Σελίδα 53 - Yet if, as holiest men have deem'd, there be A land of souls beyond that sable shore, To shame the doctrine of the Sadducee And sophists, madly vain of dubious lore...
Σελίδα 63 - ... hour as happy for us, though shocking to our friends; and never imagine that to be an evil, which is an appointment of the immortal gods, or of nature, the common parent of all.
