Popular passages
Page 53 - How soft the music of those village bells,' Falling at intervals upon the ear In cadence sweet ! now dying all away, Now pealing loud again, and louder still, Clear and sonorous, as the gale comes on ! With easy force it opens all the cells Where Memory slept.
Page 123 - O, how this spring of love resembleth The uncertain glory of an April day ; Which now shows all the beauty of the sun, And by and by a cloud takes all away ! Re-enter PANTHINO.

Page 150 - O God ! that one might read the book of fate, And see the revolution of the times Make mountains level, and the continent, Weary of solid firmness, melt itself Into the sea : and, other times, to see The beachy girdle of the ocean Too wide for Neptune's hips...

Page 208 - Beauty ! thou pretty plaything ! dear deceit ! That steals so softly o'er the stripling's heart, And gives it a new pulse, unknown before ! The grave discredits thee : thy charms expung'd, Thy roses faded, and thy lilies soil'd, What hast thou more to boast of?
Page 239 - The very first swoln surge shall sweep us in. Think we or think we not, time hurries on With a resistless unremitting stream, Yet treads more soft than e'er did midnight thief That slides his hand under the miser's pillow And carries off his prize.
Page 240 - LOVE.' [The name of this Song is borrowed from a Poem so ealled signed 'Cesario,' In the British Album.] HENCB far from me, ye senseless joys That fade before ye reach the heart,.... The crowded dome's distracted noise, Where all is pomp and useless art ! Give me my home, to quiet dear, Where hours untold and peaceful move; So fate ordain I sometimes there May hear the voice of him I love.
