Strana xxx - Then die, that she The common fate of all things rare May read in thee ; How small a part of time they share, That are so wondrous sweet and fair.
Strana xxxi - But let concealment, like a worm i' the bud, Feed on her damask cheek: she pin'd in thought, And with a green and yellow melancholy, She sat like Patience on a monument, Smiling at grief.
Strana 311 - The inventor propofed, by the figures of the four fuits or colours, as the French call them, to reprefent the four ftates or clafles of men in the kingdom.
Strana xxxviii - J'en use d'autre sorte; et, me laissant guider, Souvent à marcher seul j'ose me hasarder. On me verra toujours pratiquer cet usage. Mon imitation n'est point un esclavage : Je ne prends que l'idée, et les tours, et les lois Que nos maîtres suivaient eux-mêmes autrefois.
