Страница 15 - Since once I sat upon a promontory, And heard a mermaid on a dolphin's back Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath, That the rude sea grew civil at her song, And certain stars shot madly from their spheres, To hear the sea-maid's music.
Страница 16 - At a fair vestal throned by the West, And loos'd his love-shaft smartly from his bow, As it should pierce a hundred thousand hearts : But I might see young Cupid's fiery shaft Quench'd in the chaste beams of the wat'ry moon, And the imperial vot'ress passed on, In maiden meditation, fancy-free.

Страница 38 - I have had a most rare vision. I have had a dream, — past the wit of man to say what dream it was.
Страница 7 - I have seen the Red Bull Playhouse, which was a large one, so full, that as many went back for want of room as had entered ; and as meanly as you may now think of these drols, they were then acted by the best comedians then and now in being...
Страница 35 - But, I pray you, let none of your people stir me ; I have an exposition of sleep come upon me, Tita. Sleep thou, and I will wind thee in my arms. Fairies, be gone, and be all ways away. So doth the woodbine the sweet honeysuckle Gently entwist ; the female ivy so Enrings the barky fingers of the elm.
