La Corriveau repeated by rote, as she had learned from her mother, the ill-omened words, hardly knowing their meaning, beyond that they were something very potent, and very wicked, which had been handed down through generations of poisoners and witches from the times of heathen Rome: "'Hecaten voco! Voco Tisiphonem! Spargens avernales aquas, Te morti devoveo, te diris ago!"
But neither Eton nor Westminster have in truth any claim to it, the line being borrowed, with a slight change, from an Epigram by Crashaw: 'Joann. 2, 'Aquæ in vinum versæ. Unde rubor vestris et non sua purpura lymphis? Qua rosa mirantes tam nova mutat aquas? Numen, convinvæ, præsens agnoscite numen, Nympha pudica DEUM vidit, et erubuit. MALONE. What gave your springs a brightness not their own?
So descriptions, figures, fables, and the rest, must be in all heroic poems; they are the common materials of poetry, furnished from the magazine of nature: every poet hath as much right to them as every man hath to air or water "Quid prohibetis aquas? Usus communis aquarum est." The Poet who borrows nothing from others is yet to be born; he and the Jews' Messias will come together.
Pro hac arena venitur per aquas, et per terras, et exportatur manibus et vehiculis prope et procul, et quantumcunque de die exhauritur, repleta mane altero reperitur: Et est in fossa ventus grandis et iugis, qui mirabiliter arenam commouere videtur.
But at least I have here the sense of doing work that may conceivably minister something to the service of others, while in town I have the sense of spending hours in occupations that cannot in any way benefit others, while they are certainly no satisfaction to myself, "In hoc portu quiescit Si quis aquas timet inquietas,"
