Virgil Quotes

Swift Is Her Walk, More Swift Her Winged Haste: A Monstrous Phantom, Horrible And Vast. As Many Plumes As Raise Her Lofty Flight, So Many Piercing Eyes Inlarge Her Sight; Millions Of Opening Mouths To Fame Belong, And Ev'ry Mouth Is Furnish'd With A Tongue, And Round With List'ning Ears The Flying Plague Is Hung. She Fills The Peaceful Universe With Cries; No Slumbers Ever Close Her Wakeful Eyes; By Day, From Lofty Tow'rs Her Head She Shews, And Spreads Thro' Trembling Crowds Disastrous News; With Court Informers Haunts, And Royal Spies; Things Done Relates, Not Done She Feigns, And Mingles Truth With Lies. Talk Is Her Business, And Her Chief Delight To Tell Of Prodigies And Cause Affright.
