Seite 65 - Hath deck'd their rising cheeks in red, Such as on your lips is spread. Here be berries for a queen, Some be red, some be green ; These are of that luscious meat, The great god Pan himself doth eat : All these, and what the woods can yield, The hanging mountain or the field, I freely offer, and ere long Will bring you more, more sweet and strong ; Till when humbly leave I take, Lest the great Pan do awake, That sleeping lies in a deep glade, Under a broad beech's shade : I must go, I must run Swifter...
Seite 66 - My virgin flower uncropt, pure, chaste, and fair, No goblin, wood-god, fairy, elf, or fiend, Satyr, or other power that haunts the groves, Shall hurt my body, or by vain illusion Draw me to wander after idle fires ; Or voices calling me in dead of night, To make me follow, and so tole me on, Through mire and standing pools, to find my ruin...
Seite 63 - And through these thick woods, have I run, Whose bottom never kissed the sun Since the lusty spring began; All to please my master Pan, Have I trotted without rest To get him fruit; for at a feast He entertains, this coming night, His paramour, the Syrinx bright. — But, behold, a fairer sight! By that heavenly form of thine, Brightest fair...
Seite 64 - Here be grapes, whose lusty blood Is the learned poet's good, Sweeter yet did never crown The head of Bacchus ; nuts more brown Than the squirrel's teeth that crack them...
Seite 64 - Brightest fair, thou art divine, Sprung from great immortal race Of the gods ; for in thy face Shines more awful majesty Than dull weak mortality Dare with misty eyes behold, And live ! Therefore on this mould Lowly do I bend my knee In worship of thy deity. Deign it, goddess, from my hand To receive whate'er this land From her fertile womb doth send Of her choice fruits ; and but lend Belief to that the Satyr tells. fairer by the famous wells, To this present day ne'er grew ; Never better nor more...
Seite 65 - And all my fears go with thee ! What greatness, or what private hidden power, Is there in me, to draw submission From this rude man and beast ? sure I am mortal, The daughter of a shepherd ; he was mortal, And she that bore me mortal ; prick my hand, And it will bleed ; a fever shakes me, and The self-same wind that makes the young lambs shrink, Makes me a-cold : my fear says I am mortal.

Seite 46 - ... was, in some, riven asunder, whilst in others nothing but the mere shell remained, together with here and there a stunted thorn, alone relieving the monotony of the surface. The only regular inhabitant of this dreary scene was, as I have before said, the old labourer, Daniel Thorpe, who slept in one corner of the house, partly to prevent its total dilapidation, and to preserve the valuable hayricks and the tumble-down farm buildings from the pillage to which unprotected property is necessarily...
Seite 193 - The rich profusion of leaves, those of the lotus spermus, comparatively rounded and dim, soft in texture and colour, with a darker patch in the middle, like the leaf of the old gum geranium ; those of the maurandia, so bright, and shining, and sharply outlined — the stalks equally graceful in their varied green, and the roseate bells of the one contrasting and harmonising so finely with the rich violet flowers of the other, might really form a study for a painter. I never saw anything more graceful...
Seite 300 - Radynge has no revenues but what are in common with his brethren, therefore whoever by divine consent and canonical election, shall be made abbot, shall not bestow the alms of the monastery on his lay kindred, or any others, but for the entertainment of the poor and strangers.
