Стр. 14 - Thou art not, Penshurst, built to envious show Of touch or marble; nor canst boast a row Of polished pillars or a roof of gold : Thou hast no lantern, whereof tales are told ; Or stair, or courts ; but stand'st an ancient pile, And these grudged at, are reverenced the while. Thou joy'st in better marks, of soil, of air, Of wood, of water ; therein thou art fair.
Стр. 27 - Use exercise of body, but such as is without peril of your joints or bones ; it will increase your force and enlarge your breath. " Delight to be cleanly, as well in all parts of your body as in your garments ; it shall make you grateful in each company, and otherwise, loathsome. " Give yourself to be merry ; for you degenerate from your father, if you find not yourself most able in wit and body to do anything when you be most merry.
Стр. 268 - My true love hath my heart, and I have his. His heart in me keeps him and me in one, My heart in him his thoughts and senses guides: He loves my heart, for once it was his own, I cherish his because in me it bides: My true love hath my heart, and I have his.
