Strana 50 - These violent delights have violent ends, And in their triumph die; like fire and powder, Which, as they kiss, consume...
Strana 34 - We, Hermia, like two artificial Gods, Created with our needles both one flower, Both on one sampler, sitting on one cushion...

Strana 76 - Cicero notices the astonishing power of music ; and Plato supposes that the effect of harmony on the mind, is equal to that of air on the body.
