Who kindly couch'd thy censure's eye, And gave thee clearly to descry Sound judgment giving law to fancy strong ? Who half inclin'd thee to confess, Nor could thy modesty do less, That MILTON'S blindness lay not in his song ? VI.
الصفحة 220 - Discorde accourut ; le démon de la guerre, La Mort pâle et sanglante, étaient à ses côtés. Malheureux, suspendez vos coups précipités ! Mais un destin funeste enflamme leur courage ; Dans le cœur l'un de l'autre ils cherchent un passage, Dans ce cœur ennemi qu'ils ne connaissent pas.
