8 페이지 - poil, and press it with their feet ; Then in the bags, which nature's hand has twin'd Around their legs, a safe conveyance find. Nor yet their labours cease ; their time they pass In rolling on the leaves, until the mass Clings to their bodies, then in wild career, Loaded with booty«.
61 페이지 - Europe, and her state, and various ways, In happy ignorance they pass their days ; Content against their foes to make a stand, And chase all sects, all atheists from the land. Around their harbours cottages they keep, Built on the margin of the brawling deep; There with kind aid the mariners supply, But further hospitality deny. His road no traveller must there pursue, Their laws, their manners, and their towns to view. While thus they live, unknowing, and unknown, Free from the ills that make poor...
67 페이지 - The curiosities of the place are showed him in company with the Jesuit, and he can have no private conversation with any of the natives. In a reasonable time, he is civilly dismissed, with a guard to conduct him to the next district, without expense, where he is treated in the same manner, until he is out of the country of the missions.
68 페이지 - I .am sensible, that many have represented the conduct of the Jesuits in this mission in a very bad light; but their .reflections appear to me not at all supported by the facts upon which they build them. To judge perfectly of the service they have done their people, we must not consider them...
66 페이지 - On these terms, the Jesuits entered upon the scene of action, and opened their spiritual campaign. They began by gathering together about fifty wandering families, whom they persuaded to settle ; and they united them into a little township.
66 페이지 - We are far from being able to trace, with the exactness they deserve, all the steps which were taken in the accomplishment of so extraordinary a conquest over the bodies and minds of so many people, without arms or violence; and differently from the methods of all other conquests; not by cutting off a large part of the inhabitants to secure the rest, but by multiplying their people, whilst they extended their territory. Their own accounts are not very ample, and they are partial to themselves without...
62 페이지 - With savage herds, themselves as savages grown, The natives roam'd no duty understood, Fierce, naked, wild, mere tenants of the wood, Till late instructed in the Christian lore They hail their God, fall prostrate and adore. Fair peace and moral laws they now maintain, And harmony and virtue round them reign. These arts Ignatius' sons, these pious deeds Spring from your zeal — your mission thus succeeds.
xiii 페이지 - Poet could do in the defcription of what was really great, by his defcribing the mock-grandeur of an infeft with fo good a grace. There is more pleafantnefs in the little platform of a garden, which he gives us about the middle of this Book, than in all the fpacious walks and water- works of Rapin. The fpeech of Proteus at the end can never be enough admired, and was indeed very fit to conclude fo divine a work. After this particular account of the beauties in the Georgics, I...
xxi 페이지 - Des rosés et des lis le plus superbe éclat, Sans la fable, en nos vers, n'aura rien que de plat. Qu'on y peigne en savant une plante nourrie Des impures vapeurs d'une terre pourrie, Le portrait plaira-t-il, s'il n'a pour agrément Les larmes d'une amante ou le sang d'un amant ? Qu'aura de beau la guerre, à moins qu'on n'y crayonne Ici le char de Mars, là celui de Bellone ; Que la Victoire vole, et que les grands...
60 페이지 - ... their battles Cincinnatus fought, How the wise senate in his absence thought. His house and farm requir'd the ablest hands, To give the victor his well cultur'd lands. They were his farmers ; for his private gain Tended his flock, his plants, his household train. At Paraguay no separate lands we see, But for the public all is held in fee. They love the warrior, in his country's cause Who draws his sword for freedom and the laws. The warriors there the scythe or javelin wield, SoHiers in field...
