Abraham Cowley
We griev'd, we sigh'd, we wept; we never blushed before.
|
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive, Half wishing they were dead to save the shame. The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow; They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats, And flare up bodily, wings and all.
|
Goldoni
The blush is beautiful, but it is sometimes convenient. It., Bello e il rossore, ma e incommodo qualche volta.
|
Jean de la Bruyere
Men blush less for their crimes than for their weaknesses and vanity. Fr., Les hommes rougissent moins de leur crimes que de leurs faiblesses et de leur vanite.
|
John Gay
The rising blushes, which her cheek o'er-spread, Are opening roses in the lily's bed.

Once he saw a youth blushing, and addressed him, Courage, my boy; that is the complexion of virtue.
|
Nicholas Rowe
From every blush that kindles in thy cheeks, Ten thousand little loves and graces spring To revel in the roses.

Thomas Hood
Such a blush In the midst of brown was born, Like red poppies grown with corn.
|
Thomas Moore
While mantling on the maiden's cheek Young roses kindled into thought.

William Cowper
I pity bashful men, who feel the pain Of fancied scorn and undeserved disdain, And bear the marks upon a blushing face, OF needless shame, and self-impos'd disgrace.
|
William R. Alger
An Arab, by his earnest gaze, Has clothed a lovely maid with blushes; A smile within his eyelids plays And into words his longing gushes.
|
William Shakespeare
I will go wash; And when my face is fair, you shall perceive Whether I blush or no.
|
William Shakespeare
I ask, that I might waken reverence, And bid the cheek be ready with a blush Modest as morning when she coldly eyes The youthful Phoebus, Which is that god in office, guiding men?
