ttle here below, Nor wants that little long. 1107 GOLDSMITH: _The Hermit,_ Ch. viii., St. 8. =Locks.= Thou canst not say I did it; never shake Thy gory locks at me. 1108 SHAKS.: _Macbeth,_ Act iii., Sc. 4. John Anderson my jo, John, When we were first acquent, Your locks were like the raven, Your bonny brow was brent. 1109 BURNS: _John Anderson._ =Logic.= He was in logic a great critic, Profoundly skill'd in analytic; He could distinguish and divide A hair 'twixt south and south-west side. 1110 BUTLER: _Hudibras,_ Pt. i., Canto i., Line 65. =London.= London! the needy villain's general home, The common-sewer of Paris and of Rome! With eager thirst, by folly or by fate, Sucks in the dregs of each corrupted state. 1111 DR. JOHNSON: _London,_ Line 83. =Longings.= I have Immortal longings in me. 1112 SHAKS.: _Ant. and Cleo.,_ Act v., Sc. 2. =Looks.= My only books Were woman's looks,-- And folly 's all they've taught me. 1113 MOORE: _The Time I've Lost in Wooing._ Where village statesmen talk'd with looks profound, And news much older than their ale went round. 1114 GOLDSMITH: _Des. Village,_ Line 223. =Lord.= Lord of himself,--that heritage of woe! 1115 BYRON: _Lara,_ Canto i., St. 2. Lord of himself, though not of lands; And having nothing, yet hath all. 1116 WOTTON: _Character of a Happy Life._ =Loss.= That loss is common would not make My own less bitter--rather more; Too common! Never morning wore To evening but some heart did break. 1117 TENNYSON: _In Memoriam,_ Pt. vi., St. 2. =Love.= O, how this spring of love resembleth The uncertain glory of an April day; Which now shows all the beauty of the sun, And by and by a cloud takes all away. 1118 SHAKS.: _Two Gent. of V.,_ Act i., Sc. 3. Love is a spirit all compact of fire; Not gross to sink, but light, and will aspire. 1119 SHAKS.: _Venus and A.,_ Line 149. Such is the power of that sweet passion, That it all sordid baseness doth expel, And the refined mind doth newly fashion Unto a fairer form, which now doth dwell In his high thought, that would itself excel; Which he, beholding still with constant sight, Admires the mirror of so heavenly light. 1120 SPENSER: _Hymn in Honor of Love._ How could I tell I should love thee to-day, Whom that day I held not dear? How could I know I should love thee away When I did not love thee
