We, Hermia, like two artificial gods, Have with our needles created both one flower, Both on one sampler, sitting on one cushion, Both warbling of one song, both in one key ; As if our hands, our sides, voices, and minds, Had been incorporate.

Seite 466 - Like the moon, We borrow all the brightness which we boast, Dark in ourselves, and useless. If that hand, That rules the fate of battles, strike for us, Crown us with fame, and gild our clay with honour, 'Twere most ungrateful to disown the benefit} And arrogate a praise which is not ours. Ax. With such unshaken temper of the soul To bear the swelling tide of prosperous fortune, Is to deserve that fortune : in adversity The mind grows tough by buffeting the tempest, Which, in success dissolving,...
Seite 10 - O woman ! in our hours of ease. Uncertain, coy, and hard to please ; — When pain and anguish wring the brow, A ministering angel thou !
Seite 188 - Oh ! had we some bright little isle of our own In a blue summer ocean far off and alone, 'Where a leaf never dies in the still blooming bowers ; And the bee banquets on through a whole year.
