urget: lies heavy on, weighs down (his eyelids). Cf. 4. 9. 27; premet, 1. 4. 16; Verg. Aen. 10. 745, dura quies oculos et ferreus urget | somnus, etc.; Lucret. 3. 893, urgerive superne obtritum pondere terrae.—cui: his peer. The emphasis of the introductory relative italicizes the English demonstrative that must take its place.—Pudor: Αἰδώς. The Greek and Roman religion made these capitalized abstractions more real to the ancients than they can be to us, disgusted with their rhetorical use in eighteenth century poetry. Cf. C. S. 57. Cf. Preller-Jordan, 1. 250, for Fides; Gaston Boissier, Relig. Rom. 1. 8; Axtell, Deification of Abstract Ideas, 20.—soror: so Pind. O. 13. 6.
