Страница 73 - I KNOW a maiden fair to see, Take care ! She can both false and friendly be, Beware ! Beware ! Trust her not, She is fooling thee ! She has two eyes, so soft and brown, Take care ! She gives a side-glance and looks down, Beware ! Beware ! Trust her not, She is fooling thee...
Страница 43 - Thou little Child, yet glorious in the might Of heaven-born freedom on thy being's height, Why with such earnest pains dost thou provoke The years to bring the inevitable yoke, Thus blindly with thy blessedness at strife? Full soon thy Soul shall have her earthly freight, And custom lie upon thee with a weight, Heavy as frost, and deep almost as life!
Страница 195 - An idle poet, here and there, Looks round him; but, for all the rest, The world, unfathomably fair, Is duller than a witling's jest.

The smile that blest one lover's heart Has broken many more !

The lord of the sea is welcome to land, And here shall command All our wealth, and our arms ; For his name more alarms The Spaniards, than trumpets or drums : Hark, how they cry, Drake comes ! Drake comes ! CHORUS.
Страница 261 - Sie saßen und tranken am Theetisch, Und sprachen von Liebe viel. Die Herren die waren ästhetisch, Die Damen von zartem Gefühl. Die Liebe muß seyn platonisch, Der dürre Geheimrath sprach. Die Räthin lächelt ironisch, Und dennoch seufzet sie: Ach! Der Domherr öffnet den Mund weit: Die Liebe sey nicht zu roh, Sie schadet sonst der Gesundheit.
Страница 197 - He was neither dark nor fair, neither tall nor short, not well-looking, nor the reverse; his features were so little distinctive that no two persons who had passed half an hour in his company would agree in their account of the colour of his eyes or hair, the shape of his nose, or the height of his person, though generally unanimous in acknowledging his social qualities.
