עמוד 162 - converted ideas of deformity into the true sublime, and rendered an image terrible, which in other hands would have probably been ridiculous. Methought his eyes Were two full moons, he had a thousand noses, Horns whelk'd and wav'd like the enridged sea. It was some fiend

עמוד cclxviii - maist behold thy face, And thine own realmes in Lond of Faery, And in this antique image thy great ancestry '.

עמוד clxxxii - sage and solemn tunes have sung, Of turneys and of trophies hung, Of forests and inchantments drear, Where more is meant than meets the car.
עמוד 62 - So shall thou instant reach the realm assign'd, In wondrous ships, self-moved, instinct with mind: No helm secures their course, no pilot guides, Like men intelligent, they plough the tides; Conscious of every coast and every bay That lies beneath the sun's alluring ray.
