Royal Academy
Tasso's Jerusalem Delivered. Royal Academy (1822). by Robert Seymour.
- "The Christians deterred by the terrors of enchantment,
- from felling timber to construct their machines of annoyance.
- And three succeeding days the boldest warriors, urged by thirst of praise,
- Assayed the dreary wood, but struck with dread,
- Each knight by turns the threat’ning terror fled."
- Assayed the dreary wood, but struck with dread,
- And three succeeding days the boldest warriors, urged by thirst of praise,
- from felling timber to construct their machines of annoyance.
