I think the pretension can only be treated as Phaeton's was, according to Fielding's farce "Besides, by all the village boys I'm shamed, You, the sun's son, you rascal? you be damn'd." Egad I'll put that into Woodstock. It might come well from the old admirer of Shakespeare. Then Fielding's lines were not written. What then? it is an anachronism for some sly rogue to detect.
As for conflagrations and great droughts, they do not merely dispeople and destroy. Phaeton's car went but a day. And the three years' drought in the time of Elias, was but particular, and left people alive. As for the great burnings by lightnings, which are often in the West Indies, they are but narrow.
Milman, in his poem of "Samor," makes the following allusion to Phaeton's story: "As when the palsied universe aghast Lay mute and still, When drove, so poets sing, the Sun-born youth Devious through Heaven's affrighted signs his sire's Ill-granted chariot.
Kitty has been imploring her mother to allow her to go out into the world as her friends have done, if only for once. "Fondness prevailed, mamma gave way; Kitty, at heart's desire, Obtained the chariot for a day, And set the world on fire." Milman, in his poem of Samor, makes the following allusion to Phaeton's story:
Whether Monsieur Varillas, or our immortal Addison, mention their being so perpetuated on medals now existing, I know not; but in this land of rarities we shall soon hear or see. Mean time let us leave looking for these weeping Heliades, and enquire what became of the Swan, that poor Phaeton's friend and cousin turned into, for very grief and fear at seeing him tumble in the water.
So saying, he strode from the room with Master Milo trotting at his heels, and being come out upon the terrace, stood to watch the phaeton's rapid approach. And, indeed, what words could be found in any language that could possibly do justice to the gentle, glowing beauty of Mistress Clemency Dare, transformed now, for good and all, into Beatrix, Viscountess Devenham?
The commonwealth attorney took no pains to conceal his satisfaction. "Now," he cried, "this will worry my friend Galpin, and clip his wings considerably; and yet I had called his attention to the lines of Horace, in which he speaks of Phaeton's sad fate, and says, 'Terret ambustus Phaeton avaras Spes. But he would not listen to me, forgetting, that, without prudence, force is a danger.
Milman, in his poem of "Samor," makes the following allusion to Phaeton's story: "As when the palsied universe aghast Lay mute and still, When drove, so poets sing, the Sun-born youth Devious through Heaven's affrighted signs his sire's Ill-granted chariot.
Phaeton's adventure makes it clear that everything has boiled right to the bottom of the sea. The sulphur of Mount Vesuvius proves invincibly that the banks of the Rhine, Danube, Ganges, Nile and the great Yellow River are merely sulphur, nitre and Guiac oil, which only await the moment of the explosion to reduce the earth to ashes, as it has already been.
I'll have your portmanteau packed and sent after you the phaeton's out in the yard to Rowsley, or Ashead, or Dornton, wherever they put up. Now go, or we shall have hot work. Keep your head on, and go. He went, without bowing. Lady Charlotte rang for the footman. The earl and she watched the scene on the sward below the terrace. Aminta listened to Weyburn. Evidently there was no expostulation.
