Description
train;
When the gaunt lioness, with hunger bold,
Springs from the mountains toward the guarded fold:
Through breaking woods her rustling course they hear;
Loud, and more loud, the clamours strike their ear
Of hounds and men: they start, they gaze around,
Watch every side, and turn to every sound.
Thus watch'd the Grecians, cautious of surprise,
Each voice, each motion, drew their ears and eyes:
Each step of passing feet increased the affright;
And hostile Troy was ever full

as that city was called
Ephyre before its capture by the Dorians. But Velleius, vol. i. p.

towns and cities by the names by which they were known in his own

--"Paradise Lost," iv. 323.
105 --_Ćsetes' tomb._ Monuments were often built on the sea-coast, and of

See my notes to my prose translations of the "Odyssey," ii. p. 21,

tribes, but even between neighbouring cities--they yet acknowledged
in their language that they formed but one nation were but branches
of the same family. Homer has 'men of other tongues:' and yet Homer
had no general name for the Greek nation."--Heeren, "Ancient Greece,"
Section vii. p. 107, sq.
_ 108 The cranes._
"Marking the tracts of air, the clamorous cranes
Wheel their due flight in varied ranks descried:
And each with outstretch'd neck his rank maintains,
In marshall'd order through th' ethereal void."
Lorenzo de Medici, in Roscoe's Life, Appendix.
See Cary's Dante: "Hell," canto v.
_ 109 Silent, breathing rage._
"Thus they,
Breathing united force with fixed thought,

"Paradise Lost," book i. 559.
