 Beauty is Nature's brag, and must be shown/ In courts, at feasts, and high solemnities. |
| Beauty is Nature's coin, must not be hoarded, but must be current. |
| Beauty stands / In the admiration only of weak minds / Led captive. |
| Before the starry threshold of Jove's Court / My mansion is. |
| Beholding the bright countenance of truth in the quiet and still air of delightful studies |
| Best image of myself and dearer half. |
| Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven. |
| Better to rule in Hell than to serve in Heaven |
| Black it stood as night, / Fierce as ten furies, terrible as hell, / And shook a dreadful dart. |
| Blest pair of Sirens, pledges of Heav'n's joy,/ Sphere-born harmonious sisters, voice and verse. |
| Blind mouths! that scarce themselves know how to hold / A sheep-hook. |
| Books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are; nay they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them |
| But O as to embrace me she inclined, / I waked, she fled, and day brought back my night. |
| But O the heavy change, now thou art gone, / Now thou art gone, and never must return! |
| But that two-handed engine at the door, / Stands ready to smite once, and smite no more. |
