Page 459 - With deafning clamours in the slippery clouds, That, with the hurly," death itself awakes ?

Page 505 - Whose high upreared and abutting fronts The perilous narrow ocean parts asunder : Piece out our imperfections with your thoughts ; Into a thousand parts divide one man, And make imaginary puissance ; Think, when we talk of horses, that you see them Printing their proud hoofs i...
