Seite 126 - In springing flowre the image of thy day. Ah ! see the Virgin Rose, how sweetly shee Doth first peepe foorth with bashfull modestee, That fairer seemes the lesse ye see her may.
Seite 126 - Ah ! see the virgin rose, how sweetly she Doth first peep forth with bashful modesty, That fairer seems the less ye see her may ! Lo! see soon after, how more bold and free Her bared bosom she doth broad display ; Lo! see soon after, how she fades and falls away!
Seite 126 - So passeth in the passing of a day Of mortal life the leaf, the bud, the flower: Ne more doth flourish after first decay, That erst was sought to deck both bed and bower Of many a lady and many a paramour!

Seite 145 - Judma's utmost bounds extend Tow'rds fair Pelusium, Gaza's towers ascend : Fast by the breezy shore the city stands, Amid unbounded plains of barren sands, Which high in air the furious whirlwinds sweep, 5 Like mountain billows of the stormy deep; That scarce th' affrighted trav'ller, spent with toil, Escapes the tempest of th
Seite 99 - And high-advanced crests down meekly fell'd : Instead of fraying they themselves did fear, And trembled, as them passing they beheld : Such wond'rous power did in that staff appear, All monsters to subdue to him that did it bear. Of that same wood it fram'd was cunningly Of which Caduceus...
Seite 110 - Ill-fated Carthage ! scarce, amidst the plains, A trace of all her ruin'd pomp remains! Proud cities vanish, states and realms decay. The world's unstable glories fade away ! Yet mortals dare of certain fate complain : O impious folly of presuming man...
Seite 12 - But when their wonder ceas'd, th' ungodly crew From impious tongues blaspheming curses threw, With barbarous shouts they shake the bulwarks round ; The hills and vallies to the noise resound ! But not their course the Christian powers refrain, Nor cease their ritual or melodious strain ; 50 Fearless they march, nor heed the clamours more Than cries of birds loquacious on the shore.
Seite 72 - Begirt with grassy turf some crystal flood ; Or living waters foam from Alpine hills, Or through soft herbage purl the limpid rills ; Such flattering scenes again their fancies frame ; And add new fuel to increase their flame; Still in the mind the vvish'd idea reigns : But still the fever rages in their veins.
Seite 50 - But haply us'd to deeds of horrid strain, Thou deem'st it mercy to conclude my pain. Still, still 'tis mine with grief and shame to rove, A dire example of disastrous love ! While keen remorse for ever breaks my rest...
