Сторінка 176 - The dawn beheld him sunken in his place Upon the floor; and sleeping there he lay, Not heeding aught the little jets of spray The roughened sea brought nigh, across him cast, For as one dead all thought from him had passed.

But her late foe stopped short amidst his course, One moment gazed upon her piteously. Then with a groan his lingering feet did force To leave the spot whence he her eyes could see; And, changed like one who knows his time must be But short and bitter, without any word He knelt before the bearer of the sword ; Then high rose up the gleaming deadly blade,...
Сторінка 144 - This, then, is the man who killed the monsters ! How noble are his looks, and how huge his size ! Ah, would that he were our master's son ! " But presently Medeia came forth, decked in all her jewels, and her rich Eastern robes, and looking more beautiful than the day ; so that all the guests could look at nothing else. And in her right hand she held a golden cup, and in her left a flask of gold ; and she came up to Theseus, and spoke, in a sweet, soft, winning voice, — " Hail to the hero, the...
Сторінка 56 - ... and of hidden things to come. Then he sang of health, and strength, and manhood, and a valiant heart; and of music, and hunting, and wrestling, and all the games which heroes love; and of travel, and wars, and sieges, and a noble death in fight; and then he sang of peace and plenty, and of equal justice in the land; and as he sang, the boy listened wide-eyed, and forgot his errand in the song. And at the last old Cheiron was silent, and called the lad with a soft voice.

At last she looked up trembling, and saw Perseus springing toward her ; and instead of the monster a long black rock, with the sea rippling quietly round it. Who then so proud as Perseus, as he leapt back to the rock, and lifted his fair Andromeda in his arms, and flew with her to the cliff-top, as a falcon carries a dove ? Who so proud as Perseus,...
