Sida 17 - 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 25 - His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
Sida 27 - And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.

Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days : for yet the vision is for many days.
Sida 26 - And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
Sida 99 - Absalom," is, in my opinion, worth the whole poem : it is not bloody, but it is ridiculous enough ; and he, for whom it was intended, was too witty to resent it as an injury...
