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.=

Immortal longings in me.

Were woman's looks,--
And folly 's all they've taught me.

And news much older than their ale went round.

Lord of himself,--that heritage of woe!

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
