Note 439 — RAPE OF THE LOCK.
Reading edition
Nescia mens hominum fati sortisque futuræ; Et servare modum, rebus sublata secundis! Turno tempus erit magno cum optaverit emptum Intactum Pallanta; et cum spolia ista diemque Oderit. Virg.—Warburton.
Dryden's Translation, x. 698:
O mortals! blind of fate; who never know To bear high fortune, or endure the low! The time shall come, when Turnus, but in vain, Shall wish untouched the trophies of the slain: Shall wish the fatal belt were far away; And curse the dire remembrance of the day.—Wakefield.
