Страница 215 - FAIRFAX, whose name in arms through Europe rings, Filling each mouth with envy or with praise, And all her jealous monarchs with amaze, And rumours loud that daunt remotest kings ; Thy firm unshaken virtue ever brings Victory home, though new rebellions raise Their Hydra heads, and the false North displays Her broken league to imp their serpent wings.

Страница 162 - With sweetest touches pierce your mistress' ear, And draw her home with music. [Music. Jessica. I am never merry when I hear sweet music. Lor.
