עמוד 199 - Where-e'er you tread, your foot shall set The primrose and the violet ; All spices, perfumes, and sweet powders, Shall borrow from your breath their odours ; Nature her charter shall renew, And take all lives of things from you ; The world depend upon your eye, And when you frown upon it die : Only our loves shall survive, New worlds and natures to out-live ; And like to heralds moons remain, All crescents, without change or wane.
עמוד 190 - Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold.

עמוד 198 - Quoth he, My faith, as adamantine, As chains of destiny, I'll maintain ; True as Apollo ever spoke, Or oracle from heart of oak ; And if you'll give my flame but vent, Now in close hugger-mugger pent, And shine upon me but benignly, With that one, and that other pigsney...
עמוד 190 - I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying: Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.
עמוד 231 - Of vermin did at first proceed. So e're the storm of war broke out, Religion spawn'da various rout Of petulant Capricious sects, The maggots of corrupted texts, That first run all religion down, And after ev'ry swarm its own. For as the Persian {h} Magi once Upon their mothers got their sons, That were incapable t...
עמוד 125 - Great and high, The world knows only two, that's Rome and I. My roof receives me not ; 'tis air I tread ; And, at each step, I feel my advanced head Knock out a star in heaven...
