speaker_3NARRATOR
so he spake and from heaven father zeus himself gave confirmation to his words and commanded that glorious hermes should be lord over all birds of omen and grim-eyed lions and boars with gleaming tusks and over dogs and all flocks that the wide earth nourishes and over all sheep also that he only should be the appointed messenger to hades who though he takes no gift shall give him no mean prize thus the lord apollo showed his kindness for the son of maia by all manner of friendship and the son of cronos gave him grace besides he consorts with all mortals and immortals a little he profits but continually throughout the dark night he cousins the tribes of mortal men And so, farewell, son of Zeus and Maia, but I will remember you, and another song also.

End of Section 4 Section 5 of Homeric Hymns, Epigrams, and Battle of Frogs and Mice by Homer To Aphrodite Muse, tell me the deeds of golden Aphrodite the Cyprian, who stirs up sweet passion in the gods, and subdues the tribes of mortal men, and birds that fly in air, and all the many creatures that the dry land rears, and all that the sea.
speaker_3NARRATOR
all these love the deeds of rich-crowned cytherea yet there are three hearts that she cannot bend nor yet ensnare first is the daughter of zeus who holds the ages bright-eyed athena for she has no pleasure in the deeds of golden aphrodite but delights in wars and in the work of ares in strifes and battles and in preparing famous crafts she first taught earthly craftsmen to make chariots of war and cars variously wrought with bronze and she too teaches tender maidens in the house and puts knowledge of goodly arts in each one's mind nor does laughter-loving aphrodite ever tame in love artemis the huntress with shafts of gold for she loves archery and the slaying of wild beasts in the mountains, the lyre also, and dancing and thrilling cries and shady woods and the cities of upright men.

Nor yet does the pure maiden Hestia love Aphrodite's works.

To Demeter I begin to sing of rich-haired Demeter, awful goddess, of her and her trim-ankled daughter, whom Idoneus rapt away, given to him by all-seeing Zeus, the loud thunderer.
Alan MapstoneVOICE_ACTOR
Apart from Demeter, lady of the golden sword and glorious fruits, she was playing with the deep-bosom daughters of Oceanus and gathering flowers over a soft meadow, roses and crocuses and beautiful violets, irises also, and hyacinths and the narcissus which earth made to grow at the will of zeus and to please the host of many to be a snare for the bloom-like girl a marvellous radiant flower it was a thing of awe whether for deathless gods or mortal men to see from its root grew a hundred blooms and it smelled most sweetly so that all wide heaven above and the whole earth in the sea's salt swell laughed for joy and the girl was amazed, and reached out with both hands to take the lovely toy.

Thomas CopelandNARRATOR
The greatest in truth is wholly absent, and it is remarkable that although Herrick may have joined in the wit contests and genialities of the literary clubs in London soon after Shakespeare's death, and certainly lived in friendship with some who had known him, yet his name is never mentioned in the poetical commemorations of the asperities in herrick echoes from fletcher's idyllic pieces in the faithful shepherdess are faintly traceable from his songs hear what love can do and the lusty spring more distinctly but to ben jonson whom Herrick addresses as his patron saint in song and ranks on the highest list of his friends, his obligations are much more perceptible.
Thomas CopelandNARRATOR
In fact, Johnson's non-dramatic poetry, the Epigrams and Forest of 1616, the Underwoods of 1641, he died in 1637, supply models, generally admirable in court of art, though of very unequal merit in their execution and contents, of the principal forms under which we may range Herak's disparities.
Thomas CopelandNARRATOR
The graceful love-song, the celebration of feasts and wit, the encomia of friends, the epigram, as then understood, are all here represented.
Thomas CopelandNARRATOR
Even Herrick's vein of natural description is prefigured in the Odes to Penshurst and Sir Robert Roth of 1616, and it is in the religious pieces of the noble numbers, for which Johnson afforded the least copious precedence, that, as a rule, Herrick is least successful.

To dogmatism the spirit of inquiry is the same as the spirit of evil, and to pictures of the latter it appends a tale to represent the note of interrogation.
