Pàgina 11 - Phlegra with the heroic race were joined That fought at Thebes and Ilium, on each side Mixed with auxiliar gods ; and what resounds In fable or romance of Uther's son Begirt with British and Armoric knights...
Pàgina 134 - Through thee the horror of the lonely mountain Pleased me no less than the resort of men ; The breeze, the summer wood, and lucid fountain, The purple rose, white lily of the lake, Were sweet for thy sweet sake ; For thee the fragrant primrose, dropt with dew, Was wished when first it blew ! Oh how completely was I in all this Myself deceiving ! oh the different part That thou wert acting, covering with a kiss Of seeming love, the traitor in thy heart...
Pàgina 135 - On him thy harshness kills ; in gentle woe, Flow forth, my tears, 'tis meet that ye should flow! But though thou wilt not come for my sad sake, Leave not the landscape thou hast held so dear; Thou may'st come freely now, without the fear Of meeting me, for though my heart should break, Where late forsaken I will now forsake. Come then, if this alone detains thee, here Are meadows full of verdure, myrtles, bays, Woodlands, and lawns, and running waters clear, Beloved in other days, To which, bedewed...
Pàgina 135 - As at the set of sun the shades extend, And when its circle sinks, that dark obscure Rises to shroud the world, on which attend The images that set our hair on end, Silence, and shapes mysterious as the grave : Till the broad sun sheds, once more, from the wave His lively lustre, beautiful and pure ; Such shapes were in the night, and such ill gloom At thy departure ; still tormenting fear Haunts, and must haunt me, until death shall doom The so much wish'd for sun to re-appear, Of thine angelic...
Pàgina 135 - tis meet that ye should flow ! How oft, when slumbering in the forest brown, (Deeming it Fancy's mystical deceit,) Have I beheld my fate in dreams foreshown ! One day, methought that from the noontide heat I drove my flocks to drink of Tagus...
Pàgina 80 - Where belly-timber above ground, Or under, was not to be found ; Unless they grazed, there's not one word Of their provision on record ; Which made some confidently write, They had no stomachs but to fight.
Pàgina 135 - ... forsaken, I will now forsake. Come then, if this alone detains thee, here Are meadows full of verdure, myrtles, bays, Woodlands, and lawns, and running waters clear, Beloved in other days, To which, bedewed with many a bitter tear, I sing my last of lays. These scenes, perhaps, when I am far removed, At ease, thou wilt frequent With him who rifled me of all I loved. Enough ! my strength is spent; And leaving thee in his desired embrace, It is not much to leave him this sweet place.
Pàgina 242 - If a person were to come suddenly into a church, or a court of justice, playing the fandango or the bolero, priests, judges, lawyers, criminals, audience, one and all, grave and gay, young and old, would quit their functions, forget all their, distinctions, and commence dancing.
Pàgina 134 - Through thee the silence of the shaded glen, Through thee the horror of the lonely mountain Pleased me no less than the resort of men ; The breeze, the summer wood, and lucid fountain...
Pàgina 131 - I give you a thousand thanks,' said Sancho; 'but I must tell your worship that, provided I have plenty, I can eat as much, nay more to my satisfaction, standing on my legs, and in my own company, than if I was to sit by the side of an emperor; and if all the truth must be told, I had much rather dine by myself in a corner, though it should be upon a bit of bread and an onion, without all your niceties and ceremonies, than eat turkey-cocks at another man's table, where I am obliged to chew softly,...
