Verse 12
Why doth thine heart carry thee away? - Why is it that thou dost conceive and entertain such high sentiments of thyself?
And what do thy eyes wink at - With what splendid opinion of thyself is thine eye dazzled? Perhaps there is an allusion here to that sparkling in the eye which is excited by sensations of joy and pleasing objects of sight, or to that furious rolling of the eyes observed in deranged persons. Rosenmuller translates thus: -
Quo te tuus animus rapit?
Quid occuli tui vibrantes?
Be the first to react on this!
