Page 102 - A belt of straw and ivy buds With coral clasps and amber studs : And if these pleasures may thee move, Come live with me and be my Love.
Page 57 - Love comforteth like sunshine after rain, But lust's effect is tempest after sun, Love's gentle spring doth always fresh remain, Lust's winter comes, ere summer half be done: Love surfeits not, lust like a glutton dies : Love is all truth, lust full of forged lies.
Page 19 - But the sense of musical delight, with the power of producing it, is a gift of imagination ; and this together with the power of reducing multitude into unity of effect, and modifying a series of thoughts by some one predominant thought or feeling, may be cultivated and improved, but can never be learned.

' by and by ; That to hear her so complain, Scarce I could from tears refrain ; For her griefs so lively shown Made me think upon mine own. Ah, thought I, thou mourn'st in vain ! None takes pity on thy pain : Senseless trees they cannot hear thee ; Ruthless beasts they will not cheer thee : King Pandion he is dead ; All thy friends are lapp'd in lead ; All thy fellow birds do sing, Careless of thy sorrowing.
Page 102 - IF all the world and love were young, And truth in every shepherd's tongue, These pretty pleasures might me move To live with thee and be thy love.
Page 77 - I might steale them from him; and hee to doe himselfe right, hath since published them in his owne name; but as I must acknowledge my lines not worthy his patronage, under whom he hath publisht them, so the Author I know much offended with M.
