Strona 212 - There, on the pendent boughs her coronet weeds Clambering to hang, an envious sliver broke ; When down her weedy trophies and herself Fell in the weeping brook.
Strona 212 - There is a willow grows aslant 'a brook, That shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream ; There with fantastic garlands did she come Of crow-flowers, nettles, daisies, and long purples That liberal shepherds give a grosser name, But our cold maids do dead men's fingers call them...

Strona 192 - ... sestimemus assis. Let us live, my Lesbia, and love, And all the carping of stern old men Let us rate at a penny's worth. Read the verses in which Propertius bids his fellow-poet Gallus beware of falling in love with Cynthia, — ; Non ego turn potero solacia ferre roganti. Were you to come, I could not console you. And again, take his complaint, — Me mediae noctes, me sidera prona jacentem, Frigidaque Eoo me dolet aura gelu.
Strona 18 - ... ardente qui m'entraîne vers un bonheur sans limite, et me fait considérer l'absence de ce bonheur comme la plus grande infortune... Mais c'est là, soyez-en sûr, une passion folle qu'il faut combattre. Ce sentiment-là n'est point viril et ne saurait rien produire qui le soit.
