Σελίδα 281 - It is to be all made of fantasy, All made of passion, and all made of wishes; All adoration, duty, and observance, All humbleness, all patience, and impatience, All purity, all trial, all observance; And so am I for Phebe.
Σελίδα 232 - And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband : but and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband ; and let not the husband put away his wife.
Σελίδα 165 - Though I look old, yet I am strong and lusty: For in my youth I never did apply Hot and rebellious liquors in my blood; Nor did not with unbashful forehead woo The means of weakness and debility; Therefore my age is as a lusty winter, Frosty, but kindly: let me go with you; I'll do the service of a younger man In all your business and necessities.
Σελίδα 373 - Things base and vile, holding no quantity, Love can transpose to form and dignity. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind...
Σελίδα 70 - Vice is a monster of so frightful mien, As, to be hated, needs but to be seen ; But, seen too oft, familiar with her face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace.

Σελίδα 161 - It is only repeated defeats, formidable diseases, the swift and precipitous advance of old age, which at length teach the imprudent being what he should have long since known, that comfort and health consist — above all in the decline of life — in the proper accord of a remnant of force, an approved reason, and sober conduct. "Another motive equally impels certain old men to dangerous excesses; it is the example of aged men who, in reality or in appearance, preserve the faculties that age always...
Σελίδα 98 - Alas, that such a term is possible! 0, that it were as infrequent as it is monstrous, and that no stern necessity compelled us to make the startling disclosures which this chapter must contain! We beseech, in advance, that every young creature into whose hands this book may chance to fall, if she be yet pure and innocent, will at least pass over this chapter, that she may still believe in the general chastity of her sex; that she may not know the depths of degradation into which it is possible to...
Σελίδα 103 - Eepeated admissions have also convinced me that leucorrhea and chronic inflammation of the womb, so common with the women of our cities, most frequently owe their origin to former, and sometimes to recent, excesses of this nature !" We have termed onanism a solitary vice, and nothing is more just. It has also been termed a contagious vice, and nothing is more true.
Σελίδα 93 - ... spirit by which these unfortunates formerly subjugated or attracted their equals, abandon them, and leave them no longer aught but contempt; the power of the imagination is at an end for them; pleasure no longer fawns upon them; but in revenge, all that is trouble and misfortune in the world seems to be their portion. Inquietude, dismay, fear, which are their only affections, banish every agreeable sensation from their minds. The last crisis of melancholy and the most frightful suggestions of...
