What great Effects from slender Causes flow!

Oppian's Halieuticks (1722)

So All is diff’rent, and yet All is One.

Oppian's Halieuticks (1722)

Oft cruel Wars contending Hermits wage,
And long for the disputed Shell engage.
The strongest will the doubtful Prize possess,
Pow’r gives him Right, and All the Claim confess.

Oppian's Halieuticks (1722)
