Page 56 - ... not an open enemy, that hath done me this dishonour : for then I could have borne it.
Page 339 - MY joy, my life, my crown ! My heart was meaning all the day, Somewhat it fain would say : And still it runneth muttering up and down With only this, My joy, my life, my crown ! Yet slight not these few words ; If truly said, they may take part Among the best in art.
