Stranica 11 - He that at midnight, when the very labourer sleeps securely, should hear, as I have very often, the clear airs, the sweet descants, the natural rising and falling, the doubling and redoubling of her voice, might well be lifted above earth, and say, " Lord, what music has thou provided for the saints in heaven, when thou affordest bad men such music on earth...
Stranica 260 - Per me si va nella città dolente; per me si va nell' eterno dolore; per me si va tra la perduta gente.
Stranica 251 - Quand un discours naturel peint une passion, ou un effet, on trouve dans soi-même la vérité de ce qu'on entend, laquelle on ne savait pas qu'elle y fût, en sorte qu'on est porté à aimer celui qui nous le fait sentir; car il ne nous a pas fait montre de son bien, mais du nôtre ; et ainsi ce bienfait nous le rend aimable : outre que cette communauté d'intelligence que nous avons avec lui incline nécessairement le cœur à l'aimer.
Stranica 30 - The queen was brought by water to Whitehall, At every stroke the oars did tears let fall. More clung about the barge ; fish under water Wept out their eyes of pearl, and swam blind after. I think the bargemen might, with easier thighs, Have rowed her thither in her people's eyes ; For howsoe'er, thus much my thoughts have scann'd, She had come by water, had she come by land.
Stranica 296 - I use the Scriptures, not as an arsenal, to be resorted to only for arms and weapons to defend this or that party, or to defeat its enemies ; but as a matchless temple where I delight to be ; to contemplate the beauty, the symmetry, and the magnificence of the structure, and to increase my awe, and excite my devotion to the Deity there preached and adored...
Stranica 120 - This is a joye — this is true pleasure, If we best things make our treasure, And enjoy them at full leisure, Evermore in richest measure. God is only excellent, Let up to Him our love be sent ; Whose desires are set and bent On ought else — shall much repent. Theirs is a most wretched case Who themselves so far disgrace, That they their affections place Upon things named vile and base.
Stranica 196 - A little favourite rapidly I grew: And oft she stroked my head with fond delight, Held me a pattern to the dunce's sight; And, as she gave my diligence its praise, Talk'd of the honours of my future days.
Stranica 237 - Of years I have now half a century pass'd, And none of the fifty so bless'd as the last. How it happens my troubles thus daily should cease, And my happiness thus with my years should increase; This defiance of Nature's more general laws You alone can explain, who alone are the cause.
Stranica 16 - With braunchis brode, ladin with levis new, That sprongin out agen the sonne shene, — Some very rede, and some a glad light grene. W'hich (as me thought) was a right plesaunt sight , And eke the birdis songis for to here, Would have rejoisid any erthly wight, And I, that couth not yet in no manere Herin the nightingale of all the yere, Full busily herknid, with hert and ere, If I her voice pereeve could any where.
Stranica 25 - And as for me, though that I can but lite, On bookes for to rede I me delite, And to hem yeve I faith and full credence, And in mine herte have hem in reverence So hertely, that there is game none, That fro my bookes maketh me to gone, But it...
