Seite 17 - And, worthy George, by industry and use Let's see what lines Virginia will produce. Go on with Ovid as you have begun With the first five books;8 let your numbers run 40 Glib* as the former, so shall it live long, And do much honor to the English tongue.
Seite 23 - Tis said the Gods lower down that Chain above, That tyes both Prince and Subject up in Love'; And if this Fiction of the Gods be true, Few, Mary-Land, in this can boast but you : Live ever blest, and let those Clouds that do Eclipse most States, be always Lights to you ; And dwelling so, you may for ever be The only Emblem of Tranquility.
