127. oldal - Howe'er it be, it seems to me, Tis only noble to be good. Kind hearts are more than coronets, And simple faith than Norman blood.
258. oldal - There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore. There is society where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not man the less, but nature more...
26. oldal - Since painted, or not painted, all shall fade, And she who scorns a man must die a maid What then remains but well our power to use, And keep good humour still whate'er we lose? 30 And trust me, dear! good humour can prevail When airs and flights and screams and scolding fail. Beauties in vain their pretty eyes may roll: Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.

238. oldal - E say they all have passed away, That noble race and brave ; That their light canoes have vanished From off the crested wave ; That, 'mid the forests where they roamed, There rings no hunter's shout ; But their name is on your waters, Ye may not wash it out.
66. oldal - tis Cupid's fire ; Yet all so fair but speak my moan, Sith nought doth say the heart of stone. Why thus, my love, so kind bespeak Sweet lip, sweet eye, sweet blushing cheek, Yet not a heart to save my pain ? O Venus, take thy gifts again ; Make not so fair to cause our moan, Or make a heart that's like our own. THOMAS WATSON. 1560—1 591. Ekatompathvt, «r Passionate Oenturie of Love.
