Seite 203 - Whose howl's his watch, thus with his stealthy pace, With Tarquin's ravishing strides, towards, his design Moves like a ghost. Thou sure and firm-set earth, Hear not my steps, which way they walk, for fear The very stones prate of my whereabout, And take the present horror from the time, Which now suits with it.

Seite 54 - An Impeachment of High Treason against Oliver Cromwell and his son-inlaw Henry Ireton,« and other similar attacks upon the Protector, for which he was at that moment in prison.
Seite 207 - Oh! death, death, death!" in a most inimitable tone, and which struck me with horror and a chillness in my very blood.

Seite 161 - And her eyes, she did enslave me. But her constancy's so weak, She's so wild and apt to wander, That my jealous heart would break Should we live one day asunder. Melting joys about her move, Killing pleasures, wounding blisses, She can dress her eyes in love, And her lips can arm with kisses; Angels listen when she speaks, She's my delight, all mankind's wonder; But my jealous heart would break, Should we live one day asunder.
