This noble passage, as the commentators have observed, is the origin of the one in Milton where the Greek orators are spoken of: --Paradise Reg. Book 4. v. 267. " Thence to the famous orators repair, " Those ancient, whose resistless eloquence " Wielded at will that fierce democratic, " Shook the arsenal, and thundered over Greece."

" Seeing his face so lovely stern, and coy," is a line in Spencer.--See Milton Parad. Lost, Book 4. v. 844. " So spake the Cherub; and his grave rebuke, " Severe in youthful beauty, added grace " Invincible."--Otway somewhere has " Lovelily dreadful." Note 24, page 7. Bared in my own proper presence to talk Of that stuff of Aversa, half acid and chalk. I have taken the liberty of thus expressing the roughness implied by the name of this wine, ...
