Subject: IDENTIFYING THREE QUOTATIONS

Anticipating a 2d printing of my "Mary Shelley Reader" (Oxford 1990), I
ask if anyone hears or sees anything recognizable in the three quotations
below. I have in vain consulted dozens of concordances as well as about
a dozen dictionaries of quotations. Each quote would predate 1830.

(1) "a sylvan Huntress by his side" (before 1820);

(2) "Better have loved despair, and safer kissed her" (before 1820);

(3) the giants' rocks are "the naked bones of the world waiting to be
clothed" (before 1830--could this be somewhere in Burnet's "Sacred
Theory of the Earth"?

I would appreciate any leads--a similar query to exlibris about 2 weeks
ago was not too productive.

My wife is developing research on early 19th century women artists
in Great Britain, but is finding there to be dearth of material to
help. If anyone either has some leads to sources, or to scholars
also working on the same or similar areas, please let me know.
