Cessas in vota procesque,
Tros, ait, Aenea, cessas? Neque enim ante dehiscent
Adtonitœ magna ora domus.—VIRGIL.
"Nay!" quoth the Sybil, "Trojan! wilt thou spare
The impassioned effort and the conquering prayer?
Nay! not save thus those doors shall open roll,—
That Power within them burst upon the soul."
