Seite 207 - The heedless lover does not know Whose eyes they are that wound him so ; But, confounded with thy art, Inquires her name that has his heart.
Seite 135 - Beneath a shoal of silver fishes glides, And plays about the gilded barges' sides : The ladies angling in the crystal lake, Feast on the waters with the prey they take : At once victorious with their lines and eyes, They make the fishes and the men their prize.
