Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ariston a Tragedy From the Old Grecian Life
Ariston, stand! Stand like a man, and be once more thy self No overloaded ship out on the sea, And struck by winds, and bang'd by spiteful waves, Would toss and veer in such a staggering way. Iolo. How beautiful the rule of not too much That bound where wine brings sparkle to the wit, But not a ?ame to craze, and burn the brain philippon. A first glass shunn'd, no second could make harm Our gods may err to ever crown our feasts, Since where none touch, none then can turn to beasts.
