Well known when joy was beating high,
Where beauty ran to shun a shower
And love took pains to keep her dry,
And laid the sheaf upon the ground
To keep her from the dripping grass,
And ran for stocks and set them round
Till scarce a drop of rain could pass
Through; where the maidens they reclined
And sung sweet ballads now forgot,
Which brought sweet
memories
to the mind,
But here no memory knows them not.

Petrarch |

In many guises didst thou come to me;
I saw thee by the maidens while they danced,
Phaon allured me with a look of thine,
In Anactoria I knew thy grace,
I looked at
Cercolas
and saw thine eyes;
But never wholly, soul and body mine,
Didst thou bid any love me as I loved.

summarising the
critical
remarks in my former article; after which, I shall
leave without further development (ample as is the amount of development

They strike their iron edges on the Bishop's chair
And fling down the

This friar for to-morrow never thought,
But
squandered
ev'ry thing as soon as brought;
No saint-apostle less of wealth retained;
Good cheer o'er ev'ry wish triumphant reigned,
Save now and then to have a little fun,
(Unknown to others) with a pretty nun.
