Strana 140 - If thou hast nature in thee, bear it not ; Let not the royal bed of Denmark be A couch for luxury and damned incest.
Strana 214 - How oft, when press'd to marriage, have I said, Curse on all laws but those which love has made! Love, free as air, at sight of human ties, Spreads his light wings, and in a moment flies...
Strana 78 - She, while her lover pants upon her breast, Can mark the figures on an Indian chest ; And when she sees her friend in...
Strana 138 - And that must end us, that must be our cure, To be no more. Sad cure! for who would lose, Though full of pain, this intellectual being, Those thoughts that wander through eternity, To perish rather, swallowed up and lost In the wide womb of uncreated Night, Devoid of sense and motion?

Strana i - For to say, that a blind custom of obedience should be a surer obligation, than duty taught and understood; it is to affirm, that a blind man may tread surer by a guide, than a seeing man can by a light.
Strana 40 - As was her sister; whether dread did dwell Or anguish in her hart, is hard to tell: Upon her arme a silver anchor lay, Whereon she leaned ever, as befell : And ever up to heaven, as she did pray, Her stedfast eyes were bent, ne swarved other way.
