Stran 181 - Shakspeare, • that which should accompany old age; As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends, 1 must not look to have: but in their stead Curses not loud, but deep; mouth-honour, breath, Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare
Stran 74 - Farewell! And O! where'er thy voice be try'd, On Torno's cliffs, or Pambamarca's side; Whether where equinoctial fervors glow. Or Winter wraps the polar world in snow ; Still let thy voice, prevailing over Time, Redress the rigours of th
