47 ページ - But fed us, by the way, with food divine. In deference to his virtues, I forbear To show you what the rest in orders were : This brilliant is so spotless, and so bright, He needs no foil, but shines by his own proper light.
160 ページ - Impatient to revenge her injur'd bed, She wreaks her anger on her rival's head; With Furies frights her from her native home ; And drives her gadding, round the world to roam : Nor ceas'd her madness, and her flight, before She touch'd the limits of the Pharian shore.
92 ページ - Cymon call'd, which signifies a brute ; So well his name did with his nature suit. His father, when he found his labour lost, And care employ'd, that answer'd not the cost, 10 Chose an ungrateful object to remove.
