Strana 115 - Don Carlos; My friend, (and never was a friend more dear) Deputed me his advocate in love, To talk to Leonora's heart, and make A tender party in her thoughts for him. What did I do ? 1 lov'd myself.
Strana 126 - Alonzo to request it of his friend, His friend to grant ; then, from that very grant, The strongest proof of friendship man can give, (And other motives,) to work out a cause...
Strana 146 - Tis certain A letter may be forg'd, and in a point Of such a dreadful consequence as this, One would rely on nought that might be false Think, have you any other cause to doubt her ? Away, you can find none. Resume your spirit; All's well again.
Strana 191 - This was the only method to subdue me. Terror and doubt fall on me : all thy good Now blazes ; all thy guilt is in the grave.
Strana 171 - I obey'd your order. Six ruffians overtook him on the road ; He fought as he was wont, and four he slew ; Then sunk beneath an hundred wounds to death : His last breath blest Alonzo, and desir'd His bones might rest near yours.
Strana 254 - tis plain ! this marriage gains her father. He join'd to Rome the crown. Thy words were true : He woos the diadem ; that diadem which I Despis'd for him. O, how unlike our loves ! But it is well ; he gives me my revenge. Wed Dymas' daughter ! What a fall is there ? Not the world's empire could repair his glory.
Strana 127 - Love reigns a sultan with unrivall'd sway ; Puts all relations, friendship's self, to death, If once he's jealous of it. I love Carlos ; Yet well I know what pangs I felt this morning At his intended nuptials. For myself I then felt pains, which now for him I feel.
Strana 128 - Carlos' match, and wherefore urge Alonzo's ? 'Twas the same cause, the love of wealth. Tomorrow May see Alonzo in Don Carlos' fortune ; A higher bidder is a better friend, And there are princes sigh for Leonora. When your friend's gone you'll wed ; why, then the cause Which gives you Leonora now will cease.
Strana 155 - And frankly own it, tho' to my shame I own it : Nought but your life in danger could have torn The secret out, and made me own my crime.
Strana 180 - Of my whole life encouraged you to this? Or of your own, what guilt has drawn it on you ? You find me kind, and think me kind to all ; The weak, ungenerous error of vour sex. What could inspire the thought? We oftenest judge Fom our own hearts; and is yours then so frail, It prompts you to conceive thus ill of me ? He that can stoop to harbour such a thought, Deserves to find it true.
