第 119 頁 - For ornament, not use, these arms are worn; This helm, and heavy buckler, I can spare; As only decorations of the war: So Mars is arm'd for glory, not for need.

第 102 頁 - Hetwcen us both in vain this lass confln'd " 520 Were numerous as his hairs a husband's eyes, A wife's deceit would every watch surprise. A thousand women we before have try'd, Yet found not one our amorous suit deny'd. A second thousand like the first would fall : But this last proof may well suffice for all.
第 260 頁 - What gives me joy, to lying dreams I owe, What gives me pain, from waking truths I know. ,As shadows vain my fleeting bliss removes; But, ah ! my constant woe no shadow proves. Why flies, alas ! from waking eye or ear, 450 What late I seem'd to see, what late to hear? What are ye, wretched eyes ! that clos'd can show Each wish'd-for joy, and open but to woe? Sleep soothes with hope of peace my future life, But when I wake, I wake to pain and strife.
第 169 頁 - To rind spots in the sun. (The height of judgment does not stoop.) God's justice is not diverted from its course. What state of man such rapture can impart As the soft passions of an amorous heart ? What life so blest as his, decreed to prove With pleasing chains the servitude of Love ? — Hoole.
第 77 頁 - Ingrate and impious, plagues of human kind !" Complaining thus, the king of Sarza rode, Now murmur'd low, now rais'd his voice aloud, Heard far and wide ; with undistinguish'd blame, At once involving all the female name. 900...
