The service past, around the pious man, With steady zeal, each honest rustic ran; Even children follow'd, with endearing wile, And pluck'd his gown, to share the good man's smile; His ready smile a parent's warmth express'd, Their welfare pleas'd him, and their cares distress'd; To them his heart, his love, his griefs were given, But all his serious thoughts had rest in heaven.
But that which pleas'd me most in this Method was the assurance I had, wholly to use my reason, if not perfectly, at least as much as it was in my power; Besides this, I perceived in the practice of it, my minde by little and little accustom'd it self to conceive its objects more clearly and distinctly; and having not subjected it to any particular matter, I promised my self to apply it also as profitable to the difficulties, of other sciences as I had to Algebra: Not that I therefore durst at first undertake to examine all which might present themselves, for that were contrary to the order it prescribes.
Has Heav'n design'd me any but Celinda? Dia. Maid! Bless me! did I then love a Woman? I am pleas'd thou should'st renounce me; make it good, And set me free from Fetters which I hate. Bel. Friend. Was this the Wife you did demand of me? Bel. Yes, I had no other. Dia. Fair Maid! forgive me all my shameful Passion, And charge my Fault upon your Beauty only. Cel. Excellent Creature!
And that the dear Balcony That has so oft been conscious of our Loves; From whence she has sent me down a thousand Sighs, A thousand looks of Love, a thousand Vows. O thou dear witness of those charming Hours, How do I bless thee, how am I pleas'd to view thee After a tedious Age of Six Months Banishment. Enter Mr. Gingle and several with Musick. Fid. But hark ye, Mr.
The Rogue is married, and I am so pleas'd, I can forgive him our last Night's Quarrel. Prithee, Sharp, if thou canst learn that young Thing's Name, 'tis a pretty airy Rogue, whilst I go talk to her. Sharp. I will, Sir, I will. Char. Bel. I hope you will not call it Rudeness, Madam, if I refuse you here. After the Dance she takes out Sir Timothy, they walk to a Courant.
We were much taken with the Fertility and Pleasantness of the Neck of Land between these two Branches, and no less pleas'd, that we had pass'd the River, which us'd to frighten Passengers from fording it.
The rustic pleas'd me with the concern he had for my Philander; oh my charming brother, you have an art to tame even savages, a tongue that would charm and engage wildness itself, to softness and gentleness, and give the rough unthinking, love; 'tis a tedious time to-night, how shall I pass the hours? To SYLVIA. Say, fond love, whither wilt thou lead me?
Madam, in this your Bounty is severe, Be pleas'd to spare that repetition here. I hope no Action of my Life should be So rude to charge your Generosity: But, Madam, do you think it just to pay Your great Obligements by so false a way? Alcippus' Passion merits some return, And should that prove but an ingrateful scorn? Alas, I am his Wife; to disobey, My Fame as well as Duty I betray. Gal.
I think the wiser sort my rhymes may slight, But what care I, the foolish will delight To read them, and the foolish God has chose, And doth by foolish things their minds compose, And settle upon that which is divine; Great things, by little ones, are made to shine. I could, were I so pleas'd, use higher strains: And for applause on tenters stretch my brains.
I am convinc'd and pleas'd, my fears are vanish'd, and a heaven of solid joy is opened to my view, and I have nothing now in prospect but angel-brightness, glittering youth, dazzling beauty, charming sounds, and ravishing touches, and all around me ecstasies of pleasure, inconceivable transports without conclusion; Mahomet never fancied such a heaven, not all his paradise promised such lasting felicity, or ever provided there the recompense of such a maid as Sylvia, such a bewitching form, such soft, such glorious eyes, where the soul speaks and dances, and betrays love's secrets in every killing glance, a face, where every motion, every feature sweetly languishes, a neck all tempting and her lovely breast inviting presses from the eager lips; such hands, such clasping arms, so white, so soft and slender!
