531. Song—'Twas na her bonie blue e'e

...r,
Queen shall she be in my bosom for ever:
Queen shall she be in my bosom for ever.


Chloris, I’m thine wi’ a passion sincerest,
And thou hast plighted me love o’ the dearest!
And thou’rt the angel that never can alter,
Sooner the sun in his motion would falter:
Sooner the sun in his motion would falter....Read more of this...

An Essay On Criticism

...nd Friend,
Who justly knew to blame or to commend;
To Failings mild, but zealous for Desert;
The clearest Head, and the sincerest Heart.
This humble Praise, lamented Shade! receive,
This Praise at least a grateful Muse may give!
The Muse, whose early Voice you taught to Sing,
Prescrib'd her Heights, and prun'd her tender Wing,
(Her Guide now lost) no more attempts to rise,
But in low Numbers short Excursions tries:
Content, if hence th' Unlearned their Wants may view,
The Lea...Read more of this...

Meditations Divine and Moral

...r no grace, is in danger of foundering. 
The finest bread has the least bran; the purest honey, the 
least wax; and the sincerest Christian, the least self-love. 
Sweet words are like honey; a little may refresh, but too much 
gluts the stomach. 
Divers children have their different natures: some are like 
flesh which nothing but salt will keep from putrefaction; some 
again like tender fruits that are best preserved with sugar. Those 
parents are wise that can fit their nurt...Read more of this...

Paradise Lost: Book 10

...Powers returned 
From unsuccessful charge; be not dismayed, 
Nor troubled at these tidings from the earth, 
Which your sincerest care could not prevent; 
Foretold so lately what would come to pass, 
When first this tempter crossed the gulf from Hell. 
I told ye then he should prevail, and speed 
On his bad errand; Man should be seduced, 
And flattered out of all, believing lies 
Against his Maker; no decree of mine 
Concurring to necessitate his fall, 
Or touch with lightest...Read more of this...

The Changeling

...repeating me, screamed the father.
 Will you stop repeating me, screamed his son.
 Oh well, I suppose imitation is the sincerest form of 
flattery, sighed the father.

To a Skylark

...
Or how could thy notes flow in such a crystal stream? 

We look before and after, 
And pine for what is not: 
Our sincerest laughter 
With some pain is fraught; 
Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought. 

Yet if we could scorn 
Hate, and pride, and fear; 
If we were things born 
Not to shed a tear, 
I know not how thy joy we ever should come near.

Better than all measures 
Of delightful sound, 
Better than all treasures 
That in books are...Read more of this...
