Página 180 - Are not a spoil for him, — thou dost arise And shake him from thee ; the vile strength he wields For earth's destruction thou dost all despise, Spurning him from thy bosom to the skies, And send'st him, shivering in thy playful spray And howling, to his Gods, where haply lies His petty hope in some near port or bay, And dasbest him again to earth : — there let him lay.
Página 30 - Mine for me — Who were it but God's for Him, And the King's for — who but he ? Both faithful and loyal, one grace more shall brim His cup with perfection : a lady's true lover, He holds — save his God and his king — none above her.
Página 41 - Shove him quick in the Hole, shut him fast for a week : Cold, darkness and hunger work wonders : Who lion-like roars now, mouse-fashion will squeak, And ' it rains ' soon succeed to
