225 "Where yon disorder'd heap of ruin lies,  
Stones rent from stones,--where clouds of dust arise,--  
Amid that smother, Neptune holds his place,  
Below the wall's foundation drives his mace,  
And heaves the building from the solid base."  
Dryden's Virgil, ii. 825.

26 --Why boast we.  
"Wherefore do I assume  
These royalties and not refuse to reign,  
Refusing to accept as great a share  
Of hazard as of honour, due alike to him  
Who reigns, and so much to him due  
Of hazard more, as he above the rest  
High honour'd sits."  
--"Paradise Lost," ii. 450.

27 --Each equal weight.  
"Long time in even scale  
The battle hung."
