The present moment's all my lot; And that, as fast as it is got, Phillis, is only thine. Then talk not of inconstancy, False hearts, and broken vows; If I by miracle can be This live-long minute true to thee, 'Tis all that Heaven allows.

Seite 312 - Courted, admir'd, and lov'd, with Presents fed ; Youth in her Looks, and Pleasure in her Bed : Till Fate, or her ill Angel, thought it fit To make her doat upon a man of Wit : Who found 'twas dull to love above a day ; Made his ill-natur'd jeast, and went away.
Seite 219 - ... fault, Proceeds from want of sense, or want of thought. The men who labour and digest things most, Will be much apter to despond than boast : For if your author be profoundly good, 'Twill cost you dear before he 's understood.
Seite 274 - What you keep by you, you may change and mend But words once spoke can never be recalled.
Seite 252 - THE mighty rivals, whose destructive rage Did the whole world in civil arms engage, Are now agreed ; and make it both their choice, To have their fates dctermin'd by your voice. Ciesar from none but you will have his doom, He hates th...
