Pàgina 165 - At cards for kisses — Cupid paid; He stakes his quiver, bow and arrows, His mother's doves, and team of sparrows ; Loses them too; then down he throws The coral of his lip, the rose Growing on's cheek (but none knows how), With these, the crystal of his brow, And then the dimple of his chin ; All these did my Campaspe win. At last he set her both his eyes, She won, and Cupid blind did rise. O Love! has she done this to thee? What shall, alas! become of me?* THE SONGS OF BIRDS.
Pàgina 33 - No further seek his merits to disclose, Or draw his frailties from their dread abode — There they alike in trembling hope repose — The bosom of his Father and his God.
Pàgina 165 - Growing on's cheek (but none knows how); With these, the crystal of his brow, And then the dimple of his chin; All these did my Campaspe win. At last he set her both his eyes; She won, and Cupid blind did rise. О Love! has she done this to thee? What shall, alas, become of me? SONG (FROM CAMPASPE) WHAT bird so sings, yet so does wail? Oh, 'tis the ravished nightingale. "Jug, jug, jug, jug, tereu!
Pàgina 163 - I met Murder on the way — He had a mask like Castlereagh — Very smooth he looked, yet grim ; Seven blood-hounds followed him : All were fat ; and well they might Be in admirable plight, For one by one, and two by two, He tossed them human hearts to chew Which from his wide cloak he drew.
Pàgina 28 - The boast of heraldry, the pomp of pow'r, And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave, Await alike th' inevitable hour : The paths of glory lead but to the grave.
Pàgina 166 - The Earth goes on the Earth glittering with gold ; The Earth goes to the Earth sooner than it wold ; The Earth builds on the Earth castles and towers ; The Earth says to the Earth, All this is ours.
Pàgina 29 - And froze the genial current of the soul. Full many a gem of purest ray serene The dark unfathom'd caves of ocean bear : Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air.
Pàgina 169 - First, This may be a caution to all Maidens of Quality how, without their Parents consent, they run away with Blackamoors [. . .] Secondly, This may be a warning to all good Wives that they look well to their Linnen. Thirdly, This may be a lesson to Husbands, that before their Jealousie be Tragical the proofs may be Mathematical.
Pàgina 168 - ... of substituting the cause for the effect. This mutual likeness is the occasion, not the result of marriage. Every man, like Narcissus, becomes enamoured of the reflection of himself, only choosing a substance instead of a shadow. His love for any particular woman is self-love at second hand, vanity reflected, compound egotism. When he sees himself in the mirror of a female face, he exclaims, " How intelligent, how amiable, how interesting ! — how admirably adapted for a wife !" and forthwith...
Pàgina 103 - Whene'er he went to pray. A kind and gentle heart he had, To comfort friends and foes; The naked every day he clad, When he put on his clothes. And in that town a dog was found, As many dogs there be, Both mongrel, puppy, whelp and hound, And curs of low degree.
