Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending

Pagina 13 - gentleman ; Hop in his walks, and gambol in his eyes ; Feed him with apricocks, and dewberries ; With purple grapes, green figs, and mulberries ; The honey bags steal from the humble bees, And, for night-tapers, crop their waxen thighs, And light them at the fiery glow-worm's eyes, To have my love to bed, and to arise
Pagina 53 - Faint I, nor mourn nor murmur ; other gifts Have followed ; for such loss, I would believe, Abundant recompense.
