Strona 157 - Oft she rejects, but never once offends. Bright as the sun, her eyes the gazers strike, And, like the sun, they shine on all alike. Yet graceful ease, and sweetness void of pride, Might hide her faults, if belles had faults to hide: If to her share some female errors fall, Look on her face, and you'll forget them all.
Strona 45 - SONG. Where are they, the Beloved, The Gladsome, all ? Where are they, the Beloved, The Gladsome, all ? They left the festal hearth and hall. They pine afar from us in alien climes. Oh, who shall bring them back to us once more • Who shall restore Life's fairy floral times ? Restore Life's fairy floral times ? Where are they, the Beloved, The Gallant, all ? Where are they, the Beloved, The Gallant, all ? They went forth in the pride of Youthhood's powers.
Strona 249 - Our own choice only can give them us entire. Melancholy itself often giveth delight, and the extremity of joy is mingled with tears. The best things in the hands of a fool may be turned to his destruction ; and out of the worst the wise will find the means of good. So blended is weakness in thy nature...
Strona 148 - Mary, Mary, quite contrary, How does your garden grow ? With silver bells and cockle shells, And pretty maids all in a row.
Strona 122 - Tis said, that woman, prone to changing, Through all the rounds of folly ranging, On life's uncertain ocean riding, No reason, rule, nor rudder guiding, Is like the comet's waad'ring light, Eccentric, ominous, and bright, Trackless, and shifting as the wind, A sea, whose fathom none can find ; A moon, still changing, and revolving, A riddle, past all human solving ; A bliss, a plague, a heav'n, a hell, A something that no man can tell. Now learn a secret from a friend, But keep your counsel, and...
Strona 94 - Scorn'd in its silken chains to lie, And the soft language of the soul Flow'd from her never, silent eye. The bloom that open'd on her face Well seem'd an emblem of her mind, Where snowy innocence we trace, With blushing modesty combined. P To these resistless grace impart That look of sweetness form'd to please, That elegance, devoid of art, That dignity that's lost in ease.
Strona 192 - And, Benedick, love on; I will requite thee, Taming my wild heart to thy loving hand: If thou dost love, my kirtdness shall incite thee To bind our loves up in a holy band ; For others say thou dost deserve, and I Believe it better than reportingly.
Strona 206 - That cheat and wound the heart. 3 When virtuous sorrow clouds the face, And tears bedim the eye, The soul is led to solemn thought, And wafted to the sky. 4 The wise in heart revisit oft Grief's dark sequester'd cell : The thoughtless still with levity And mirth delight to dwell. 5 The noisy laughter of the fool Is like the crackling sound Of blazing thorns, which quickly fall In ashes to the ground.
Strona 41 - I have loved you from the first moment I saw you, and nothing is worth while with you not in it.
Strona 35 - God be praised !" she added, and throwing her arms round her husband's neck, she burst into tears. They were the first she had shed since Annie was brought home, but they were sweet and joyful tears, and .relieved her throbbing heart. " I must see the darlings," said Devereux, and softly opening the door, he stole in on tiptoe.
