=Cruelty.=
A stony adversary, an inhuman wretch, Uncapable of pity, void and empty From any dram of mercy. 446 SHAKS.: _M. of Venice,_ Act iv., Sc. 1. =Cupid.= Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind. 447 SHAKS.: _Mid. N. Dream,_ Act i., Sc. 1. Cupid is a casuist, A mystic, and a cabalist,-- Can your lurking thought surprise, And interpret your device.... Heralds high before him run; He has ushers many a one; He spreads his welcome where he goes, And touches all things with his rose. All things wait for and divine him,-- How shall I dare to malign him? 448 EMERSON: _Daem. and Celes., Love,_ Pt. i. |
