Seite 178 - Past reason hated, as a swallow'd bait On purpose laid to make the taker mad; Mad in pursuit, and in possession so; Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme; A bliss in proof, and proved, a very woe; Before, a joy proposed; behind, a dream.
Seite 47 - Last Valentine, the day when birds of kind Their paramours with mutual chirpings find; I rearly rose, just at the break of day, Before the sun had chas'd the stars away; A-field I went, amid the morning dew, To milk my kine (for so should huswives do) ; Thee first I spy'd, and the first swain we see, In spite of fortune shall our true love be ; See, Lubberkin, each bird his partner take, And canst thou then thy sweet-heart dear forsake?

Seite 182 - Come, my Corinna, come ; and, coming, mark How each field turns a street, each street a park Made green, and trimmed with trees : see how Devotion gives each house a bough, Or branch ; each porch, each door, ere this, An ark, a tabernacle is, Made up of whitethorn neatly interwove, As if here were those cooler shades of love.
Seite 43 - VALENTINE'S DAY. I. HAIL Bishop Valentine, whose day this is ; All the air is thy diocese, And all the chirping choristers And other birds are thy parishioners ; Thou marriest every year The lyric lark, and the grave whispering dove, The sparrow that neglects his life for love, The household bird with the red stomacher ; Thou makest the blackbird speed as soon, As doth the goldfinch, or the halcyon ; 10 The husband cock looks out, and straight is sped, And meets his wife, which brings her feather-bed.
Seite 45 - I let you plainly understand, that my father will no more money part withal in that behalf, but a hundred pounds and fifty marks, which is right far from the accomplishment of your desire. Wherefore if that ye could be content with that good, and my poor person, I would be the merriest maiden on ground...
Seite 150 - He had a daughter fresh as floure of May, Which gave that name unto that pleasant vale; Mulla the daughter of old Mole, so hight The Nimph, which of that water course has charge, That springing out of Mole, doth run downe right...
