Strana 32 - on the plains of Heaven, And shook his throne. What though the field be lost? All is not lost; the unconquerable will, And study of revenge, immortal hate, And courage never to submit or yield, And what is else not to be overcome ; That glory never shall his wrath or might Extort from
Strana 18 - Elysian flowers, and hear Such strains as would have won the ear Of Pluto, to have quite set free His half-regain'd Eurydice. These delights if thou canst give. Mirth, with thee I mean to live. ■ ' IL PENSEROSO. Hence, vain deluding Joys, The brood of Folly, without father bred ! How little you bested, Or
Strana 148 - still with awful eye, As if they surely knew their sovran Lord was by. But peaceful was the night. Wherein the Prince of light His reign of peace upon the Earth began : The winds, with wonder whist, Smoothly the waters kist, Whispering new joys to the mild ocean. Who now hath quite forgot to rave,

Of happiness and final misery, Passion and apathy, and glory and shame, Vain wisdom all, and
