A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

When I consider how my light was spent Ere half my days, in this dark world and wide, And that one talent which is death to hide Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent To serve therewith my Maker, and present My true account, lest he returning chide, Doth God exact day-labour, light denied? I fondly ask: But Patience, to prevent That murmur, soon replies: God doth not need Either mans work, or his own gifts: who best Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best: His state Is kingly: thousands at his bidding speed And post oer land and ocean without rest: They also serve who only stand and wait. John Milton SONG FROM AS YOU LIKE IT. Blow, blow, thou winter wind! Thou art not so unkind As mans ingratitude; Thy tooth is not so keen Because thou art not seen, Altho thy breath be rude. Heigh ho! sing heigh ho! unto the green holly! Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly; Then heigh ho! the holly! This life is most jolly! Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky, Thou dost not bite so nigh As benefits forgot; Tho thou the waters warp, Thy sting is not so sharp As friend remember dnot. Heigh ho! sing heigh ho! unto the green holly! Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly; Then, heigh ho! the holly! This life is most jolly William Shakespeare.
