Therefore I call upon thee, if with thee be the power to assist me, Up to Olympus to go, and to supplicate Zeus for thine offspring, If, or by word or by deed, thou hast pleasur'd the heart of the Highest: And I have heard thee of old, full oft, in the halls of my father, Boast how of all the immortals thy ministry only avail'd him Then when the rest of the Gods were combin'd for his humiliation, Hera herself at the head, with Poseidon and Pallas Athena, All in conspiracy swearing to fetter the Lord of the Black Cloud; But thou, Goddess, approaching, wast able to rescue from bondage, Summoning swiftly to join thee, and leading to lofty Olympus, Him who is Briareus nam'd among men, by Immortals, Ægeon, Him of the hundred hands, who surpasses his father in puissance; And by Kronion he sat in the pride of his glory rejoicing, Filling with terror the Blest; for they saw and desisted from binding.
Frazer, to your notice and regard. He means to enter the American camp, and there to gain that experience, of which the general cause may be avail'd. It is my earnest wish that many Virginians might see service. It is not unlikely that in the fluctuation of things our country may have occasion for great military exertions.
"Farewell! if ever fondest prayer For other's weal avail'd on high, Mine will not all be lost in air, But waft thy name beyond the sky. My soul nor deigns nor dares complain, Though grief and passion there rebel; I only know we loved in vain I only feel Farewell! Farewell!"
But in Brittany, there being a provision for this, he avail'd himself of it; and, taking an occasion when the states were assembled at Rennes, the Marquis, attended with his two boys, entered the court; and having pleaded the right of an ancient law of the duchy, which, though seldom claim'd, he said, was no less in force, he took his sword from his side: Here, said he, take it; and be trusty guardians of it, till better times put me in condition to reclaim it.
But what avail'd, that twice thou daredst to try The frost-bound sea, and twice the burning sky, That by winds, waves, and every realm revered, Safe, only safe, thy sacred vessel steer'd; That war for thee forgot its dire commands The world's great friend, ah! bleeds by savage hands."
Dear as thou art to my soul, let it never be mine to behold thee Under his chastising hand, for, however my will might incline me, Service were none the Olympian's grasp is not easy to strive with. Once on a time my resistance avail'd not, when seizing me tightly, Here by the foot, I was hurl'd sheer down from the heavenly threshold!
