Página 388 - delights have violent 'ends, And in their triumph 'die ! like fire and powder, Which, as they kiss, 'consume. The sweetest honey Is loathsome in its own 'deliciousness, And in the taste confounds the appetite ; Therefore, love 'moderately ; 'long love doth so ; Too 'swift arrives as tardy as too 'slow.

Página 260 - Had you come a little sooner," she said, "you might at least have lent us a hand, for a wolf broke into the farm and has butchered all our cattle; but though he got off, it was no laughing matter for him, for a servant of ours ran him through with a pike." Hearing this, I could not close an eye; but as soon as it was daylight I ran home like a pedlar that has been eased of his pack. Coming to the place where the clothes had been turned into stone, I saw nothing but a pool of blood; and when I got...
Página 204 - The palla, as well as the pallium and palliolum, was always a rectangular piece of cloth, exactly, or, at least, nearly square. It was, indeed, used in the very form in which it was taken from the loom, being made entirely by the weaver.
Página 378 - Neaera, hold me fast ; And hanging o'er, to view confest, Your neck, and gently-heaving breast ; Down on my shoulders soft decline Your beauties more than half divine ; With wand'ring looks that o'er me rove, And fire the melting soul with love : While you, Neaera, fondly join Your little pouting lips with mine ; And frolic bite your am'rous swain, Complaining soft if bit again ; And sweetly-murm'ring pour along The trembling accents of your tongue, Your tongue, now here now there that strays, Now...
Página 379 - Venting the gently-whisper'd sigh; A sigh that kindles warm desires, And kindly fans life's drooping fires; Soft as the zephyr's breezy wing, And balmy as the breath of spring: While you, sweet nymph! with am'rous play, In kisses suck my breath away; My breath with wasting warmth replete, Parch'd by my breast's contagious heat; Till, breathing soft, you pour again Returning life through every vein; Thus soothe to rest my passion's rage, Love's burning fever thus assuage: Sweet nymph! whose...
Página 81 - Weeps for the ruin'd merchant, when he roars; Rather, the wind courts but the pregnant sails, When the strong cordage cracks ; rather, the sun Comes but to kiss the fruit in wealthy autumn, When all falls blasted.
Página 259 - ... town ; for he was a soldier, and as bold as death. We set out about cock-crow, and the moon shone bright as day, when coming amongst some monuments my man began to converse with the stars, whilst I jogged on singing and counting them.
Página 243 - Pardon me, my friends," he said, after a short pause, " I have been costive for several days, and my physicians were at a loss about it, but a decoction of pomegranate rind, and fir wood steeped in vinegar, have given me ease ; and now I hope my belly may be ashamed if it keep no better order ; for sometimes I have such a rumbling about my stomach you'd think an ox was bellowing.
