Strana 163 - Pelops' line, Or the tale of Troy divine ; Or what (though rare) of later age Ennobled hath the buskin'd stage. But O, sad virgin, that thy power Might raise Musaeus from his bower ?

Strana 252 - Paint me an angel, with wings and a trumpet, to trumpet my name over the world.
Strana 126 - For gain, not glory, wing'd his roving flight, And grew immortal in his own despite.
