עמוד 227 - Ay, now am I in Arden ; the more fool I : when I was at home, I was in a better place : but travellers must be content.
עמוד 110 - She that has that is clad in complete steel ; And, like a quiver'd nymph, with arrows keen, May trace huge forests, and unharbour'd heaths, Infamous hills, and sandy perilous wilds, Where, through the sacred rays of chastity, No savage fierce, bandit, or mountaineer, Will dare to soil her virgin purity...
עמוד 72 - Loses discountenanced, and like folly shows. Authority and reason on her wait, As one intended first, not after made Occasionally: and, to consummate all, Greatness of mind and nobleness their seat Build in her loveliest, and create an awe About her, as a guard angelic placed.
עמוד 259 - Ah me! for aught that ever I could read. Could ever hear by tale or history, The course of true love never did run smooth: But, either it was different in blood; Her.
עמוד 399 - Kept the word of promise to the ear, But broke it to the hope.
עמוד 73 - So much delights me, as those graceful acts, Those thousand decencies that daily flow From all her words and actions, mix'd with love And sweet compliance, which declare unfeign'd Union of mind, or in us both one soul ; Harmony to behold in wedded pair More grateful than harmonious sound to the ear.

עמוד 98 - Pleasures are few, and fewer we enjoy ; Pleasure, like quicksilver, is bright, and coy; We strive to grasp it with our utmost skill, Still it eludes us, and it glitters still : If seiz'd at last, compute your mighty gains ; What is it, but rank poison in your veins...
עמוד 259 - Ch' ognor star debbia il maleficio occulto ; Che, quando ognaltro taccia, intorno grida L' aria, e la terra istessa in ch' e sepulto : E Dio fa spesso che '1 peccato guida II peccator, poi ch' alcun di gli ha indulto, Che se medesmo, senza altrui richiesta, Innavvedutamente manifesta.
