----"Honoratum si forte reponis Achillem, Impiger, iracundus, inexorabilis, acer, Jura neget sibi nata, nihil non arroget armis."--Hor. A. P. 121. ] [Footnote 5: Il. xvi. 21.] [Footnote 6: Γράμμασιν Αἰθιοπικoῖς oὐ δημοτικoῖς 'αλλά Βασιλικοῖς. "This distinction," observes a reviewer, "between the royal and popular system of hieroglyphics, as well as the etiquette of inscribing the title of the king within a circle or oval, is borrowed from the monuments of Egypt."] [Footnote 7: Tasso, c. xii. 21-40, as is well known, has introduced the story of Chariclea under the name of Clorinda:-- "D'una pietosa istoria e di devote Figure la sua stanza era dipinta, Vergine bianca il bel volto, e le gote Vermiglia, è quivi presso un drago avvinta. . . . . . . Ingravida frattanto, ed espon fuori (E tu fosti colei) candida figlia." ] [Footnote 8: The effect of Jacob's rods will suggest itself to the recollection of the reader. Gen. xxx. 37-41.] [Footnote 9: Δίθψ παντάρβη την σφενδόνην καθιέρωμενον.] [Footnote 10: "His hands are tiny, but afar they throw, E'en down to Dis and Acheron below. . . . . . . Small is his bow, his arrow small to sight, But to Jove's court it wings its ready flight." Chapman's Trs. of Moschus. ] [Footnote 11: ἲυγγα. Properly the bird called the "wryneck." It was sacred to Venus, and much used in love incantations, especially to recall the alienated affections of a beloved object. It was employed fastened to a wheel, by turning which, the effect was supposed to be produced. It also means the magical wheel itself.--Hickie's Theocritus, see Theoc. Idyll. 11.] [Footnote 12: Mr. Hobhouse's description of the dance of the Albanians affords an illustration of the above. "They danced round the blaze to their own songs with astonishing energy--one of them which detained them more than an hour, had for the burden--'Robbers all at Parga! Robbers all at Parga!' and as they roared out this stave, they whirled round the fire, dropped and rebounded from their knees, and again whirled round as the chorus was again repeated."--Notes to Childe Harold, c. xi. 71.] [Footnote 13: ----Hic, hic ponite lucida Funalia, et vectes et arcus Oppositis foribus minaces.--Hor. Od. iii. xxvi. 6. ] [Footnote 14: "I swear to thee, by Cupid's strongest bow, By his best arrow with the golden head, By the simplicity of Venus' doves, By that which knitteth souls and prospers loves, By all the vows that ever men have broke, In number more than ever woman spoke." Midsummer Night's Dream. ]
