The officers of Yin, admirable and alert, Assist at the libations in our capital . They assist at those libations, Always wearing the hatchet-figures on their lower garments and their peculiar cap . O ye loyal ministers of the king, Ever think of your ancestor! The doings of high Heaven Have neither sound nor
Xenophon, starting from his meal in delight, immediately offered libations to those gods who had revealed both the dream to himself in the night, and the unexpected ford afterwards to these youths; two revelations which he ascribed to the same gods.
He joined his old companions, but he kept aloof from their more dissipated pursuits. Beyond what was then thought the venial error of too devout libations to Bacchus, Charley Vernon seemed reformed. Ardworth had joined a regiment which had departed for the field of action. Mainwaring was still with his father, and had not yet announced to Sir Miles any wish or project for the future.
And now I bid you propitiate him with the steam of sacrifice and libations. Be gracious, O king, be gracious in thy appearing." Thus he spake, and they straightway built up an altar with shingle; and over the island they wandered, seeking if haply they could get a glimpse of a fawn or a wild goat, that often seek their pasture in the deep wood.
The connection of prehistoric footprints with sacred sites and places of sepulture would indicate that they had a religious significance an idea still further strengthened by the fact of their being frequently associated with holy wells and groves, and with cup-shaped marks on cromlechs or sacrificial altars, which are supposed to have been used for the purpose of receiving libations; while their universal distribution points to a hoary antiquity, when a primitive natural cultus spread over the whole earth, traces of which are found in every land, behind the more elaborate and systematic faith which afterwards took its place.
One thinks of those Greek mariners coasting past this promontory, and pouring libations to the Siren into an ocean on whose untrampled floor the countryman now sows his rice and turnips. Paganisme immortel, es-tu mort? On le dit. Mais Pan, tout bas, s'en moque, et la Sirene en rit. They are still here, both sea and Siren; they have only agreed to separate for a while.
Slow and Bideawhile. He became angry as he drank his port, and in his anger he swore that it should be so. And then as his anger became hot at the close of his libations, he remembered that Martha Biggs was up stairs, and became more angry still.
These maidens, Asclepiodorus says, are now too old and ugly for these duties, but the temple is bound to maintain them all their lives. The funds of the temple are insufficient to support two more serving maidens besides them and us, and so Arsinoe and Doris are only to pour out the libations for the future, and we are to sing the laments, and do the wailing."
'I recognise the god of poetry and light, said Tancred; 'Phoebus Apollo. 'Our god: the god of Antioch, the god of the sacred grove! Who could look upon him, and doubt his deity! 'Is this indeed the figure, murmured Tancred, 'before which a hundred steers have bled? before which libations of honeyed wine were poured from golden goblets? that lived in a heaven of incense? 'Ah! you know all.
The Tutor counsels revenge; though a slave, he will work for her to the end. "Only one thing brings shame to a slave, his name. In all else he is every whit the equal of a free man, if he is honest." The two decide to poison Ion when he offers libations. But the plot failed owing to a singular chance. The birds in the temple tasted the wine and one that touched Ion's cup died immediately.
