Page 33 - Tell me not, Sweet, I am unkind That from the nunnery Of thy chaste breast and quiet mind, To war and arms I fly. True, a new mistress now I chase, The first foe in the field; And with a stronger faith embrace A sword, a horse, a shield. Yet this inconstancy is such As you too shall adore; I could not love thee, dear, so much, Loved I not honour more.
Page 207 - First American from the first London edition, with Notes by BENJAMIN F. JOSLIN, MD, Professor of Natural Philosophy in Union College. " It fully sustains the favorable opinion we have already expressed as to this valuable compendium of modern science.
Page 174 - Tell wit how much it wrangles In tickle points of niceness : Tell wisdom she entangles Herself in over-wiseness. And when they do reply, Straight give them both the lie.
