Thus they lived-together, mutually enlightening each other. In the poem COWLET composed, on the death of his friend HARVEY, this stanza opens a pleasing scene of two young literary friends engaged in their midnight studies: Say, for you saw us, ye immortal lights! How oft unwearied have we spent the nights, Till the Ledæan stars, so famed for love, Wonder'd at us from above.
For I have hitherto given no denials, Nor has he given me cause; I have seen him wildly gaze upon me often, And sometimes blush and smile, but seldom that; And now and then found fault with my replies, And wonder'd where the Devil lay that wit, Which he believ'd no Judge of it could find. Oli. Faith, Madam, that's his way of making love. Am. Oli. How, Aminta, can you sigh in earnest? Am.
At daylight in the Morning we steer'd West-South-West, and afterwards West by South, which by Noon brought us into the Latitude of 9 degrees 30 minutes South, and Longitude 229 degrees 34 minutes West, and by our run from New Guinea ought to be in sight of Wessels Isle, which, according to the Chart is laid down about 20 or 25 Leagues from the coast of New Holland; but we saw nothing, by which I conclude that it is wrong laid down; and this is not to be wonder'd at when we consider that not only these Islands, but the lands which bound this Sea have been discover'd and explored by different people and at different times, and compiled and put together by others, perhaps some Ages after the first discoveries were made.
"To wake the soul by tender strokes of art, To raise the genius, and to mend the heart, To make mankind in conscious virtue bold, Live o'er each scene, and be what they behold: For this the tragic Muse first trod the stage, Commanding tears to stream through every age; Tyrants no more their savage nature kept, And foes to virtue wonder'd how they wept."
Just as disease proves health, and is the other side of it.... The philosophy of Greece taught normality and the beauty of life. Christianity teaches how to endure illness and death. I have wonder'd whether a third philosophy fusing both, and doing full justice to both, might not be outlined.
The straight-hair'd man look'd up again, his mouth full of ham. "Hush!" he held his fork up, and shook his head sorrowfully: and I wonder'd where I had Been him before. "Hast thou an angel's wings?" he ask'd. "Why, no, sir; but the devil's own boots as you shall find if I be not answer'd."
It may be wonder'd how such Dispatch could be made, but the Reader must take Notice, these Goods were sold by the Dutch Invoice, which the Merchant of the Prize affirmed was genuine.
By it I've kep' up the po' of Cottontown. I've puzzled an' wonder'd I've thought of a dozen fo'ks but I sed nothin' was it you?" The outlaw smiled: "It come from the rich an' it went to the po'. Come," he said "that's somethin' we must settle." He took up the lantern and led the way into the other room.
So clear was the air, I could almost read the legend on their standard, and the calls of their captains were borne up to us extremely distinct. As they rode leisurely past, I thought of Master Tingcomb's threat, and wonder'd what this array could intend.
I pull'd him after, and crept forward. I wonder'd the man did not hear us: but by good luck the horses were restive, and by his maudlin talk to them I knew he was three parts drunk on the funeral wines, doubtless. I crept along, and found the tool chest stow'd against the further end: so, pulling it gently out, we got behind it.
