Seite 251 - gainst the thunderstroke; And from beneath his boughs were seen to sally The dappled foresters — as day awoke, The branching stag swept down with all his herd, To quaff a brook which murmur'd like a bird.
Seite 180 - The first attack at once proved the Divinity (But that I never doubted, nor the Devil) ; The next, the Virgin's mystical virginity ; The third, the usual Origin of Evil ; The fourth at once established the whole Trinity On so uncontrovertible a level, That I devoutly wish'd the three were four, On purpose to believe so much the more.
