Strana 75 - sides. Come, and trip it as you go, On the light fantastic toe: And in thy right hand lead with thee The mountain-nymph, sweet Liberty ; And if I give thee honour due, Mirth, admit me of thy crew, To live with her, and live with thee, In unreproved pleasures free. L'ALLEGRO,
Strana 332 - And afterwards: -—Here at least We shall be free ! th'Almighty hath not built Here for his envy ; will not drive us hence: Here we may reign secure; and in my choice To reign is worth ambition, though in hell: Better to reign in hell, than serve in heaven. i. 258.
Strana 75 - Haste thee nymph, and bring with thee Jest and youthful jollity, Quips, and cranks, and wanton wiles, Nods, and becks, and wreathed smiles, Such as hang on Hebe's cheek, And love to live in dimple sleek; Sport, that wrinkled Care derides, And Laughter

Strana 245 - Who shall tempt, with wandering feet, The dark, unbottom'd, infinite, abyss, And through the palpable obscure find out His uncouth way, or spread his airy flight, Upborne with indefatigable wings, Over the vast abrupt? ii. 404. — So both ascend In the visions of God.—
Strana 370 - a far greater honour to mankind in general, as he gives us a glimpse of them even before they are in being. The rising of this great assembly is described in a very sublime and poetical manner : Their rising all at once was as the sound Of thunder heard remote.—
