Can he, who liv'd but in thy gracious smiles, Who'd pine, if chance those smiles a single hour Were dealt him thriftily; think, can he bear The infamy of exile ? EDGAR. Hear me, Athelwold, Did I not show'r on thy much-favour'd head My thickest honours, and with gift so ready As out-run all request ?

الصفحة 91 - fore th' autumnal moon ? When, in undulating twine, The foaming snakes prolific join ; When they hiss, and when they bear Their wond'rous egg aloof in air ; Thence, before to earth it fall, The Druid, in his hallow'd pall, Receives the prize ; And instant flies, Follow'd by th' envenom'd brood, 'Till he cross the chrystal flood. SEMICHORUS. Druid, these, in order meet, Are all prepar'd.

الصفحة 141 - ... thee no atonement : None, alas ! Thy father scarce can bless thee, as he ought ; Unblest himself, beset with foes around, Bereft of queen, of kingdom, and of soldiers, He can but give thee portion of his dangers, Perchance and of his chains : Yet droop not, boy, Virtue is still thine own.
