Seite 13 - MORTAL man, who livest here by toil, Do not complain of this thy hard estate ; That like an emmet thou must ever moil, Is a sad sentence of an ancient date ; And, certes, there is for it reason great ; For, though sometimes it makes thee weep and wail, And curse thy star, and early drudge and late, Withouten that would come a heavier bale, Loose life, unruly passions, and diseases pale.
Seite i - Je rends au public ce qu'il m'a prêté ; j'ai emprunté de lui la matière de cet ouvrage : il est juste que, l'ayant achevé avec toute l'attention pour la vérité dont je suis capable, et qu'il mérite de moi, je lui en fasse la restitution.
Seite 204 - She was a woman in her freshest age, Of wondrous beauty, and of bounty rare, With goodly grace and comely personage...
Seite 256 - SHE walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies ; And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes : Thus mellow'd to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
