Side 55 - A servant with this clause makes drudgery divine; who sweeps a room, as for thy laws, makes that and the action fine.
Side 305 - Our gloom-pleased eyes, embowered from the light, Enshaded in forgetfulness divine : O soothest Sleep ! if so it please thee, close, In midst of this thine hymn, my willing eyes, Or wait the amen...
Side 275 - I sent my Soul through the Invisible, Some letter of that After-life to spell: And by and by my Soul return'd to me, And answer'd "I Myself am Heav'n and Hell:
