Seite 53 - Mercy ! I know it not — for I am miserable. I'll give thee Misery, for here She dwells ; This is her House, where the Sun never dawns, The Bird of Night sits screaming o'er the Roof, Grim Spectres sweep along the horrid Gloom, And nought is heard but Waitings and Lamentings.
Seite 51 - My guard, too, that observed me still so close, Tire in the task of their inhuman office, And loiter far behind. Alas ! I faint, My spirits fail at once — This is the door Of my Alicia Blessed opportunity ! I'll steal a little succour from her goodness, Now while no eye observes me. [She knocks at the Door. Enter a SERVANT.

Seite 42 - You heard, the duke's commands to me were absolute. Therefore, my lord, address you to your shrift, With all good speed you may. Summon your courage, And be yourself; for you must die this instant.
Seite 49 - Gaze unconcern'd upon the ruin round thee ; As if thou hadst resolv'd to brave thy fate, And triumph in the midst of desolation. " Ha ! see, it swells ; the liquid crystal rises, " It starts, in spite of thee, but I will catch it ; " Nor let the earth be wet with dew so rich.
