Excerpt from Miscellaneous Works of Edward Gibbon, Esquire, Vol. 3 of 3: With Memoirs of His Life and Writings, Composed by Himself; Illustrated From His Letters, With Occasional Notes and Narrative I read Orvid': Fażz', L. y p. 630 - 643. The poet's genius ennobles every objeét; even nine black beans thrown/behind the back,' to which he gives an air of folemnity, and even of fublimity. He chieży employs that doubtful and faint colouring which renders obje<§ts more terrible, by fhewing them partially and confufedly; filenre, obfcurity, the {hadow which follows us with light ileps, and which we dare not look behind us to fee; all fhefe touches belong to that kind of fublimiuy which is well pointed out by Mr. Burke The temple of Jupiter the avenger mul'c have been magnificent. The Worfhip of the Pagans had at leafl; more confil'cency than that of the Catholics. Mars the avenger punifhes the murderers of a great warrior, his defcendant. This is more natural than the interference of an apofile or hermit in wars and white ties; and wars eften undertaken merely for worldly intereżs. February -i went to the library to confult the article Flam in Bayle's Dictionary. Laé'cantius too well imitates the fathers of his age. The Floral games, founded A. U. 'c. 5 p4, firż: celebrated occafionally, afterwards rendered annual in 5 80, by an order of the fenate, and their expense defrayed by money levied on fines; all this has not any refemy blance to' the tefiamentary arrangement of a crurtefan.
