Pagina 15 - I'll bring you to your father. [Diomedes leads out Cressida. Nest. A woman of quick sense. Ulyss. Fie, fie upon her! There's language in her eye, her cheek, her lip, Nay, her foot speaks ; her wanton spirits look out At every joint and motive of her body. O, these encounterers, so glib of tongue, That give a coasting welcome ere it comes. And wide unclasp the tables of their thoughts To every ticklish reader ! set them down For sluttish spoils of opportunity, And daughters of the game. [Trumpet within....
Pagina 59 - God made the country, and man made the town. What wonder then that health and virtue, gifts, That can alone make sweet the bitter draught, That life holds out to all, should most abound And least be threatened in the fields and groves...
Pagina 109 - If this which he avouches does appear? There is nor flying hence nor tarrying here. I 'gin to be aweary of the sun, And wish the estate o
Pagina 197 - Thy spirit, Independence, let me share; Lord of the lion-heart, and eagle-eye! Thy steps I follow with my bosom bare, Nor heed the storm that howls along the sky!

Pagina 83 - OR ever, Fortune, wilt thou prove An unrelenting foe to love, And when we meet a mutual heart, Come in between, and bid us part: Bid us sigh on from day to day, And wish, and wish the soul away; Till youth and genial years are flown, And all the life of life...
Pagina 1 - Our own as surely blows the pageant down. Take up no more than you by worth can claim, Lest soon you prove a bankrupt in your fame. But own I must, in this perverted age, Who most deserve, can't always most engage. So far is worth from making glory sure, It often hinders what it should procure.
Pagina 206 - And, long since then, of bloody men Whose deeds tradition saves; Of lonely folk cut off unseen, And hid in sudden graves; Of horrid stabs, in groves forlorn, And murders done in caves...
Pagina 1 - Take up no more than you by worth can claim, Lest soon you prove a bankrupt in your fame. But own I must, in this perverted age, Who most deserve, can't always most engage. So far is worth from making glory sure, It often hinders what it should procure. Whom praise we most ? The virtuous, brave, and wise ? No ; wretches, whom, in secret, we despise.
Pagina 176 - In human hearts what bolder thoughts can rise, Than man's presumption on to-morrow's dawn ? Where is to-morrow ? In another world. For numbers this is certain; the reverse Is sure to none. Dum vivimus vivamus. Whilst we live let us live. " Live, while you live," the epicure would say, " And seize the pleasures of the present day.
