Page 83 - Christ was the word that spake it; He took the bread and brake it ; And what the word did make it, That I believe and take it.
Page 221 - Since once I sat upon a promontory, And heard a mermaid on a dolphin's back Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath. That the rude sea grew civil at her song, And certain stars shot madly from their spheres, To hear the sea-maid's music.
Page 343 - Some gentler passions slide into my mind, For I am soft and made of melting snow; • Or be more cruel, Love, and so be kind; Let me or float or sink, be high or low: Or let me live with some more sweet content, Or die, and so forget what love e'er meant.

The top of hope supposed the root of ruth will be ; And fruitless all their graffed guiles, as shortly ye shall see.

Page 222 - The Daughter of Debate, that eke discord doth sow, Shall reap no gain where former rule hath taught still peace to grow No foreign banished wight shall anchor in this port; Our realm it brooks no stranger's force, let them elsewhere resort. Our rusty sword with rest shall first his edge employ, To poll their tops that seek such change and gape for joy.
Page 106 - This judgment I have of you, that you will not be corrupted with any manner of gift and that you will be faithful to the State, and that without respect of my private will, you will give me that counsel that you think best...
Page 8 - God of His infinite goodness send prosperous life and long to the high and mighty princess of England, Elizabeth!
