REMAINS OF HESIOD.
And these will some, and those will others praise,
But few are versed in mysteries of days.
In this a step-mother's stern hate we prove,
In that the mildness of a mother's love.

Who skill'd in these fulfils his ministry:
He to whose note the auguries are given,
No rite transgress'd, and void of blame to heav'n.
