Seite 49 - Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight, And burned is Apollo's laurel bough, That sometime grew within this learned man. Faustus is gone : regard his hellish fall, Whose fiendful fortune may exhort the wise Only to wonder at unlawful things, Whose deepness doth entice such forward wits To practise more than heavenly power permits.
Seite 120 - Gather the flowers, but spare the buds; Lest Flora, angry at thy crime, To kill her infants in their prime, Do quickly make th' example yours; And, ere we see, Nip in the blossom all our hopes and thee.
