Side iii - TASSO'S JERUSALEM DELIVERED: an Heroic' Poem; with Notes, and occasional Illustrations. Translated by the Rev.
Side 118 - Convened the inmates of th' eternal shade : Hell's gloomy caverns shook at every pore ; The murky air return'd the sullen roar : Not half so loud, from upper regions driven, Bursts on th...
Side 125 - In native curls her waving ringlets flow, Yet added curls the breathing gales bestow : Her eye was fix'd upon herself alone, As greedy of Love's treasures, and its own : Glow'd on her cheek the rose's purple light, Though soften'd by the blending ivory's white ; But on her lips, whence breezy fragrance blows.

Quick they strip off, and ev'ry helm divest Of painted, plumage, and of nodding crest; Alike they quit their heart's proud guise, and pour Of penitential tears a pious shower.
Side 331 - These declarations, indeed, amount to no more than that gold is better than tinsel, and true wit than false ; a discovery which does no great honour to the author ; but those who are accustomed to take things in the gross and to adopt the judgment of others because they...
Side 230 - Aseends the lofly eitadel, where lie The weapons of the armies of the sky. There stood the spear, whose point the serpent quell'd That first against th...
Side 230 - Terehinthus' vale didst guide Unskilful arms to tame Goliath's pride, That he, the...
