Nicholas Rowe


Differ like human faces.	1
Her dismal dumps, like doleful Dido.	2
Hid, as in a grave.	3
Honor … like power, disdains being questioned.	4
Our passions, like the seasons turn; And now we laugh, and now we mourn.	5
Nature revives, like a dim winking lamp, That flashes brightly with parting light, And straight is dark forever.	6
Sullen as a storm.	7
Swift as the fleeting shades upon the golden corn.	8
Women, like summer storms, awhile are cloudy, Burst out in thunder and impetuous show’rs; But straight the sun of beauty dawns abroad, And all the fair horizon is serene.	9
