Էջ 24 - From too much love of living, From hope and fear set free, We thank with brief thanksgiving Whatever gods may be That no life lives for ever; That dead men rise up never; That even the weariest river Winds somewhere safe to sea.
Էջ 234 - From low to high doth dissolution climb, And sink from high to low, along a scale Of awful notes, whose concord shall not fail; A musical but melancholy chime, Which they can hear who meddle not with crime, Nor avarice, nor over-anxious care. Truth fails not; but her outward forms that bear The longest date do melt like frosty rime, That in the morning whitened hill and plain And is no more; drop like the tower sublime Of yesterday, which royally did wear His crown of weeds, but could not even sustain...

Էջ 158 - No, no, let us play, for it is yet day, And we cannot go to sleep; Besides, in the sky the little birds fly, And the hills are all covered with sheep.' 'Well, well, go and play till the light fades away, And then go home to bed.
Էջ 298 - A thousand ages in thy sight are like an evening gone, short as the watch that ends the night before the rising sun.
Էջ 298 - O GoD, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home.
Էջ 292 - Ms. 31922 [Pastime with good company] Pastime with good company I love, and shall until I die. Grutch who lust, but none deny, So God be pleased, thus live will I. For my pastance, Hunt, sing, and dance, My heart is set; All goodly sport For my comfort, Who shall me let?
