الصفحة 233 - God, rarely bestowed, but yet to some (though most abuse) in every nation; and are of power, beside the office of a pulpit, to imbreed and cherish in a great people the seeds of virtue and public civility, to allay the perturbations of the mind, and set the affections in right tune; to celebrate in glorious and lofty hymns the throne and equipage of God's almightiness...
الصفحة 232 - But those frequent songs throughout the law and prophets beyond all these, not in their divine argument alone, but in the very critical art of composition, may be easily made appear over all the kinds of lyric poesy to be incomparable.
الصفحة 232 - Time serves not now, and perhaps I might seem too profuse to give any certain account of what the mind at home, in the spacious circuits of her musing, hath liberty to propose to herself, though of highest hope and hardest attempting; whether that epic form whereof the two poems of Homer and those other two of Virgil and Tasso are a diffuse, and the book of Job a brief model...
الصفحة 60 - Haste thee, Nymph, and bring with thee Jest, and youthful Jollity, Quips and cranks, and wanton wiles, Nods and becks, and wreathed smiles, Such as hang on Hebe's cheek, And love to live in dimple sleek ; Sport that wrinkled Care derides, And Laughter holding both his sides.
الصفحة 162 - ... parley ended, our ambitious Grandam, Who onely yet did heart and eye abandon, Against the Lord, now farther doth proceed, And hand and mouth makes guilty of the deed.

الصفحة 215 - Cowley found himself to be a poet, or, as he himself tells us, ' was made one,' by the delight he took in Spenser's Fairy Queen, ' which was wont to lay in his mother's apartment ;' and which he had read all over, before he was twelve years old. That Dryden was, in some degree, similarly indebted to Cowley, we may collect from his denominating him ' the darling of my youth, the famous Cowley.
الصفحة 119 - Before all Time, all Matter, Form, and Place, God all in all, and all in God it was : Immutable, immortall, infinite, Incomprehensible, all spirit, all light, All Majestie...
الصفحة 11 - nothing can be further from my intention than to insinuate that Milton was a plagiarist or servile imitator; but I conceive that, having read these sacred poems of very high merit, at the immediate age when his own mind was just beginning to teem with poetry, he retained numberless thoughts, passages, and expressions therein, so deeply in his mind, that they hung inherently on his imagination, and became as it were naturalized there. Hence many of them were afterwards insensibly transfused into...
الصفحة 127 - Not that they have the bridle on their neck, To run at random without curb or check, T abuse the Earth, and all the World to blinde. And tyrannize o're body and o're minde. God holds them chain'd in Fetters of his Power ; That, without leave, one minute of an houre They cannot range. It was by his permission, The Lying Spirit train'd...
