Page 88 - Go, with old Thames, view Chelsea's glorious pile ; And ask the shattered hero, whence his smile? Go, view the splendid domes of Greenwich — Go, And own what raptures from Reflection flow.

Page 109 - What though, in solemn silence, all Move round the dark terrestrial ball ; What though no real voice nor sound Amid their radiant orbs be found; In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, For ever singing as they shine, The hand that made us is divine.
Page 105 - Bright is her hue, and Geraldine she hight; Hampton me taught to wish her first for mine, And Windsor, alas, doth chase me from her sight. Her beauty, of kind; her virtues, from above; Happy is he that can obtain her love.
Page 44 - Hast thou found honey ? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it. 17 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.
Page 31 - Love not me for comely grace, For my pleasing eye or face, Nor for any outward part, No, nor for my constant heart, — For those may fail, or turn to ill, So thou and I shall sever : Keep therefore a true woman's eye, And love me still, but know not whySo hast thou the same reason still To doat upon me ever ! Anon. cxxvi Not, Celia, that I juster am Or better than the rest ; For I would change each hour, like them, Were not my heart at rest.
