Էջ 32 - on the plains of Heaven, And shook his throne. What though the field be lost? All is not lost; the unconquerable will, And study of revenge, immortal hate, And courage never to submit or yield, And what is else not to be overcome ; That glory never shall his wrath or might Extort from
Էջ 18 - Elysian flowers, and hear Such strains as would have won the ear Of Pluto, to have quite set free His half-regain'd Eurydice. These delights if thou canst give. Mirth, with thee I mean to live. ■ ' IL PENSEROSO. Hence, vain deluding Joys, The brood of Folly, without father bred ! How little you bested, Or
Էջ 148 - still with awful eye, As if they surely knew their sovran Lord was by. But peaceful was the night. Wherein the Prince of light His reign of peace upon the Earth began : The winds, with wonder whist, Smoothly the waters kist, Whispering new joys to the mild ocean. Who now hath quite forgot to rave,

Էջ 20 - As he pronounces lastly on each deed, Of so much fame in Heaven expect thy meed." О fountain Arethuse, and thou honor'd flood, Smooth-sliding Mincius, crown'd with vocal reeds! That strain I heard was of a higher mood : But now my oat proceeds, And listens to the herald of the sea That came in Neptune's plea ; 90

Էջ 42 - In thoughts more elevate, and reason'd high Of providence, foreknowledge, will, and fate, Fix'd fate, free will, foreknowledge absolute, And found no end, in wandering mazes lost Of good and evil much they argued then.

Էջ 17 - Then to come, in spite of sorrow, And at my window bid good-morrow, Through the sweet-brier, or the vine, Or the twisted eglantine : While the cock, with lively din, Scatters the rear of Darkness thin. And to the stack, or the barn-door Stoutly struts his dames before ; Oft listening how the hounds and hom Cheerly rouse the slumbering
