The breaking waves dashed high
On a stern and rock-bound coast,
And the woods against a stormy sky
Their giant branches tossed.
The sense of death is most in apprehension;
And the poor beetle, that we tread upon,
In corporal sufferance finds a pang as great
As when a giant dies.
Fling but a stone, the giant dies.
The baby figure of the giant mass
Of things to come.
I say with Didacus Stella, a dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant may see farther than a giant himself.
A dwarf on a giant's shoulders sees farther of the two.
A dwarf sees farther than the giant when he has the giant's shoulder to mount on.
Zaccheus he
Did climb the tree
Our Lord to see.
O, it is excellent
To have a giant's strength; but it is tyrannous
To use it like a giant.
This senior-junior, giant-dwarf, Dan Cupid;
Regent of love-rhymes, lord of folded arms,
The anointed sovereign of sighs and groans,
Liege of all loiterers and malcontents.
