Note 70 — PART I. NOTES ON VIRGINIA. (continued 5)
Reading edition
This is one generation more than the poet ascribes to the life of Nestor:
Tö d' ede duo men geneai meropö anthröpön Ephthiath oi oi prosthen ama traphen ed' egneonto En Pulö egathee, meta de tritatoisin anassen. II. Hom. II. 250.
Two generations now had passed away, Wise by his rules, and happy by his sway; Two ages o'er his native realm he reign'd, And now th' example of the third remained. Pope.
