Стр. 155 - Gul in her bloom ; Where the citron and olive are fairest of fruit, And the voice of the nightingale never is mute ; Where the tints of the earth, and the hues of the sky, In colour though varied, in beauty may vie...
Стр. 385 - Hampton Court ? Nay ! to the King's Court ? The King's Court Should have the excellence! But Hampton Court Hath the pre-eminence; And York's Place, With my Lord's Grace!
