If imagined wrongs Pursued thee, urging thee sometimes to do Things long regretted, oft, as many know, None more than I, thy gratitude would build On slight foundations : and, if in thy life Not happy, in thy death thou surely wert, Thy wish accomplished...
Página 503 - O, but for that series of wretched wars which terminated in the Roman conquest of the world ; but for the Christian religion, which put the finishing stroke on the ancient system ; but for those changes that conducted Athens to its ruin, — to what an eminence might not humanity have arrived !
