κ' εκείνοι 'πώχουν έμπροσθεν του σκότους τον αέρα•
δεν είναι αλογοβόσκητη, νήσος πετρώδης είναι•
αλλ' ούτε πάλι πάμπτωχη, αν και όχι εκτεταμένη•

συχνά την βρέχουν η βροχαίς και την ραντίζ' η δρόσος• 245
γίδια και βώδια τρέφονται καλά 'ς την χλωρασιά της,
και κάθε δένδρου ζωογονούν τ' αστείρετα νερά της•

Ovid - Book 5 |
|
The figure of Christ has been introduced often enough into fiction, and
many scholars have undertaken to write His life according to their own
lights, but few perhaps have ever attempted to present Him to us bereft

which a lack of the sense of harmony has
attached to His person through the ages in which His doctrines have been
taught.

* When the flogging was over, and he was untied from the cart at Westminster, he was taken into a tavern to await the remainder of the
punishment
: and here let him again tell his own
tale :—
I was cruelly whipped through the streets to Westminster,
and at the last came to the pillory, where I was unloosed from the cart, and having put on some of my clothes, went to the tavern, where I staid a pretty while waiting for my surgeon, who was not yet come to dress me ; where were many of my friends, who exceedingly rejoiced to see my courage, that the Lord had enabled me to undergo my punishment so willingly.
