Jove quotes

His body was as straight as Circe's wand; Jove might have sipped out nectar from his hand.

- Christopher Marlowe
  Hero and Leander (published1598), pt.1, l.61^2.

Before the starry threshold of Jove's court My mansion is, where those immortal shapes Of bright aerial spirits live inspher'd In regions mild of calm and serene air, Above the smoke and stir of this dim spot, Which men call earth.

-John Milton
  Comus,  A Mask, opening lines.

Books and the Man I sing, the first who brings The Smithfield Muses to the Ear of Kings. Say great Patricians! (since your selves inspire These wond'rous works; so Jove and Fate require) Say from what cause, in vain decry'd and curst, Still Dunce the second reigns like Dunce the first?

- Alexander Pope
  The Dunciad, bk.1, l.1^6.
