Страница 4 - Whose honours with increase of ages grow, As streams roll down, enlarging as they flow; Nations unborn your mighty names shall sound, And worlds applaud that must not yet be found!
Страница 198 - And wilt thou leave me thus ? Say nay ! say nay ! And wilt thou leave me thus ? That hath loved thee so long In wealth and woe among ; And is thy heart so strong As for to leave me thus ? Say nay ! say nay...
