الصفحة 74 - Flying between the cold moon and the earth, Cupid all arm'd : a certain aim he took At a fair vestal throned by the west, And loosed his love-shaft smartly from his bow, As it should pierce a hundred thousand hearts : But I might see young Cupid's fiery shaft Quench'd in the chaste beams of the watery moon, And the imperial votaress passed on, In maiden meditation, fancy-free.
الصفحة 88 - Because I oft in dark abstracted guise Seem most alone in greatest company, With dearth of words, or answers quite awry, To them that would make speech of speech arise ; They deem, and of their doom the rumour flies, That poison foul of bubbling Pride doth lie So in my swelling breast, that only I Fawn on myself, and others do despise ; Yet Pride, I think, doth not my soul possess, Which looks too oft in his unflattering glass ; But one worse fault — Ambition — I confess, That makes me oft my...

الصفحة 94 - New perfumed with flowers fresh growing ; ASTROPHEL with STELLA sweet, Did for mutual comfort meet ; Both within themselves oppressed, But each in the other blessed. Him great harms had taught much care; Her fair neck a foul yoke bare : But her sight his cares did banish, In his sight her yoke did vanish. Wept they had, alas the while, But now tears themselves did smile; While their eyes by love directed, Interchangeably reflected.
الصفحة 271 - The masquers were placed in a great concave shell like mother of pearl, curiously made to move on those waters and rise with the billow; the top thereof was stuck with a chevron of lights which, indented to the proportion of the shell, struck a glorious beam upon them as they were seated one above another; so that they were all seen, but in an extravagant order.
الصفحة 253 - I, that was wont to behold her riding like Alexander, hunting like Diana, walking like Venus, the gentle wind blowing her fair hair about her pure cheeks, like a nymph, sometimes sitting in the shade like a goddess, sometimes singing like an angel, sometimes playing like Orpheus ; behold the sorrow of this world ! once amiss hath bereaved me of all.
الصفحة 281 - Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.
الصفحة 91 - Aurora's Court a nymph doth dwell, Rich in all beauties which man's eye can see ; Beauties so far from reach of words that we Abase her praise saying she doth excel; Rich in the treasure of deserv'd renown, Rich in the riches of a royal heart, Rich in those gifts which give th...
الصفحة 111 - I know already for your forwardness you have deserved rewards and crowns, and we do assure you, on the word of a prince, they shall be duly paid you. In the...
