of flight, None of retreat, no unbecoming deed That argued fear." --"Paradise Lost," vi. 236. 222 --_One of love._ Although a bastard brother received only a small portion of the inheritance, he was commonly very well treated. Priam appears to be the only one of whom polygamy is directly asserted in the Iliad. Grote, vol. ii. p. 114, note. 223 "Circled with foes as when a packe of bloodie jackals cling About a goodly palmed hart, hurt with a hunter's bow Whose escape his nimble feet insure, whilst his warm blood doth flow, And his light knees have power to move: but (maistred by his wound) Embost within a shady hill, the jackals charge him round, And teare his flesh--when instantly fortune sends in the powers Of some sterne lion, with whose sighte they flie and he devours. So they around Ulysses prest." --Chapman. 224 --_Simois, railing,_ &c. "In those bloody fields Where Simois rolls the bodies and the shields Of heroes." --Dryden's Virgil, i. 142. 225 "Where yon disorder'd heap of ruin lies, Stones rent from stones,--where clouds of dust arise,-- Amid that smother, Neptune holds his place, Below the wall's foundation drives his mace, And heaves the building from the solid base." Dryden's Virgil, ii. 825. 226 --_Why boast we._ "Wherefore do I assume These royalties and not refuse to reign, Refusing to accept as great a share Of hazard as of honour, due alike to him Who reigns, and so much to him due Of hazard more, as he above the rest High honour'd sits."
