you I'm fixed, determined, so now produce your reasons. When I'm determined, I always listen to reason, because it can then do no harm.

GOLDSMITH, The Good-natured Man, act 1, sc. 1.

LIVING BY RULE.

Ease leads to habit, as success to ease,
He lives by rule who lives himself to please.
CRABBE, Tales of the Hall, bk. 2.

LOOK, &c.

Look before you, 'ere you leap ;
For as you sow, y'are like to reap,
HUDIBRAS, Canto 2, pt. 2, line 503.

Look here, upon this picture, and on this.
SHAKSPERE, Hamlet, act 3, sc. 4.

Look round the habitable world, how few
Know their own good; or, knowing it, pursue.
DRYDEN, Juvenal's Satire, 10.

LOOKED, &c.

Alone, amid the shades,

Still in harmonious intercourse they liv'd
The rural day, and talked the flowing heart,
Or, sigh'd and look'd unutterable things,
THOMSON, Summer, line 1185.

LONGING, &c.

Left the warm precincts of the cheerful day,
Nor cast one longing, lingering look behind.

LORD.

Lord, Lord, how the world is given to lying!

LOST A DAY.

Good Titus could, but Charles could never say,
Of all his royal life, he "lost a day."

DUKE'S Poem on the death of Charles 2.

This world, 'tis true,

Was made for Cæsar, but for Titus too;

And which more blest? Who chain'd his country? say,
Or he whose virtue sigh'd to lose a day?

POPE, Essay on man, Epi. 4, st. 1.
The delight of men,

He who the day, when his o'erflowing hand
Had made no happy heart, concluded lost!
THOMSON, Liberty.

LOT'S WIFE.

Escape for thy life; look not behind thee,

neither stay thou in all the plain ;-But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

GENESIS, c. 19, v. 17, 26.

Orpheus he went, as poets tell,
To fetch Eurydice from hell;
And had her, but it was upon
This short, but strict condition;
Backward he should not look, while he
Led her through hell's obscurity.
But ah! it happened, as he made
His passage through that dreadful shade,
Revolve he did his loving eye,

For gentle fear or jealousy;

And looking back, that look did sever,

Him and Eurydice for ever.

HERRICK, Hesp. Orpheus, No. 330.

LOVE.

Many waters cannot quench love,
Neither can the floods drown it.

SOLOMON'S SONG, c. 8, v. 7.

Whene❜er my heart love's warmth but entertains,
O frost! O snow! O hail! forbid the banns.
One drop now deads a spark, but if the same
Once gets a force, floods cannot quench the flame.
HERRICK, Hesp. against love, No. 127.

O, how this spring of love resembleth
The uncertain glory of an April day;
Which now shows all the beauty of the sun,
And by and by, a cloud takes all away!

SHAKSPERE, Two Gent. of Verona, act 1, scene 3.

Ah me! for aught that ever I could read,
Could ever hear by tale or history,
The course of true love never did run smooth.

SHAKSPERE, Midsummer Night's Dream, act 1, sc I.

Now know I Eros! cruel god! surely he sucked the teat of a lioness, and in a thicket his mother reared him.

BANKS' Theocritus, Idyll 3, v. 5, p. 19.

I know thee, love! on foreign mountains bred,
Wolves gave thee suck, and savage tigers fed.
Thou wert from Etna's entrails torn,

Got by fierce whirlwinds, and in thunder born!

POPE, Pastoral 3, line 88, Autumn, Banks supra.

O love! unconquerable in the fight. Love! who lightest on wealth, who makest thy couch in the soft cheeks of the youthful damsel, and roamest beyond the sea, and mid the rural cots, thee shall neither any of the immortals escape, nor of men the creatures of a day. BUCKLEY'S Sophocles. Antigone, p. 188,

Mr. Buckley "puts in contrast, with this highly beautiful chorus," the following lines from ScottIn peace, love tunes the shepherd's reed;

In war, he mounts the warrior's steed;

In halls, in gay attire is seen;

In hamlets, dances on the green.
Love rules the court, the camp, the grove,
And men below, and saints above;

For love is heaven, and heaven is love.

SCOTT, Lay of the Last Minstrel, canto 3, st. 2.

}

There is no other remedy for love, O Nicias, either in the way of salve, as it seems to me, or of plaster, except the muses.

BUCKLEY'S Theocritus, p. 58-123.

Love, the sole disease thou canst not cure.

POPE, Pastoral 2, Summer, line 12.

Ambition is no cure for love.

SCOTT, Last Minstrel, Canto 1, stanza 27.

Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,-
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error, and upon me prov'd,
I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd.

SHAKSPERE, Sonnet, 116.

Love is the salt of life; a higher taste
It gives to pleasure, and then makes it last.
BUCKINGHAM, de on love, stanza 5.

Fie, fie! how wayward is this foolish love,
That, like a testy babe, will scratch the nurse,
And presently, all humbled, kiss the rod !

SHAKSPERE, Two Gentlemen of Verona, act 1, sc. 2.
So love does reign

In stoutest minds, and maketh monstrous war;
He maketh war, he maketh peace again,
And yet his peace is but continued jar:
O miserable men, that to him subject are!
SPENCER, Fairy Queen, bk. 2, canto 2.

Ne may love be compelled by maistery;-
For, soon as maistery comes, sweet love anon,
Taketh his nimble wings, and soon away is gone.
Ibid, bk. 3. canto 1.

Love, free as air, at sight of human ties,
Spreads his light wings, and in a moment flies.
POPE, Epi. to Eloisa, two last lines.

Love like a shadow flies,

SHAKSPARE, Merry Wives of Windsor, act 2, sc. 2. Of honey and of gall in love there is store; The honey is much, but the gall is more. SPENCER, Eclogue 3, March.
