And all my mother came into mine eyes And gave me up to tears. - [Mothers] And as imagination bodies forth The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen Turns them to shape and gives to airy nothing A local habitation and a name. Such tricks has strong imagination That if he would but apprehend some joy, It comprehends some bringer of that joy; Or in the night imagining some fear, How easy is a bush supposed a bear? - [Imagination] And being thus frighted swears a prayer or two, And sleep's again. - [Fear] And blind oblivion swallowed cities up. - [Oblivion] And do as adversaries do in law: Strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends. - [Adversaries] And either victory, or else a grave. - [Victory] And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest! - [Angels] And frame your mind to mirth and merrimnent, Which bars a thousand harms and lengthens life. - [Merriment] And her immortal part with angels lives. - [Soul] And her sunny locks Hang on her temples like a golden fleece. - [Hair] And his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. - [Age] And how his audit stands, who knows, save Heaven? - [Judgment] And many an old man's sigh, and many a widow's, And many an orphan's water-standing eye-- Men for their sons', wives for their husbands' fate, And orphans for their parents' timeless death,-- Shall rue the hour that ever thou wast born. - [Tyranny] And more such days as these to us befall! - [Birthday] And send him many years of sunshine days! - [Birthday] And so, from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe, And then, from hour to hour, we rot and rot; And thereby hangs a tale. - [Life] And steal immortal kisses from her lips; which even in pure and vestal modesty still blush as thinking their own kisses sin. - [Kisses] And steep my senses in forgetfulness. - [Oblivion] And teach me how To name the bigger light, and how the less That burn by day and night. - [Astronomy] And that same dew, which some time on the buds was wont to swell like round and orient pearls, stood now within the pretty floweret's eyes, like tears that did their own disgrace bewail. - [Tears] And then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. - [Students] And then, the justice; In fair round belly, with good capon lin'd, With eyes severe, and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances, And so he plays his part. - [Judges] And there at Venice gave His body to that pleasant country's earth, And his pure soul unto his captain Christ, Under whose colours he had fought so long. - [Death] And thereby hangs a tale. - [Story Telling] And this cuff was but to knock at your ear, and beseech listening. - [Listening] Displaying page 5 of 187 for this author: << Prev Next >> 1 2 3 4 [5] 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187
