pent, having married a lady of a most extraordinary PART
wit and judgment, and of the most signal virtue '
and exemplary life, that the age produced, and who 1635 -
brought him many hopeful children, in which he
took great delight ; yet he confessed it, with the
most sincere and dutiful applications to his father
for his pardon that could be made ; and for the pre-
judice l he had brought upon his fortune, by bring-
ing no portion to him, he offered to repair it, by re-
signing his whole estate to his disposal, and to rely
wholly upon his kindness for his own maintenance
and support; and to that purpose, he had caused
conveyances to be drawn by council, which he
brought ready
engrossed
to his father, and was will-
ing to seal and execute them, that they might be
valid : but his father's passion and indignation so
far transported him, (though he was a gentleman of
excellent parts,) that he refused any reconciliation,
and rejected all the offers that were made him of
the estate ; so that his son remained still in the pos-
session of his estate against his will ; for which he
found great reason afterwards to rejoice : but he
was for the present so much afflicted with his fa-
ther's displeasure, that he transported himself and
his wife into Holland, resolving to buy some mili-
tary command, and to spend the remainder of his
life in that profession : but being disappointed in
the treaty he expected, and finding no opportunity
to accommodate himself with such a command, he
returned again into England ; resolving to retire to
a country life, and to his books ; that since he was
not like to improve himself in arms, he might ad-
vance in letters.

Rilke - Poems |
|
In country villages each step is seen
In the midst of society, he was absent from it
Monks are knaves in Virtue's mask
No folly greater than to heighten pain
No grief so great, but what may be subdued
No pleasure's free from care you may rely
Not overburdened with a store of wit
Of't what we would not, we're obliged to do
Opportunity you can't discern--prithee go and learn
Perhaps one half our bliss to chance we owe
Possession had his passion quite destroyed
Regarded almost as an imbecile by the crowd
Removed from sight, but few for lovers grieve
Sight of meat brings appetite about
Some ostentation ever is with grief
The eyes:-- Soul-speaking language, nothing can disguise
The god of love and wisdom ne'er agree
The less of such misfortunes said is best
The more of this I think, the less I know
The plaint is always greater than the woe
The promises of kings are airy dreams
The wish to please is ever found the same
Those who weep most the soonest gain relief
Though expectations oft away have flown
Tis all the same:--'twill never make me grieve
Tis past our pow'r to live on love or air
To avoid the tempting bit, 'Tis better far at table not to sit
Too much you may profess
Twere wrong with hope our fond desires to feed
Was always wishing distant scenes to know
We scarcely good can find without alloy
When husbands some assistance seemed to lack
When mourning 's nothing more than change of dress
When passion prompts, few
obstacles
can clog
While good, if spoken, scarcely is believed
Who knows too much, oft shows a want of sense
Who only make friends in order to gain voices in their favour
Who would wish to reduce Boccaccio to the same modesty as Virgil
Who, born for hanging, ever yet was drowned?

The Christis Kirk Stave
215
Next to the six-line stave in rime couée, the favourite stave of
Ramsay, Fergusson and other poets of the revival was what may
be termed the Christis Kirk stave, which, though probably the
invention of the author of that poem and of Peblis to the Play, is,
also, the metre of
what—from
a reference of Sir David Lyndsay~
must be regarded as a very old poem, Sym and his Brudir, and is
used by Alexander Scott in his Justing and Debait.

The
derogation
of her gentle Belacqua from one whom she had loved in all the shadows and tangles of his conduct to a trite spy of the vilest description was not to be set aside by a girl of her mettle merely on account of its being a great shock to her sentimental system.

As will be shown, those who write about Venice only reproduce this discourse of self-mirroring, and that discourse proves to be as
irresistible
and inescapable as the city itself.

Meanwhile
the rural ditties were not mute;
Temper'd to the oaten flute,
Rough Satyrs danced, and Fauns with cloven heel
From the glad sound would not be absent long;
And old Damoetas loved to hear our song.
