This guest of summer, The temple-haunting martlet, does approve By his loved mansionry that the heaven's breath Smells wooingly here : no jutty, frieze, Buttress, nor coign of vantage, but this bird Hath made his pendent bed and procreant cradle : Where they most breed and haunt, I have observed The air is delicate.
Σελίδα 271 - Shine ! shine ! shine ! Pour down your warmth, great sun ! While we bask, we two together. Two together !

Σελίδα 471 - We must come very softly because of our wives and children. I pray you hasten them. Stay not night nor day, for the matter requireth haste.
Σελίδα 412 - Nature these cates with such a lavish hand Pours out among them, that our coarser land Tastes of that bounty, and does cloth return, Which not for warmth, but ornament, is worn; For the kind spring, which but salutes us here, Inhabits there, and courts them all the year.
Σελίδα 268 - So every spirit, as it is most pure, And hath in it the more of heavenly light, So it the fairer body doth procure To habit in, and it more fairly dight, With cheerful grace and amiable sight. For, of the soul, the body form doth take, For soul is form, and doth the body make.
