in the games; and no one
lacks zest for the festival, but all find in it
that which flatters
their pride,
the spectators
when they see
the athletes exert themselves for their
benefit,
the athletes
when they
reflect that all the world is
come to gaze upon them.
Since, then, the benefits which accrue to us
from our assembling together are so great, here
again our city has not

He is entering with
his bride at his side, whose beauty no human tongue
can express; in his hand he brandishes the lightning,
the winged shaft
of Zeus; [1715] perfumes of
unspeakable sweetness pervade the

wafting
in light whirlwinds before the breath of the

Matt. 27:57 When the even was
come,
there came a rich man of Arimathaea,
named Joseph,
who also himself was
Jesus’ disciple:
Matt. 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them,

unto me in heaven
and in earth.
Matt. 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach [matheteuo

all nations,
baptizing them in the name
of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

all things whatsoever
I have commanded
you:
and, lo, I am with you
alway, even unto the
end of the world. Amen

Now, if you think that you and the
army that you lead are immortal, I have no
business giving you
advice;
but if you know that you
and those whom you
rule are only men,
then I
must first teach you this: men's fortunes are on a
wheel,
which in its
turning does not allow the same man to prosper
