Seite 19 - And turn themselves loose, out of all the bounds Of justice, and the straight way to their ends; Forsaking all the sure force in themselves To seek without them that which is not theirs, The forms of all their comforts are distracted, The riches of their freedoms forfeited, Their human noblesse shamed ; the mansions Of their cold spirits eaten down with cares ; And all their ornaments of wit and valour, Learning, and judgment, cut from all their fruits.
Seite 19 - His trees about it, cut off by their waists ; So, when men fly the natural clime of truth, And turn themselves loose, out of all the bounds Of justice, and the straight way to their ends; Forsaking all the sure force in themselves To seek without them that which is not theirs, The forms of all their comforts are distracted...
