Sida 96 - Verse sweetens toil, however rude the sound. All at her work the village maiden sings; Nor, while she turns the giddy wheel around, Revolves the sad vicissitude of things.
Sida 22 - Their arms away they threw, and to the hills, For earth hath this variety from heaven Of pleasure situate in hill and dale...
