L. 77. _animées_, appearing alive, of course, like the 'animated marble'
of Pope, _Temple of Fame_, 73.
Ll. 77, 78. _Od._ vii. 100, 'Youths forged of gold, at every table
there, Stood holding flaming torches.'--CHAPMAN. Cf. Lucretius, ii. 24.
L. 84. _lits teints._ _Aen._ i. 708, which Dryden translates 'The
painted couches.'
L. 86. _Est admise_: exceptionally, for women, as a rule, did not sit at
the same table with the men.
L. 89. _Et déjà vins_, &c. The ellipsis of the verb imparts greater
vivacity to the narrative. The unexpected interruption is therefore made
more abrupt.
L. 93. _s'assied parmi la cendre._ _Od._, vii. 153: '[Ulysses] went to
the hearth, and in the ashes sat,' CHAPMAN; 'as the custom was in those
days when any would make a petition to the throne,' adds Lamb by way of
commentary, _Adventures of Ulysses_, vi.
L. 94. _Od._ vii, 144, 145. '...His view With silence and with
admiration strook The court quite through.'--CHAPMAN.
Ll. 97-100. Hesiod, _Theog._ 84. _De l'Olympe envoyé_, ibid. 97.
L. 98. _Semblent d'un roi._ Elliptical for _semblent être d'un roi_.
_Être de_ itself is elliptical for _de être celui, ceux_. The French
idiom has its English equivalent in 'My kingdom _is_ not _of_ this
world.'
