From all these, and this dull air, A fit object for despair, She hath taught me by her might To draw comfort and delight.
Page 26 - Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me.
Page 211 - Glorious in beauty though it be, is scarred With tokens of old wars; thy massive limbs Are strong with struggling. Power at thee has launched His bolts, and with his lightnings smitten thee : They could not quench the life thou hast from heaven.
Page 108 - He nothing common did, or mean, Upon that memorable scene. But with his keener eye The axe's edge did try : Nor called the gods with vulgar spite To vindicate his helpless right ; But bowed his comely head Down, as upon a bed.
