Stran 493 - For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest...
Stran 330 - I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom ; and to lay hold on folly , till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.
Stran 169 - Before the creation of ^Ether and Light, Chaos and Night together were plight, In the dungeon of Erebus foully bedight. Nor Ocean, or Air, or substance was there, Or solid or rare, or figure or form, But horrible Tartarus ruled in the storm : . At length, in the dreary chaotical closet Of Erebus old, was a privy deposit, By Night the primaeval in secrecy laid ; A Mystical Egg, that in silence and shade Was brooded and hatched ; till time came about : And Love, the delightful, in glory flew out...
Stran 413 - I am Ruy Diaz, the champion of Bivar ; Strike amongst them, gentlemen, for sweet mercy's sake !" There, where Bermudez fought, amidst the foe they brake, Three hundred bannered knights, it was a gallant show. Three hundred Moors they killed, a man with every blow ; When they wheeled and turned, as many more lay slain, You might see them raise their lances and level them again.
Stran 251 - Woman. And I should like to rip that gullet out With a reaping hook that swallowed all my tripe, And liver and lights — but I'll fetch Cleon here, And he shall summon him. He shall settle him, And have it out of him this very day. [Exeunt ist and 2nd Woman.
Stran 269 - Because my poems live on earth above, And his died with him, and descended here, And are at hand as ready witnesses ; But you decide the matter : I submit.
Stran 431 - ... The Cid was sleeping in his chair, with all his knights around, The cry went forth along the hall, that the lion was unbound, — What did you do, Fernando ? like a coward as you were, You slunk behind the Cid, and crouch'd beneath his chair.
Stran 135 - That's well imagined ; it precisely suits him ; His natural bent, it seems, his proper element To squabble with poor trulls and low rapscallions. As for yourself, I give you an invitation To dine with me in the hall. You'll fill the seat Which that unhappy villain held before. Take this new robe ! Wear it and follow me...
Stran 101 - Let us praise our famous fathers, let their glory be recorded, On Minerva's mighty mantle consecrated and embroidered. That with many a naval action, and with infantry by land, Still contending, never ending, strove for empire and command. When they met the foe, disdaining to compute a poor account Of the number of their armies, of their muster and amount: But whene'er at wrestling matches they were worsted in the fray.
Stran 243 - Thorycion grew to be rich From a scoundrelly dirty collector of tribute: All such we reject and severely prohibit: All statesmen retrenching the fees and the salaries Of theatrical bards, in revenge for the railleries, And jests, and lampoons, of this holy solemnity, Profanely pursuing their personal enmity, For having been flouted, and scoff'd, and scorn'd, All such are admonish'd and heartily warn'd; We warn them once, We warn them twice, We warn and admonish — we warn them thrice, To conform...
