第 305 頁 - No strength of man, or fiercest wild beast, could withstand ; Who tore the lion as the lion tears the kid ; Ran on embattled armies clad in iron ; And, weaponless himself, Made arms ridiculous, useless the forgery Of brazen shield and spear, the hammer'd cuirass, Chalybean-temper'd steel, and frock of mail Adamantean proof?
第 391 頁 - ... exhibits human nature in its most abject and humiliating attitude. Such an attitude would little suit the purposes of the poet. What then must he do? He must throw the interest on the murderer: our sympathy must be with him...
