And rise not, on us shining, Friendly, the everlasting stars ? Look I not, eye to eye, on thee, And feel'st not, thronging To head and heart, the force, Still weaving its eternal secret, Invisible, visible, round...
Page 327 - Written upon the west end thereof, " Not monumental stone preserves our fame, Nor skye-aspiring pyramids our name. The memory of him for whom this stands, Shall outlive marble, and defacers' hands. When all to time's consumption shall be given, Stanley, for whom this stands, shall stand in heaven.
Page 334 - One of her hands one of her cheeks lay under, Cozening the pillow of a lawful kisse, Which therefore swel'd and seem'd to part asunder. As angry to be rob'd of such a bliss : The one lookt pale, and for revenge did long, Whilst t'other blush'd, cause it had done the wrong.
