Popular passagesThe well-proportion'd shape, and beauteous face, Shall never more be seen by mortal eyes ; In earth the much-lamented virgin lies. Not wit, nor piety, could fate prevent ; Nor was the cruel destiny content To finish all the murder at a blow, To sweep at once her life and beauty too But, like a harden'd felon, took a pride To work more mischievously slow, And plunder'd first, and then destroy'd. Page 282 I an enthusiast, still you'd be the deity I should worship. What marks are there of a deity, but what you are to be known by? Page 358 Go, boy, and carve this passion on the bark Of yonder tree, which stands the sacred mark Of noble Sidney's birth... Page 128 Thou tread'st, with seraphims, the vast abyss : Whatever happy region is thy place, Cease thy celestial song a little space ; Thou wilt have time enough for hymns divine, Since Heaven's eternal year is thine. Page 278 Were all observed, as well as heavenly face. With such a peerless majesty she stands, As in that day she took the crown from sacred hands: Before a train of heroines was seen, In beauty foremost, as in rank, the queen. Page 281 Thou youngest virgin-daughter of the skies, Made in the last promotion of the blest; Whose palms, new pluck'd from Paradise, In spreading branches more sublimely rise, Rich with immortal green above the rest: Whether, adopted to some neighbouring star, Thou roll'st above us, in thy wandering race, Or, in procession fix'd and regular, Mov'st with the heavens...

Page 400 ... for she was a very faithful mirror, reflecting truly, though but dimly, his own glories upon him, so long as he was present; but she, that was nothing before his inspection gave her a fair figure, when he was removed, was only filled with a dark mist, and never could again take in any delightful object, nor return any shining representation. Page 76 What nature, art, bold fiction, e'er durst frame, Her forming hand gave feature to the name. So strange a concourse ne'er was seen before, But when the peopled ark the whole creation bore. The scene then changed, with bold erected look Our martial king the sight with reverence strook: For not content to... Page 281 Born to the spacious empire of the Nine, One would have thought she should have been content To manage well that mighty government; But what can young ambitious souls confine? To the next realm she stretched her sway, For Painture near adjoining lay, A plenteous province, and alluring prey.
