Seite 22 - Monimia talks very tenderly upon this subject: -It was not kind To leave me like a turtle here alone, To droop and mourn the absence of my mate. When thou art from me, every place is desert: And I, methinks, am savage and forlorn. Thy presence only 'tis can make me blest, Heal my unquiet mind, and tune my soul.
Seite 63 - To be perfidious, shows a daring mind ! And you have nobly triumph'd o'er a maid ! To court me — to reject me — to return — Then to forsake me for a Phrygian slave — To lay proud Troy in ashes — then to raise The son of Hector, and renounce the Greeks, Are actions worthy the great soul of Pyrrhus !

Seite 49 - You wrong yourself With unbecoming fears. He knows too well Your beauty and your worth. Your lover comes not To offer insults ; but to repeat his vows. And breathe his ardent passion at your feet. But, madam, what's your royal father's wiil ? What orders do your letters bring from Sparta ? Her.
Seite 8 - Tis with a secret pleasure I look back, And see the many dangers I have pass'd. The merchant, thus, in dreadful tempests toss'd, Thrown by the waves on some unlook'd-for coast, Oft turns, and sees, with a delighted eye, Midst rocks and shelves, the broken billows fly ; And, while the outrageous winds the deep deform, Smiles on the tumult, and enjoys the storm.
Seite 22 - Oh, the bewitching tongues of faithless men ! 'Tis thus the false hyaena makes her moan, To draw the pitying traveller to her den : Your sex are so, such false dissemblers all ; With sighs and plaints ye entice poor women's hearts, And all that pity you are made your prey.
Seite 63 - To hear you speak your wrongs aloud : no terms, No bitterness of wrath, nor keen reproach, Will equal half the upbraidings of my heart. Her. I find, sir, you can be sincere : you scorn To act your crimes with fear, like other men. A hero should be bold ; above all laws ; Be bravely false ; and laugh at solemn ties. To be perfidious...
Seite 18 - Though plung'd in ills, and exercis'd in care, Yet never let the noble mind despair: When press'd by dangers, and beset with foes, The gods their timely succour interpose ; And when our virtue sinks, o'erwhelm'd with grief, By unforeseen expedients, bring relief.
Seite 20 - Trust not a man : we are by nature false, Dissembling, subtle, cruel, and inconstant ; When a man talks of love, with caution hear him ; But if he swears, he'll certainly deceive thee. OTWAY: Orphan.
