Page 176 - I could a tale unfold whose lightest word Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood, Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres, Thy knotted and combined locks to part And each particular hair to stand on end, Like quills upon the fretful porcupine : But this eternal blazon must not be To ears of flesh and blood.

Page 276 - Fill the wide circle of the eternal year : Stern winter smiles on that auspicious clime : The fields are florid with unfading prime ; From the bleak pole no winds inclement blow, Mould the round hail, or flake the fleecy snow ; But from the breezy deep the blest inhale The fragrant murmurs of the western gale.
Page 29 - The virtues which he poflefled as a man, have entitled him to greater admiration and praife, than have been beftowed upon the extenfive genius, and fortunate arts of a more capable, but Iefs amiable rival.
Page 253 - tis Cupid's fire : Yet all so fair but speak my moan, Sith nought doth say the heart of stone.
Page 192 - But the king, misled by evil counsellors, or through a seduced heart, hath left his parliament, under God the best assurance of his crown and family.
