第 100 頁 - Loses discountenanc'd, and like Folly shows ; Authority and Reason on her wait, As one intended first, not after made Occasionally ; and, to consummate all, Greatness of mind and Nobleness their seat Build in her loveliest, and create an awe About her, as a guard angelick plac'd.
第 100 頁 - Yet when I approach Her loveliness, so absolute she seems And in herself complete, so well to know Her own, that what she wills to do or say, Seems wisest, virtuousest, discreetest, best.

第 179 頁 - I not make you sensible of that uneasiness which preys upon the great, and the difficulty they labour under to employ their time ?

It was necessery, therefore, that madam de Maintenon should obliterate madam Scarron. In the mean time, her elevation was to her only a retreat. Shut up in her apartment, which was on the same floor with the king's, she confined herself to the society of two or three ladies, as retired as herself; and even these she saw but seldom....
第 167 頁 - I do not look upon you," she said, in dying, " as a person whose error has cost me my life, but as a benefactor, who advances my entry into a happy immortality. As the •world may judge otherwise,! have put you in a situation, by my will, to quit your profession...

第 194 頁 - Where ever-restless, busy Strife, Leaves look'd-for Happiness behind. There flattery o'er my youthful cheek Has spread a momentary glow ; There vanity has made me seek The gilded roofs of hidden woe. There have I seen neglected Worth, Abash'd, decline her honest head, While Vice in gaudy robes came forth ; By Pride and Adulation led.
