Seite 55 - Some felt the silent stroke of mould'ring age, Some hostile fury, some religious rage. Barbarian blindness, Christian zeal conspire, And Papal piety, and Gothic fire.
Seite 70 - ... particulars of an emperor's story into the several years of his reign : or, where they do it, they often differ in their several periods. Here, therefore, it is much safer to quote a medal than an author, for in this case you do not appeal to a Suetonius or a Lainpridius, but to the emperor himself, or to the whole body of a Roman senate.
