Stranica 285 - I saw eternity the other night Like a great ring of pure and endless light, All calm as it was bright; And round beneath it, time in hours, days, years, Driv'n by the spheres, Like a vast shadow moved, in which the world And all her train were hurled...
Stranica 306 - Leave me, O love which reachest but to dust, And thou, my mind, aspire to higher things. Grow rich in that which never taketh rust: Whatever fades but fading pleasure brings. Draw in thy beams, and humble all thy might To that sweet yoke where lasting freedoms be; Which breaks the clouds and opens forth the light That doth both shine and give us sight to see.
Stranica 110 - There lived a singer in France of old By the tideless dolorous midland sea. In a land of sand and ruin and gold There shone one woman, and none but she. And finding life for her love's sake fail, Being fain to see her, he bade set sail, Touched land, and saw her as life grew cold, And praised God, seeing ; and so died he. Died, praising God for his gift and grace : For she bowed down to him weeping, and said " Live ; " and her tears were shed on his face Or ever the life in his face was shed.

Stranica 27 - Posato al nido de' suoi dolci nati La notte che le cose ci nasconde, Che, per veder gli aspetti desiati, E per trovar lo cibo onde...
Stranica 261 - S' a' tuoi preghi, o Maria, Vergine dolce e pia , Ove 'l fallo abbondò , la grazia abbonda. Con le ginocchia della mente inchine Prego che sia mia scorta, E la mia torta via drizzi a buon fine. Vergine chiara, e stabile in eterno, Di questo tempestoso mare stella, D' ogni fedel nocchier fidata guida , Pon mente in che terribile procella I' mi ritrovo sol senza governo , Ed ho già da vicin l
Stranica 247 - Oh de l'anime rare ch' altamente vivesti qui fra noi e che subito al ciel volasti poi! Ma io che debbo, altro che pianger sempre, misero e sol, che senza te son nulla ? Ch...
Stranica 291 - Henry Earle of Surrey were the two chieftaines, who having travailed into Italie, and there tasted the sweete and stately measures and stile of the Italian Poesie as novices newly crept out of the schooles of Dante Arioste and Petrarch, they greatly pollished our rude and homely maner of vulgar Poesie, from that it had bene before...
