Leontius.―― That power that kindly spreadsThe clouds, a signal of impending showers,To warn the wandering linnet to the shade,Beheld without concern expiring Greece,And not one prodigy foretold our fate.Demetrius. A thousand horrid prodigies foretold it:A feeble government, eluded laws,A factious populace, luxurious nobles,And all the maladies of sinking states.When public villany, too strong for justice,Shows his bold front, the harbinger of ruin,Can brave Leontius call for airy wonders,Which cheats interpret, and which fools regard?
