Gawain and the Green Knight

...mete to the erthe,
That watz furred ful fyne with fellez wel pured,
No hwef goud on hir hede bot the haygher stones
Trased aboute hir tressour be twenty in clusteres;
Hir thryuen face and hir throte throwen al naked,
Hir brest bare bifore, and bihinde eke.
Ho comez withinne the chambre dore, and closes hit hir after,
Wayuez vp a wyndow, and on the wyyghe callez,
And radly thus rehayted hym with hir riche wordes,

Last Instructions to a Painter

...ng themselves to hoard their guilty store. 
The smallest vermin make the greatest waste, 
And a poor warren once a city rased. 

But they, whom born to virtue and to wealth, 
Nor guilt to flattery binds, nor want to wealth, 
Whose generous conscience and whose courage high 
Does with clear counsels their large souls supply; 
That serve the King with their estates and care, 
And, as in love, on Parliaments can stare, 
(Where few the number, choice is there less hard):

Paradise Lost: Book 01

...ers that erst in Heaven sat on thrones, 
Though on their names in Heavenly records now 
Be no memorial, blotted out and rased 
By their rebellion from the Books of Life. 
Nor had they yet among the sons of Eve 
Got them new names, till, wandering o'er the earth, 
Through God's high sufferance for the trial of man, 
By falsities and lies the greatest part 
Of mankind they corrupted to forsake 
God their Creator, and th' invisible 
Glory of him that made them to transform

Pilates Wifes Dream

...me pause.
What dream ? Erewhile the characters were clear,
Graved on my brain­at once some unknown cause
Has dimmed and rased the thoughts, which now appear,
Like a vague remnant of some by-past scene;­
Not what will be, but what, long since, has been. 

I suffered many things, I heard foretold 
A dreadful doom for Pilate,­lingering woes, 
In far, barbarian climes, where mountains cold 
Built up a solitude of trackless snows, 
There, he and grisly wolves prowled side by side,...Read more of this...

Ruins of Rome by Bellay

...s great image in Olympus placed, 
Mausolus' work will be the Carian's glory, 
And Crete will boast the Labybrinth, now 'rased; 
The antique Rhodian will likewise set forth 
The great Colosse, erect to Memory; 
And what else in the world is of like worth, 
Some greater learnèd wit will magnify. 
But I will sing above all monuments 
Seven Roman Hills, the world's seven wonderments.

Sonnet XCIV

...tone,From which its present name we closely trace,Were by disdainful nature rased, and thrownIts back to Babel and to Rome its face;Then had my sighs a better pathway knownTo where their hope is yet in life and grace:They now go singly, yet my voice all own;And, where I send, not one but finds its place.Read more of this...
