This act of generous devotion has often been commended. […] This fable has the same meaning with that of Proserpine herself. […] Men who are delivered from danger and fear, feel lively gratitude to their deliverer; they admire his generosity and courage; he has exposed his life for their security; he has endangered himself, but he has preserved them. […] Castor killed Lynceus, and has killed Pollux. […] Earth has sunk in ocean’s bed!
