Both Uses of
callow
in
The Aeneid
- As, when the dove her rocky hold forsakes, Rous'd in a fright, her sounding wings she shakes; The cavern rings with clatt'ring; out she flies, And leaves her callow care, and cleaves the skies: At first she flutters; but at length she springs To smoother flight, and shoots upon her wings: So Mnestheus in the Dolphin cuts the sea; And, flying with a force, that force assists his way.†
Book 5
- Then, past a boy, the callow down began To shade my chin, and call me first a man.†
Book 8 *
