Side 87 - ... doth need a language, still Doth the old instinct bring back the old names, And to yon starry world they now are gone, Spirits or gods, that used to share this earth With man as with their friend ; and to the lover Yonder they move, from yonder visible sky Shoot influence down : and even at this day 'Tis Jupiter who brings whate'er is great, And Venus who brings everything that's fair ! Thek.

Side 144 - Sae sweet his voice, sae smooth his tongue; His breath's like caller air; His very fit has music in't, As he comes up the stair. And will I see his face again? And will I hear him speak? I'm downright dizzy wi' the thought: In troth I'm like to greet.
Side 152 - He had evidently a certain familiarity with the Portuguese language and literature ; but the task was beyond his powers : he lacked linguistic education, taste, and poetic verve. Musgrave's first mistake was to choose the " most elevated of measures," blank verse, which is, I need hardly say, verse in none but the master-hand. While rhyme enriches and almost poetises prosaic diction, Verso sciolto cannot live without a current of vivifying thought or 1 TheLusiad, | an Epic | Poem, | by | Luis de...
Side 143 - Mickle read Duperron de Castera,1 and Fanshaw may have determined him to reclothe Camoens in the dress of the day. The " Gentleman's Magazine " (March, 1771), printed the Adamastor-episode (Canto v.), which is still sold; and, during the following summer, Discovery of India ; (ii.)
