Side 115 - Now, strike your sailes, yee jolly Mariners, For we be come unto a quiet rode, Where we must land some of our passengers, And light this weary vessell of her lode...
Side 96 - Then, in his stead, from all disguis'd, to place In Grecian garb array'd the dame to face. Now to his friend the secret of his breast He told, and urg'd with prayers, the dear request, Him, for his sake, beneath a borrow'd name 4^5 With foreign vesture clad, to meet the dame.
Side 115 - And light this weary vessell of her lode. Here she a while may make her safe abode, Till she repaired have her tackles spent, And wants supplide. And then againe abroad On the long voyage whereto she is bent: Well may she speede, and fairely finish her intent.
Side 40 - As Flordelis at night in slumber lay The night preceding that unhappy day, She dreamt the mantle which her pious care Had fashioned for her Brandimart to wear. His ornament in fight, now, strange to view, Was sprinkled o'er with drops of sanguine hue : She thought her erring hand the vest hud stain'd.
Side 44 - Forgive me now th' involuntary tear, That mourns I still am doom'd to linger here : I weep not thou art fled from earth's annoy, 1275 But weep I cannot live with thee in joy. Here am I left — thou taken from my sight, What is there more t...

Side 55 - OFT in the lowly roof, the humble cell Of poverty, where pain and sorrow dwell, ^Sincerer virtues in the breast we meet Than in the stately dome and regal seat ; Where lords and kings are nurs'd in courtly...
Side 104 - But on a palfrey mounting, swiftly went Where Leon waited in the regal tent : 640 His arms around the warrior Leon threw, And like a brother to his bosom grew ; Then swift his helmet rais'd, his face vevealM And with a cordial kiss each cheek he seal'd, My all is yours ! — dispose of all...
Side 159 - The fatal plain with gory crimson dyed. Rogero now, with Fortune's favour crown'd, To keep the Pagan prisoner on the ground, One hand the dagger to his sight address'd, One hand with fearful grasp his throat compress'd, While either knee his heaving bosom press'd. As in Pannonian or Iberian gloom Where wretched miners cheerless days consume For shining ore, if fate above impends, And sudden ruin on their head descends, Crush'd up and bruised, their spirits scarcely find A vent to leave their mortal...
