 His tongue dropt manna, and could make the worse appear the better reason |
| How charming is divine philosophy! Not harsh and crabbed, as dull fools suppose, But musical as is Apollo's lute, And a perpetual feast of nectar'd sweets Where no crude surfeit reigns |
| How gladly would I meet mortality, my sentence, and be earth in sensible! how glad would lay me down, as in my mother's lap! There I should rest, and sleep secure. |
| How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth, stolen on his wing my three-and-twentieth year! |
| I am a part of all that I have met |
| I am a part of all that I have met |
| I argue not against heaven's hand or will, nor bate a jot of heart or hope, but still bear up, and steer right onward |
| I cannot praise a fugitive and cloistered virtue, unexercised and unbreathed, that never sallies out and sees her adversary, but slinks out of the race where that immortal garland is to be run for, not without dust and heat |
| I form'd them free, and free they must remain, Till they enthral themselves |
| I hear the far-off curfew sound, / Over some wide-watered shore, / Swinging slow with sullen roar. |
| I was all ear / And took in strains that might create a soul / Under the ribs of Death. |

| If they felt someone was out of line, they would tell them, |
| If this fail, / The pillared firmament is rottenness, / And earth's base built on stubble. |
| Implied / Subjection, but required with gentle sway / And by her yielded, by him best received; / Yielded with coy submission, modest pride, / And sweet reluctant amorous delay. |
