Strana 87 - Seized on her sinless soul ? Must then that peerless form Which love and admiration cannot view Without a beating heart, those azure veins Which steal like streams along a field of snow, That lovely outline, which is fair As breathing marble, perish...
Strana 274 - Avitabili keeps down by grim fear what nothing else would keep down — the unruly spirits around him, who, if let slip, would riot in carnage ; his severity may therefore be extenuated, as the least of two evils.
