"The youth all pale with shiv'ring fear was stung, And vain excuses falter'd on his tongue: Alcides snatch'd him, as with suppliant face He strove to clasp his knees, and beg for grace; He toss'd him o'er his head with airy course, And hurl'd with more than with an engine's force: Far o'er the Eubœan main aloof he flies, And hardens by degrees amid the skies." [365] A cant term for a foolish fellow or idiot. See Mr Steevens's note on "Troilus and Cressida," act ii. sc. 1. END OF VOL. XIII.
