44 페이지 - For if such holy song Enwrap our fancy long, Time will run back, and fetch the age of gold; And speckled vanity Will sicken soon and die, And leprous sin will melt from earthly mould; And Hell itself will pass away, And leave her dolorous mansions to the peering day.

14 페이지 - By the eternal mind's poetic thought. Water and air he for the tenor chose, Earth made the bass, the treble flame arose, To th' active moon a quick brisk stroke he gave To Saturn's string a touch more soft and grave.
68 페이지 - With their habitual delicacy of mind, and reserve of manner, dress becomes a sort of symbolical language — a kind of personal glossary — a species of body phrenology, the study of which it would be madness to neglect.

49 페이지 - He knows what he is to choose for anxious fears, or lovers' entreaties, or songs of liberty, or dead marches, or any occasion, in short, which lies within the province of music — though exceptions to these rules must occur to every amateur, in which the intense feeling of the composer seems to triumph over the natural expression of the key.
