St. XLV.

Suspendre leurs lauriers au bois de leur charrue.

Terra gaudente vomere laureate, et triumphali aratore. Plik.
Divine Libertj ! ta bannière flottante.

Yet ! freedom ! yet thy banner, torn, but flying,
Streaxns like the thunder-storm against the wiiid ;
Thy trumpet-voice, though broken uovf, and dying,
The loudest still the tempest leaves behind ;
Thy tree hath lost its blossoms, and the riud,
Cbopp’d by the axe, looks rough, and Uttle vrorth,
But the sap lasts, — and still the seed we find
Sown deep, even in the hosom of the north.

Chtlde-harold, ch. I-V.

Mais son tronc inutile donne encor de l’ombrage.

Nudosque par aera ramos

filïuudens, trunco, non frondibus, efficit umhram.
Lccah, lib. I.

Que Sparte eut plus d’un fils qui valait mieux que moi.

Épttaphe de Brasidas.
