...the cannons rattle,
Thou shalt sit in state, and see thy love in battle.
 O mount and go, &c.


When the vanquish’d foe sues for peace and quiet,
To the shades we’ll go, and in love enjoy it:
When the vanquish’d foe sues for peace and quiet,
To the shades we’ll go, and in love enjoy it.

...observant of the laws;
And Heav'n by wonders has espous'd his cause.
Whom has he wrong'd in all his peaceful reign?
Who sues for justice to his throne in vain?
What millions has he pardon'd of his foes,
Whom just revenge did to his wrath expose?
Mild, easy, humble, studious of our good;
Inclin'd to mercy, and averse from blood.
If mildness ill with stubborn Israel suit,
His crime is God's beloved attribute.
What could he gain, his people to betray,
Or change his right, for ar...Read more of this...

...refuse him? Curll invites to dine,
He'll write a Journal, or he'll turn Divine."

Bless me! a packet--"'Tis a stranger sues,
A virgin tragedy, an orphan muse."
If I dislike it, "Furies, death and rage!"
If I approve, "Commend it to the stage."
There (thank my stars) my whole commission ends,
The play'rs and I are, luckily, no friends.
Fir'd that the house reject him, "'Sdeath I'll print it,
And shame the fools--your int'rest, sir, with Lintot!"
"Lintot, dull rogue! will thin...Read more of this...

For solace of the softe somer that sues therafter

...declin'd, 
'Till leaving Town, and Wife, and Debts behind,
To his Acquaintance at the Rural Seat 
He Sculks, and humbly sues for a Retreat. 
Whence comes this Change, has Wisdom left that Head, 
(His Friend demands) where such right Schemes were bred? 
What Phrenzy, what Delirium mars the Scull, 
Which fill'd the Chests, and was it self so full? 
Here interrupting, sadly he Reply'd, 
In Me's no Change, but Fate must all Things guide; 
To Providence I attribute my Loss.

...ow Cheek, the smother'd Sigh, 
When thy usurping fangs assail, 
The sacred Bonds of Friendship fail. 
Meek-bosom'd Pity sues in vain; 
Imperious Sorrow spurns relief, 
Feeds on the luxury of Grief, 
Drinks the hot Tear, and hugs the galling Chain. 

AH! plunge no more thy ruthless dart, 
In the dark centre of the guilty Heart; 
The POW'R SUPREME, with pitying eye, 
Looks on the erring Child of Misery; 
MERCY arrests the wing of Time; 
To expiate the wretch's crime; 
Insulted ...Read more of this...

...he prison walls, 
 And waves her bleeding arm until it falls, 
 To France she hopeless turns her glazing eyes, 
 And sues her sister's succor ere she dies. 
 
 G.W.M. REYNOLDS.

...debt;
Who evermore approves and more accepts 
(Best pleas'd with humble and filial submission)
Him who imploring mercy sues for life,
Then who selfrigorous chooses death as due;
Which argues overjust, and self-displeas'd
For self-offence, more then for God offended.
Reject not then what offerd means, who knows
But God hath set before us, to return thee
Home to thy countrey and his sacred house,
Where thou mayst bring thy off'rings, to avert
His further ire, with praiers and ...Read more of this...

...attle, fate, and fear,
     Stretch onward in thy fleet career!
     The wounded hind thou track'st not now,
     Pursuest not maid through greenwood bough,
     Nor priest thou now thy flying pace
     With rivals in the mountain race;
     But danger, death, and warrior deed
     Are in thy course—speed, Malise, speed!
     XIV.

     Fast as the fatal symbol flies,
     In arms the huts and hamlets rise;
     From winding glen, from upland brown,
     They pou...Read more of this...

...ht for one-- 
All people said she had authority-- 
The Lady Blanche: much profit! Not one word; 
No! though your father sues: see how you stand 
Stiff as Lot's wife, and all the good knights maimed, 
I trust that there is no one hurt to death, 
For our wild whim: and was it then for this, 
Was it for this we gave our palace up, 
Where we withdrew from summer heats and state, 
And had our wine and chess beneath the planes, 
And many a pleasant hour with her that's gone, 
Ere y...Read more of this...

...tems but chose to join with mine: 
 Sandoval sometimes fears, and sometimes woos 
 Our smiles; Manriquez envies; Lara sues; 
 And Alancastre hates. Our rank we know: 
 Kings are but just above us, dukes below. 
 Vasquez, who kept for sixty years his vow— 
 Greater than he I pass. This reverend brow, 
 This was my sire's—the greatest, though the last: 
 The Moors his friend had taken and made fast— 
 Alvar Giron. What did my father then? 
 He cut in stone an image of...Read more of this...

...WRONG not, sweet empress of my heart, 
 The merit of true passion, 
With thinking that he feels no smart, 
 That sues for no compassion. 

Silence in love bewrays more woe 
 Than words, though ne'er so witty: 
A beggar that is dumb, you know, 
 May challenge double pity. 

Then wrong not, dearest to my heart, 
 My true, though secret passion; 
He smarteth most that hides his smart, 
 And sues for no compassion....Read more of this...

...an alone thy law deny? --refuse 
Thy healing for his blunders and his sins? 
Oh, make us thine! Teach us who waits best sues; 
Who longest waits of all most surely wins. 
When Time is spent, Eternity begins. 
To doubt, to chafe, to haste, doth God accuse....Read more of this...
