service,
performed
for the last time in my hearing; and at night, when

Perhaps the most peculiar of all the forms of deity in Rome, and probably the only one for whose worship there was devised an efligy peculiarly Italian, was the double-headed Ianus; and yet it was suggestive of the idea so characteristic of the scrupulous spirit of Roman religion, that at the commencement of every act the “spirit of opening” should first be invoked,
while it above all betokened the deep conviction that it was as indispensable to combine the Roman gods in sets as it was necessary that the more personal gods of the
Hellenes
should stand singly and apart.

woeful two-year-old who plucks at the gown of
the mother, too busy at first to take her up

to the child's persistency; he knows what a
delight it is to a little fellow to have two or
three trees in the garden that he can call his

to see the ass munch his way at leisure

returned
again to his country, 3 but, being hindered from landing by Eurysaces the son of Ajax, he sailed to the coast of Spain, and took possession of those parts where New Carthage now stands, and, passing from thence to Gallaecia, and fixing his abode there, gave name to the nation.

When the swain views the star of day
Quench in the pillowing waves its ray,
And scatter darkness o'er the eastern skies
Rising, his custom'd crook he takes,
The beech-wood, fountain, plain forsakes,
As calmly
homeward
with his flock he hies
Remote from man, then on his bed
In cot, or cave, with fresh leaves spread,
He courts soft slumber, and suspense from care,
While thou, fell Love, bidst me pursue
That voice, those footsteps which subdue
My soul; yet movest not th' obdurate fair!

If the land be changed, its folk
displaced
and scattered,
it is no wonder, nor theirs the first such fate,
Though all that mighty expanse be now deserted
though it now be home to drought and dearth and plague.
