Pagina 241 - in himself Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils ; The motions of his spirit arc dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus : Let no such,
Pagina 510 - SEE, from this counterfeit of him Whom Arno shall remember long, How stern of lineament, how grim, The father was of Tuscan song. There but the burning sense of wrong, Perpetual care and scorn, abide ; Small friendship for the lordly throng ; Distrust of all the world beside.
Pagina 511 - Peace dwells not here : this nigged face Betrays no spirit of repose; The sullen warrior sole we trace, The marble man of many woes. Such was his mien when first arose The thought of that strange tale divine, When hell he peopled with his foes, The scourge
Pagina 4 - stag, w'hen snow the pasture sheets, It is reported, thou didst eat strange flesh, Which some did die to look on : and all this Was borne so like a soldier, that thy cheek
