Halaman 91 - Think that no other cause on earth could move me To tremble thus, to sob, or shed a tear, Nor shake my solid virtue from her point, But Titus
Halaman 89 - Blood, the heart blood of Brutus, on his child; For thou must die, my Titus; die, my son: I swear the gods have doom'd thee to the grave. The violated genius of thy country Rears his sad head, and passes sentence on thee : This morning sun, that lights thy sorrows on To the tribunal of this horrid vengeance, Shall never see thee more.
Halaman 20 - fore th' autumnal moon ? When, in undulating twine, The foaming snakes prolific join ; When they hiss, and when they bear Their wond'rous egg aloof in air ; Thence, before to earth it fall, The Druid, in his hallow'd pall, Receives the prize ; And instant flies, Follow'd by th' envenom'd brood, 'Till he cross the chrystal flood.
Halaman 36 - And thou sbalt be my son : I had one, stranger, Just of thy years ; he look'd like thee right honest ; Had just that freeborn boldness on his brow, And yet he fail'd me.
Halaman 78 - High tower'd his helmed head : I mark'd his mail, I mark'd his shield, I 'spy'd the sparkling of his spear, I saw his giant arm the falchion wield ; Wide wav'd the bick'ring blade, and fir'd the angry air.
Halaman 88 - And 1, alas ! am doom'd to see him die. Where are your healing arts, medicinal herbs, Ye holy men, your wonder-working spells ? Pluck me but out this shaft, stanch but this blood, And I will call down blessings on your heads With such a fervency— And can ye not ! , Then let me beg you on my bended knee, Give to my misery some opiate drug, • May shut up all my senses.
Halaman 63 - Oh, sir Harry ! this is raillery. But your serious thoughts upon the matter, pray. Wild. Why, then, madam, to give you my true sentiments, of wedlock : I had a lady that I married by chance, she was virtuous by chance, and I loved her by great chance.
Halaman 89 - ... the shame of a whore, she'll dispatch you the sin in a moment. Wild. We're obliged to you, ladies, for your advice ; and in return, give me leave to give you the definition of a good wife, in the character of my own. The wit of her conversation never outstrips the conduct of her behaviour ; she's affable to all men, free with no man, and only kind to me ; often chearful, sometimes gay, and always pleased, but when I'm angry; then sorry, not sullen.
Halaman 22 - Nor ask, fot privilege, a praetor's edict. Ye, with your tough and intertwisted roots, Grasp the firm rocks ye sprung from ; and, erect In knotty hardihood, still proudly spread Your leafy banners 'gainst the tyrannous north, Who Roman like assails you.
Halaman 78 - The fillet bursts that bound His liberal locks ; his snowy vestments fall In ampler folds ; and all his floating form Doth seem to glisten with divinity ! Yet is he speechless.
