| How sweet must be the lips that guard that tongue! Farquhar.—The Constant Couple, Act III. | 3 |
| ’Tis sweet to hear At midnight, on the blue and moonlight deep, The song and oar of Adria’s gondolier, By distance mellow’d, o’er the waters sweep; ’Tis sweet to see the evening star appear; ’Tis sweet to listen as the night winds creep From leaf to leaf; ’tis sweet to view on high The rainbow, based on ocean, span the sky. Byron.—Don Juan, Canto I. Stanza 122. | 4 |
| Sweets to the sweet; farewell! Shakespeare.—Hamlet, Act V. Scene 1. (The Queen scatters flowers on Ophelia’s coffin.) | 5 |

| ’Tis sweet to hear the watch-dog’s honest bark Bay deep-mouth’d welcome as we draw near home: ’Tis sweet to know there is an eye will mark Our coming, and look brighter when we come: ’Tis sweet to be awaken’d by the lark, Or lull’d by falling waters; sweet the hum Of bees, the voice of girls, the song of birds, The lisp of children and their earliest words. Byron.—Don Juan, Canto I. Stanza 123. | 8 |
| O sweet; O sweet Anne Page! Shenstone.—Slender’s Ghost, Verse 1. | 9 |
| Sweet is the vintage, when the showering grapes In Bacchanal profusion reel to earth, Purple and gushing; sweet are our escapes From civic revelry to rural mirth; Sweet to the miser are his glittering heaps; Sweet to the father is his first-born’s birth; Sweet is revenge—especially to women, Pillage to soldiers, prize-money to seamen. Byron.—Don Juan, Canto I. Stanza 124. | 10 |
| Sweet Auburn! loveliest village of the plain, Where health and plenty cheer’d the labouring swain. Goldsmith.—The Deserted Village, Line 1. | 11 |
