Sida 53 - My guard, too, thatobserv'd me stilbso close, Tire in the task of their inhuman office, And loiter far behind. Alas ! I faint, My spirits fail at once — This is the door Of my Alicia Blessed opportunity ! I'll steal a little succour from her goodness, Now while no eye observes me. [She knocks at the Door.
Sida 17 - And you, the brightest of the stars above, Ye saints, that once were women here below, Be witness of the truth, the holy friendship, Which here to this my other self I vow. If I not hold her nearer to my soul, Than every other joy the world can give, Let poverty, deformity, and shame, Distraction and despair seize me on earth, Let not my faithless ghost have peace hereafter, Nor taste the bliss of your celestial fellowship.

My lab'ring heart that swells with indignation, Heaves to discharge the...
Sida 49 - Around her, numberless the rabble flow'd, Should'ring each other, crowding for a view, Gaping and gazing, taunting and reviling; Some pitying, but those, alas! how few! The most, such iron hearts we are, and such The base barbarity of human kind, With insolence and lewd reproach pursu'd her, Hooting and railing, and with villainous hands Gathering the filth from out the common ways, To hurl upon her head.
Sida 44 - You heard, the duke's commands to me were absolute. Therefore, my lord, address you to your shrift, With all good speed you may. Summon your courage, And be yourself; for you must die this instant.
Sida 21 - Some sullen influence, a foe to both, Has wrought this fatal marriage to undo us. Mark but the frame and temper of our minds, How very much we differ. Ev'n this day, That fills thee with such...
