They had their name thence; coarse complexions
And cheeks of sorry grain will serve to ply
The sampler and to tease the huswife’s wool.

Love-darting eyes, or tresses like the morn?

And backward mutters of dissevering power.

  Listen where thou art sitting
Under the glassy, cool, translucent wave,
  In twisted braids of lilies knitting
The loose train of thy amber-dropping hair.

I can fly, or I can run.

Comus. Line 1012.

Or if Virtue feeble were,
Heav’n itself would stoop to her.

Comus. Line 1022.

2734

I come to pluck your berries harsh and crude,
And with forc’d fingers rude
Shatter your leaves before the mellowing year.

Lycidas. Line 3.

2735

He knew
Himself to sing, and build the lofty rhyme.

Lycidas. Line 10.
