Elysium

Souls of poets dead and gone,Choicer than the Mermaid Tavern?

— Elysium

[From De Joinville]: Now, I hold that, in most matrimonial instances, it is as well to provide for repentance ; and wealth has its advantages and its alleviations in affairs of the heart, as in all other affairs. It was by means of a golden bough that Æneas passed the evil spirits of Tartarus, and gained Elysium in safety.

— Elysium

Who, as they sung, would take the prison'd soulAnd lap it in Elysium.

— Elysium

Soon as thy son (believe the truths you hear)Must share the honours of Medea's bed.

— Elysium

Joy, thou spark from Heav'n immortal,Where thy happy wing-beats are.

— Elysium

How sweet a thing it is to wear a crown,And all that poets feign of bliss and joy.

— Elysium

I'll be as patient as a gentle streamA blessed soul doth in Elysium.
