Stran 7 - Crosswise I strain me like a Syrian bow: Whence false and quaint, I know, Must be the fruit of squinting brain and eye; For ill can aim the gun that bends awry. Come then, Giovanni, try To succour my dead pictures and my fame; Since foul I fare and painting is my shame.
Stran 100 - molti, donna. * Lady, for joy of lovers numberless Thou wast created fair as angels are. Sure God hath fallen asleep in heaven afar, When one man calls the bliss of many his! Give back to streaming eyes The daylight of thy face that seems to shun Those who must live defrauded of their
Stran 20 - can that be, lady, which all men learn By long experience ? Shapes that seem alive, Wrought in hard mountain marble, will survive Their maker, whom the years to dust return I Thus to effect cause yields. Art hath her turn, And triumphs over Nature.

Stran 23 - Yet still more blissful seems to me the band, Gilt at the tips so sweetly doth it ring, And clasp the bosom that it serves to lace: Yea, and the belt, to such as understand, Bound round her waist, saith: Here I'd ever cling
Stran 101 - sonno. Sweet Is my sleep, but more to be mere stone, So long as ruin and dishonour reign; To bear nought, to feel nought, is my great gain; Then wake me not, speak in an
Stran 35 - With such delight, such savour, and so well, That both to one sole end their wills combine; If thousands of these thoughts, all thought outgoing, Fail the least part of their firm love to tell: Say, can mere angry spite this knot untwine ? 35
