WORDSWORTH: _She was a Phantom of Delight._
=Delusion.= For love of grace, Lay not that flattering unction to your soul That not your trespass but my madness speaks: It will but skin and film the ulcerous place. Whiles rank corruption, mining all within, Infects unseen. 528 SHAKS.: _Hamlet,_ Act iii., Sc. 4. =Denmark.= Something is rotten in the State of Denmark. 529 SHAKS.: _Hamlet,_ Act i., Sc. 4. =Deportment.= What's a fine person, or a beauteous face, Unless deportment gives them decent grace? Blest with all other requisites to please, Some want the striking elegance of ease; The curious eye their awkward movement tires; They seem like puppets led about by wires. |
