Pàgina 234 - May never was the month of love For May is full of flowers, But rather April, wet by kind, For love is full of showers.
Pàgina 256 - Corneille, they have very generally received, by discovering that they have given more trouble to the poet than pleasure to the auditor. The necessity of observing the unities of time and place arises from the supposed necessity of making the drama credible.
