Page 507 - Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho' We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will 70 To strive, to seek, to find, and
Page 74 - In delay there lies no plenty; Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty, Youth's a stuff will not endure. TAKE, OH, TAKE THOSE LIPS AWAY (From Measure for Measure, IV. 1, 1603) Take, oh take those lips away, That so sweetly were forsworn; And those eyes, the break of day, Lights that do mislead the morn;

Page 402 - And storm, and darkness, ye are wondrous strong, Yet lovely in your strength, as is the light Of a dark eye in woman! Far along, From peak to peak, the rattling crags among Leaps the live thunder! Not from one lone cloud, But every mountain now hath found a tongue,
Page 286 - But, och! I backward cast my e'e, On prospects drear! An' forward, tho' I canna see, I guess an' fear! TO A MOUNTAIN DAISY, ON TURNING ONE DOWN WITH THE PLOUGH IN APRIL, 1786 Wee, modest, crimson-tipped flow'r, Thou's met me in an evil hour; For I maun crush amang the stour Thy slender stem:
