Σελίδα 19 - To daily fraud, contempt, abuse and wrong, Within doors, or without, still as a fool, In power of others, never in my own ; Scarce half I seem to live, dead more than half. O dark, dark, dark, amid the blaze of noon, Irrecoverably dark, total eclipse Without all hope of day! O first created beam, and thou great Word, Let there be light, and light was over all; Why am I thus bereaved thy prime decree?
Σελίδα 65 - Nothing is here for tears, nothing to wail Or knock the breast ; no weakness, no contempt, Dispraise, or blame, nothing but well and fair, And what may quiet us in a death so noble...
Σελίδα 19 - Why am I thus bereaved thy prime decree ? The sun to me is dark And silent as the moon, When she deserts the night, Hid in her vacant interlunar cave.
Σελίδα 17 - Retiring from the popular noise, I seek This unfrequented place to find some ease, Ease to the body some, none to the mind From restless thoughts, that, like a deadly swarm Of hornets arm'd, no sooner found alone, But rush upon me thronging, and present Times past, what once

Σελίδα 20 - I not been thus exil'd from light, As in the land of darkness, yet in light, To live a life half dead, a living death, And buried ; but, O yet more miserable ! Myself my sepulchre, a moving grave ; Buried, yet not exempt, By privilege of death and burial From worst of other evils, pains and wrongs ; But made hereby obnoxious more To all the miseries of life, Life in captivity Among inhuman foes.
Σελίδα 13 - Nor is Nature wanting in her own effects to make good his assertion : for so in physic things of melancholic hue and quality are used against, melancholy, sour against sour, salt to remove salt humours.
Σελίδα 49 - All these indignities, for such they are From thine, these evils I deserve and more, Acknowledge them from GOD inflicted on me Justly, yet despair not of His final pardon Whose ear is ever open, and His eye Gracious to readmit the suppliant...
Σελίδα 32 - O madness, to think use of strongest wines And strongest drinks our chief support of health, When GOD with these forbidden made choice to rear His mighty champion, strong above compare, Whose drink was only from the liquid brook.
Σελίδα 15 - Of the style and uniformity, and that commonly called the plot, whether intricate or explicit — which is nothing indeed but such economy, or disposition of the fable, as may stand best with verisimilitude and decorum — they only will best judge who are not unacquainted with yEschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, the three tragic poets unequalled yet by any, and the best rule to all who endeavour to write Tragedy.
