231. lappuse - WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE. (1564-1616.) "I loved the man, and do honour his memory, on this side idolatry, as much as any. He was indeed honest, and of an open and free nature; had an excellent phantasy, brave notions, and gentle expressions, wherein he flowed with that facility that sometimes it was necessary he should be stopped.
280. lappuse - was like a star, and dwelt apart: Thou hadst a voice whose sound was like the sea: Pure as the naked heavens, majestic, free. So didst thou travel on life's common way In cheerful godliness; and yet thy heart The lowliest duties on herself did lay.
449. lappuse - A king can make a belted knight, A marquis, duke, and a' that; But an honest man's aboon his might, Guid faith he maunna fa' that, For a' that, and a' that, Their dignities and a" that, The pith o' sense and pride o' worth Are higher ranks than a' that,
353. lappuse - He has restored virtue to its dignity, and taught innocence not to be ashamed. This is an elevation of literary character, above all Greek, above all Roman fame. . . . Whoever wishes to attain an English style, familiar but not coarse, and elegant but not ostentatious, must give his days and nights to the volumes of Addison.
198. lappuse - There let Hymen oft appear In saffron robe, with taper clear, And pomp, and feast, and revelry, With mask and antique pageantry, Such sights as youthful poets dream On summer eves by haunted stream." * But the Elizabethan passion for dress and ornament is but a surface indication of the immense delight in life

" ' However we may appreciate these differences in the spirit of two great poets, we do Milton wrong if we fail to

448. lappuse - with the poet's soul quivering at the throb of pain. "Still them art blest, compared wi' me, The present only toucheth thee; But och! I backward cast my e'e On prospects drear! An' forward, tho' I canna see, I guess and fear." Here in the midst of the lingering affectations of the time vibrates the anguish of
200. lappuse - This England never did, nor never shall, Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror, But when it first did help to wound itself. Now these her princes are come home again, Come the three corners of the world in arms, And we shall shock them. Nought shall make us rue, If England to itself do rest but true. And the
307. lappuse - France, but felt our captive's charms; Her arts victorious triumphed o'er our arms; Britain, to soft refinements less a foe, Wit grew polite, and numbers learn'd to flow.
