Note 19 — Chapter XI · ENGLISH ESSAYISTS OF THE GEORGIAN ERA.
Reading edition
Two urns by Jove's high throne have ever stood, The source of evil one, and one of good; From thence the cup of mortal man he fills, Blessings to those, to those distributes ills; To most he mingles both: the wretch decreed To taste the bad, unmixed, is curst indeed; Pursu'd by wrongs, by meagre famine driven, He wanders, outcast both of earth and heaven. Pope's Hom. Il. XIV. ver. 863.
