Then misconceive not, dearest heart ! My true, though secret, passion ; He smarteth most that hides his smart, And sues for no compassion ! A Vision upon the Fairy Queen.
Seite 709 - Come live with me, and be my dear, And we will revel all the year, In plains and groves, on hills and dales, Where fragrant air breeds sweetest gales.
Seite 724 - That, since my flesh must die so soon, And want a head to dine next noon, Just at the stroke, when my veins start and spread, Set on my soul an everlasting head!
