Statues
 
Statues of men, scarce less alive than they!
        Pope.—To Mr. Addison, Epi. V. Line 10.		  1
Then marble, soften’d into life, grew warm.
        Pope.—To Augustus, Epi. I. Line 147.		  2
The pregnant quarry teem’d with human form.
        Goldsmith.—The Traveller, Line 138.		  3
So stands the statue that enchants the world,
So bending tries to veil the matchless boast,
The mingled beauties of exulting Greece.
        Thomson.—Summer.		  4
Through the live features of one breathing stone.
        Thomson.—Liberty, Part II.		  5
        Each dimple sunk,
And every muscle swell’d as nature taught.
        Thomson.—Liberty, Part II.		  6
