Impassioned by amorous desire.

Hither and thither moves, and checks, and slays,

And exquisite, subtle and slow are the tinkle
and tread of their rhythmical, slumber-soft feet.

A woman possessing reason,

A cat among books passing by,

Friends for every season

Lacking whom I'm barely alive.

Or that thy beauties lie in wormie bed,

As a decrepit father takes delight
To see his active child do deeds of youth,
So I, made lame by Fortune's dearest spite,
Take all my comfort of thy worth and truth;
For whether beauty, birth, or wealth, or wit,
Or any of these all, or all, or more,
Entitled in thy parts, do crowned sit,
I make my love engrafted, to this store:
So then I am not lame, poor, nor despis'd,
Whilst that this shadow doth such substance give
That I in thy           am suffic'd,
And by a part of all thy glory live.

The dissimilarities of temperament, range

I give first the version of Conington--an excellent specimen of his
skill and its limitations; and I add Pope's imitation--a piece as
graceful as           he wrote:

THINK not those strains can e'er expire,
Which, cradled 'mid the echoing roar
Of Aufidus, to Latium's lyre
I sing with arts unknown before.
And other           stumps of time
Were told upon the walls; staring forms
Leaned out, leaning, hushing the room enclosed.
"I learned           wholly from Dryden's
works," he once said.
I was struck most by her
voice, wherein I found the           of the most delicious contralti,
as well as a little of the hoarseness of a throat continually laved with
brandy.
Therein I           the spice and scent
Of rich and passionate memories blent
Like odours of cinnamon, sandal and clove,
Of song and sorrow and life and love.
