrows, .

Huge beams like flames, and spears like firebrands.

Supreme divinity! who yet

Could ever find

Brewer's Lingua, act ii. sc. 6.

The treasury where thou lock'st up the wind?

Habington's Castara, part iv.

For Pallas's use of the armoury of Jove, Stanley quotes from Virgil:

Ipsa Jovis rapidum jaculata e nubibus ignem.

796

Κοίμα κελαινοῦ κύματος πικρὸν μένος.

I believe that this refers not to the "irarum fluctus," as Stanley would interpret, but to the internal supply of poison in the entrails of the Fury, who, according to old Chapman,

"Doth vomit ever

Quitture and venom, but is empty never."

And that something like the true interpretation is suggested by line 753.

Cum istaccin' te oratione huc ad me adire ausum, impudens?

Plaut. Aulul. iv. 10.

The gentlest Knight

the good Sir Mordaunt was:

Was, aye the while, that he is not so now!

Spenser's Fairy Queen, book ii. c. i. st. 49.

See also Agamemnon, 1647; and other instances might be added from Terence and Virgil.

They are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

854

Καὶ δὴ δέδεγμαι· τίς δέ μοι τιμὴ μένει ;

In Latin, dic, or fac, me accepisse.

VIOLA.-Say, I do speak with her, my lord; what then?

891

Twelfth Night, act i. sc. 5.

Καὶ ταῦτα γῆθεν, ἔκ τε ποντίας δρόσου,
Ἐξ οὐρανοῦ τε, κἀνέμων ἀήματα

Εὐηλίως πνέοντ ̓ ἐπιστείχειν χθόνα.

Nutriant foetus et aquæ salubres,

Et Jovis auræ.

Along with you plenty and riches go,

With a full tide to every port they flow,

Hor. Carm. Sec. 31.

With a warm fruitful wind o'er all the country blow.
Cowley's Ode on His Majesty's Restoration, st. V.
