Thus in the spring, and thus in summer's heat, Before the sickles touch the...
Page 260 - From heav'n, his nursing from the foodful earth. Here his gigantic limbs, with large embrace, Infold nine acres of infernal space. A...
Page 242 - O'er whose unhappy waters, void of light, No bird presumes to steer his airy flight ; Such deadly stenches from the depth arise, And steaming sulphur, that infects the skies.
Page 113 - A thousand bleeding hearts her pow'r invoke. They climb the next ascent, and, looking down, Now at a nearer distance view the town. The prince with wonder sees the stately tow'rs, (Which late were huts, and shepherds...
Page 28 - Into his buxom bride his fruitful show'rs; And, mixing his large limbs with hers, he feeds Her births with kindly juice, and fosters teeming seeds.
