II. 2.

Events, which strike man’s wondering eyes,

From a variety of causes rise.

For fame relates how Pallas saved the sire,

And from her city far renowned,

Her race, protection have the children found;

She hath suppressed th’ o’erweening tyrant’s ire,

Whose violence no laws could ere control;

Curse on such boundless pride, that fever of the soul.
