Seite 81 - Marlowe, bathed in the Thespian springs, Had in him those brave translunary things That the first poets had ; his raptures were All air and fire, which made his verses clear ; For that fine madness still he did retain Which rightly should possess a poet's brain.
Seite 282 - Falkland ; a person of such prodigious parts of learning and knowledge, of that inimitable sweetness and delight in conversation, of so flowing and obliging a humanity and goodness to mankind, and of that primitive simplicity and integrity of life, that if there were no other brand upon this odious and accursed civil war, than that single loss, it must be most infamous and execrable to all posterity.
Seite 198 - Dr. Donne, I have invited you to dinner, and, though you sit not down with me, yet I will carve to you of a dish that I know you love well, for, knowing you love London, I do therefore make you Dean of St. Paul's. And when I have dined, then do you take your beloved dish home to your study, say grace there to yourself, and much good may it do you.
