My Lady looks as if she, too, could have sent that message; only that she would have stopped at the Church of England and gone no further.
Página 151 - THE pride of every grove I chose, The violet sweet, and lily fair, The dappled pink, and blushing rose, To deck my charming Chloe's hair. At morn the nymph vouchsafed to place Upon her -brow the various wreath; The flowers less blooming than her face, The scent less fragrant than her breath.

Página 426 - And let the difference between the mass of the sugar and that of the standard pound be drawn upon the same line to the same scale. Then, if that difference were magnified an infinite number of times, it would still be invisible.
