Pagina 113 - Full little knowest thou, that hast not tried, What hell it is in suing long to bide ; To lose good days that might be better spent ; To waste long nights in pensive discontent; To speed to-day, to be put back to-morrow ; To feed on hope ; to pine with fear and sorrow ; To have thy Prince's grace, yet want her peers...
Pagina 1 - But deeds and language such as men do use, And persons such as Comedy would choose, When she would show an image of the times. And sport with human follies, not with crimes; Except we make 'em such, by loving still Our popular errors, when we know they're ill.

Vous-même, qui brûlez d'une ardeur si fidèle, Aimez-vous Domitie, ou vos plaisirs en elle? Et quand vous aspirez à des liens si doux, Est-ce pour l'amour d'elle, ou pour l'amour de vous?

Pagina 338 - Let Rome in Tiber melt, and the wide arch Of the ranged empire fall ! Here is my space. Kingdoms are clay : our dungy earth alike Feeds beast as man: the nobleness of life Is to do thus ; when such a mutual pair [Embracing. And such a twain can do't, in which I bind, On pain of punishment, the world to weet We stand up peerless.
Pagina 136 - With pains unknown increased her smart Vanessa, not in years a score, Dreams of a gown of forty-four ; Imaginary charms can find In eyes with reading almost blind : Cadenus now no more appears N. Declined in health, advanced in years.) She fancies music in his tongue : / Nor farther looks, but thinks him young.
Pagina 139 - Now, said the nymph, to let you see My actions with your rules agree ; That I can vulgar forms despise, And have no secrets to disguise ; I knew, by what you said and writ, How dangerous things were men of wit ; You caution'd me against their charms, But never gave me equal arms ; Your lessons found the weakest- part, Aim'd at the head, but reach'd the heart.
