Unknown to me, within me. [4] Oh, Glumdalca!
Heaven thee designed a giantess to make, But an angelick soul was shuffled in. [5] I am a multitude of walking griefs, And only on her lips the balm is found [6] To spread a plaster that might cure them all. [Footnote 1: This speech has been terribly mauled by the poet.] [Footnote 2: ----My life is worn to rags, Not worth a prince's wearing.--_Love Triumphant_. ] [Footnote 3: Must I beg the pity of my slave? Must a king beg? But love's a greater king, A tyrant, nay, a devil, that possesses me. He tunes the organ of my voice and speaks, Unknown to me, within me.--_Sebastian_. ] [Footnote 4: When thou wert form'd, heaven did a man begin; But a brute soul by chance was shuffled in.--_Aurengzebe_. ] [Footnote 5: I am a multitude Of walking griefs.--_New Sophonisba_. |
