Hers was a beauty that made sad the eye, Bright, but fast fading, like a twilight sky: The shape so finely, delicately frail, As form'd for climes unruffled by a gale; The lustrous eye, through which look'd forth the soul, The New Timon. 22. Along her cheek the deep'ning red Told where the fev'rish hectic fed; And yet each token gave To the mild beauty of her face, Unwarning of the grave. J. G. WHITTIER. DISHONESTY-ROGUES-THIEVES. 1.

Lay breath so bitter on your bitter foe. SHAKSPEARE. 3. Go, speak not to me; even now begone! SHAKSPEARE. 4. No cloud 5. Of anger shall remain, but peace assur'd, Do not blast my springing hopes, 6. 'Tis then the mind, from bondage free, And all its former weakness o'er, Asserts its native dignity, And scorns what folly priz'd before. 7. And to be wroth with one we love, Doth work like madness in the brain. MILTON. ROWE. CARTWRIGHT. COLERIDGE'S Christabel, 8. O, where are the bright-beaming glances I miss!
