Pagina 233 - I could a tale unfold, whose lightest word Would harrow up thy soul; freeze thy young blood ; Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres; Thy knotted and combined locks to part, And each particular hair to stand on end, Like quills upon the fretful porcupine : But this eternal blazon must not be To ears of flesh and blood : — List, list, O list!

E'en thee, fair queen, from thy amazing height, The charms of young Endymion drew ; Veil'd with the mantle of concealing night ; With all thy greatness, and thy coldness too.
Pagina 350 - With calm severity, unpassion'd Age Detects the specious fallacies of Youth : Reviews the motives, which no more engage, And weighs each action in the scale of Truth. The soul no more on mortal good relies, But nobler objects urge her hopes and fears, And, sick of Folly, views no tempting prize Beneath the radiant circle of the stars.
Pagina 310 - A narrative penned in such circumstances, by a hand convulsed with pain, and trembling with the prelusive horrours of meditated suicide, obliterated in many parts by tears which had flowed from eyes long since closed in death, and breathing the proud yet deep remorse of an afflicted, rather than a contrite spirit, now removed to that world where...
