Sida 181 - The English have only to boast of Spenser and Milton, who neither of them wanted either genius or learning to have been perfect poets; and yet both of them are liable to many censures.
Sida 96 - Nor has my love made any coxcomb vain. Your boldnefs I with admiration fee ; What hope had you to gain a queen like me...
