“Most sure, the goddess On whom these airs attend! Vouchsafe my prayer May know if you remain upon this island.” —SHAKESPEARE, _Tempest_. [84] 11:27. =Phœbus’ sister.= Diana, sister of Phœbus Apollo. [85] 12:1. =Agenor.= Twin brother of Belus and founder of Sidon, from whom Dido was descended.

Kingsley’s _Westward Ho!_ [88] 12:36. =Byrsa.= A word which in the Carthaginian language meant citadel, but sounded like a Greek word meaning bull’s hide.

Some sound the trumpet for the rest to swarm, And some on bells of tasted lilies play; With glewy wax some new foundation lay Of virgin combs, which from the roof are hung; Some arm’d within doors upon duty stay, Or tend the sick, or educate the young.” —DRYDEN, _Annus Mirabilis_. [96] 15:18. =Sidon.= Tyre and Sidon were the chief cities of Phœnicia. Adjectives formed from them are used interchangeably with Phœnician and Carthaginian for the sake of variety or to meet metrical requirements. [97] 15:37. =Tears.= “Yet tears to human suffering are due; And mortal hopes defeated and o’erthrown Are mourned by man.” —WORDSWORTH, _Laodamia_.
