Страница 252 - Forget my frailties ; thou art also frail : Forgive my lapses ; for thyself mayst fall : Nor read, unmoved, my artless tender tale, I was a friend, O man ! to thee, to all.
Страница 277 - To view the festive rites, the knightly play, That deck'd heroic Albion's elder day; To mark the mouldering halls of Barons bold, And the rough castle, cast in giant mould; With Gothic manners Gothic arts explore, And muse on the magnificence of yore.
Страница 68 - ... made her the most deformed person that could be seen, for a great while after she recovered ; yet he was nothing troubled at it, but married her as soon as she was able to quit the chamber, when the priest and all that saw her were affrighted to look on her ; but God recompensed his justice and constancy by restoring her, though she was longer than ordinary before she recovered, as well as before.
