Juvenal


Without favor, art is like a wind-mill without wind.	1
Cries as deafening, as the shout that breaks from the bribed audience, when Fesidius speaks.	2
Fierce as a tigress plundered of her young.	3
Apples, as fragrant, and as bright a hue, as those which in Alcinou’s gardens grew, mellowed by constant sunshine; or as those, which graced the Hesperides, in burnished rows.	4
Invisible as air.	5
Shouts like Egypt, when her priests have found, A new Osiris, for the old one drowned.	6
