Williams, Hugh W.: Select views in Greece (Band 1) (London, 1829)

" If such a courage o'er the fatal fight
Had breathed her spirit of resistless might,
Greece had not wept her broken shield and sword,
Nor Pelops' reign the woes of war deplored:
Fair Peace had flourished o'er Arcadia still,
And Sparta sat, throned on her citadel;
Athens had never felt the victor's chain,
Nor Corinth blazed along the double main:
That day of Grascia's shame had seen the close.
And crushed the embryo buds of future woes."

J. P.

" Turn lustrata Ephyre, Patrasque, et regia Pleuron,
Parnassusque biceps, Phceboque loquentia saxa."

Sil. XV. 311.

" Then passed they Ephyre, and Patras's walls,
And wondering gazed on Pleuron's princely halls,
Parnassus' forked mount, and vocal rocks,
Instinct with Phoebus."

J. P.

" Jam pronis Gradivus equis Ephyrea premebat
Littora, qua summas caput Acrocorinthus in auras
TolHt, et alterna. geminum mare protegit umbra."

Stat. Theb. VII. 105.

" Now the red steeds of war the shores assail,
Where Corinth rears her tower-capt citadel,
And thence on either sea hath daily laid
The varying veil of her alternate shade."

J. P.
