Pàgina 35 - Besides, this Duncan Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been So clear in his great office, that his virtues Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued, against The deep damnation of his taking-off...
Pàgina xii - Whether th' immortal Gods he sings, In a no less immortal strain, Or the great acts of God-descended kings, Who in his numbers still survive and reign, Each rich embroidered line, Which their triumphant brows around, By his sacred hand is bound, Does all their starry diadems outshine.

Pàgina 24 - Soft is the strain when Zephyr gently blows, And the smooth stream in smoother numbers flows ; But when loud surges lash the sounding shore, The hoarse, rough verse should like the torrent roar: When Ajax strives some rock's vast weight to throw, The line too labours, and the words move slow : Not so, when swift Camilla scours the plain, Flies o'er th' unbending corn, and skims along the main.
