108 페이지 - SCANDIA. SWEET pouting lip! whose color mocks the rose, Rich, ripe, and teeming with the dew of bliss, — The flower of Love's forbidden fruit, which grows Insidiously to tempt us with a kiss. Lovers, take heed! shun the deceiver's art; Mark between leaf and leaf the dangerous snare, Where serpent-like he lurks to sting the heart; His fell intent I see, and cry, " Beware ! " In other days his victim, well I know The will's that cost me many a pang and sigh.

105 페이지 - Aurora-like, earth, sea, and air. One hid her light, lest men should call her fair, And of her praises no reflected ray Suffered to cross her own celestial way ; — To charm and to be charmed, the other's care.

" I praised them all, — but one of all the three So charmed me, that I loved her, and became Her bard, and sung my passion, and her name, Till to the stars they soared past rivalry. Her only I adored, — and if my gaze Was turned elsewhere, it was but to admire Of her high...
3 페이지 - There is scarcely a poet," says the author of this work, " whose life excites a more profound and melancholy interest than that of Torquato Tasso. His short and brilliant career of glory captivates the imagination, while the heart is deeply affected by his subsequent misfortunes. Greater fame and greater misery h've seldom been the lot of man, and a few brief years sufficed for each extreme.
33 페이지 - I haste Where I must mark that snowy neck and breast By envied fingers played with and embraced : How shall I live, or where find peace or rest, If one kind look on me she will not waste To hint not vain my sighs, nor all unblest ? TO THE DUCHESS OF FERRARA, WHO APPEARED MASKED AT A FÊTE.
117 페이지 - Quivi con Tirsi ragionando andava Pur di colei, che nell' istessa rete . Lui prima, e me dappoi ravvolse, e strinse, E preponendo' alla sua fuga, al suo Libero stato il mio dolce servigio...
202 페이지 - J'eus plus de despit encore que de compassion, de le voir à Ferrare en si piteux estât, survivant à soy-mesmes, mesconnoissant et soy et ses ouvrages, lesquels, sans son sçeu, et toutesfois à sa veuë, on a mis en lumière incorrigez et informes1.
