Page 160 - Three poets in three distant ages born, Greece, Italy, and England did adorn; The first in loftiness of thought surpassed, The next in majesty; in both the last. The force of Nature could no further go, To make a third she joined the former two.

Page 221 - Tis much more hard to please himself than you : And, out of no feign'd modesty, this day Damns his laborious trifle of a play : Not that it's worse than what before he writ, But he has now another taste of wit; And, to confess a truth, though out of time, Grows weary of his long-loved mistress, Rhyme.
Page 221 - Passion's too fierce to be in fetters bound, And nature flies him like enchanted ground: What verse can do he has perform'd in this, Which he presumes the most correct of his...
