Seite 63 - TRUE is, that whilome that good Poet sayd, The gentle minde by gentle deeds is knowne : For a man by nothing is so well bewrayd As by his manners ; in which plaine is showne Of what degree and what race he is growne...
Seite 44 - Proscriber had descended to us in a more hideous form than they now appear, if the emperor had not taken care to make friends of him and Horace. I confess the banishment of Ovid was a blot in his escutcheon; yet he was only banished, and who knows but his crime was capital?
Seite 27 - There vows and there unnumbered prayers remain, Which oft to God the sinner makes in vain ; The frequent tears that lovers' eyes suffuse, The sighs they breathe, the days that gamesters lose ; The leisure given which fools so oft neglect, The weak designs that never take effect.

And now, by slow degrees, the height ascends ; When sudden to his wondering sight appears 390 A sire, low bent with abstinence and years: A hermit, by his looks and gesture seen, Of saint-like...
Seite 25 - Upon arrival Astolfo found the moon much vaster than he had imagined, and like earlier and later travelers was greatly impressed by its similarities to the topography of earth : Swell'd like the Earth, and seem'd an Earth in size, Like this huge globe, whose wide extended space Vast oceans with circumfluent wave embrace. . . . Far other lakes than ours this region yields, Far other rivers, and far other fields ; Far other valleys, plains, and hills supplies, Where stately cities, towns, and castles...
Seite 182 - Or, dying, perish by a milder death : Till, swimming long, when hope no more prevails, When strength decays apace, and courage fails, The thought of drowning, spite of former dread, Recalls them to the flames from which they fled : Eager they seize some burning wreck, and loth To die of either death, they die of both. Some from the...
Seite 92 - Scarse do they spare to one or two or three, Rowme in their writs; yet the same writing small Does all their deeds deface, and dims their glories all.
Seite 16 - He gains the mansions of supernal light Not emerald here so bright a verdure yields As the fair turf of those celestial fields, O'er whose glad face the balmy season pours The vernal beauties of a thousand flowers.
Seite 80 - To threatening death amid the seas and wind. But Fortune, that decreed you, yet unborn, With glorious deeds your country to adorn, 480 Your vessel to a realm unpeopled bore, And safely landed on the Syrtes' shore. Eas'd of her birth, to death your parent bends, Her spotless soul to Paradise ascends. Such was your fate, so will'd some favouring power, Myself was present at the needful hour: Then (as the place allow'd) this friendly hand Interr'd your mother on the lonely strand : Wrapt in my vest...
