To Destineverb
Etymology: destino, Latin.
Wherefore cease we then?
Say they who counsel war: we are decreed,
Reserv’d, and destin’d to eternal woe:
Whatever doing, what can we suffer more? John Milton, Pa. Lost.All altars flame; before each altar lies,
Drench’d in his gore, the destin’d sacrifice. John Dryden, Æneis.Too thin blood strays into the immediately subordinate vessels, which are destined to carry humours secreted from the blood. John Arbuthnot, on Aliments.
May heav’n around this destin’d head
The choicest of its curses shed. Matthew Prior.The infernal judge’s dreadful pow’r,
From the dark urn shall throw thy destin’d hour. Matthew Prior.
