Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of William Cowper, Esq., Vol. 12: Comprising His Poems, Correspondence, and Translations, With a Life of the Author The Iliad. Book XIII. When Jove to Hector and his host had given Such entrance to the fleet, to all the woes And toils of unremitting battle there He them abandon´d, and his glorious eyes Averting, on the land look´d down remote Of the horse-breeding Thracians, of the bold Close-fighting Mysian race, and where abide On milk sustain´d, and blest with length of days, The Hippemolgi, justest of mankind. No longer now on Troy his eyes he turn´d, For expectation none within his breast Survived, that God or Goddess would the Greeks Approach with succour, or the Trojans more. Nor Neptune, sovereign of the boundless Deep, Look´d forth in vain; he on the summit sat Of Samothracia forest-crown´d, the stir Admiring thence and tempest of the field; For thence appear´d all Ida, thence the towers Of lofty Ilium, and the fleet of Greece. There sitting from the deeps uprisen, he mourn´d The vanquish´d Greecians, and resentment fierce Conceived and wrath against all-ruling Jove.
