Strona 95 - Though oft the ear the open vowels tire; While expletives their feeble aid do join; And ten low words oft creep in one dull line: While they ring round the same unvaried chimes With sure returns of still expected rhymes: Where'er you find "the cooling western breeze...
Strona 137 - But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
Strona 132 - If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? Or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him? If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? Or what receiveth he of thine hand? Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; And thy righteousness may profit the son of man.
Strona 237 - I have got such a cold, as I shall not be able to get rid of in a hurry. I got to the treasury about noon, but first of all I got shaved and dressed.

Strona 127 - As soothing Folly, or exalting Vice : Oh ! if the Muse must flatter lawless Sway, And follow still where Fortune leads the way; Or if no Basis bear my rising Name, But the fall'n Ruins of Another's Fame: Then teach me.
Strona 72 - Each works its end, to move or govern all: And to their proper operation still Ascribe all good; to their improper, ill. Self-love, the spring of motion, acts the soul; Reason's comparing balance rules the whole. Man, but for that, no action could attend, And but for this, were active to no end...
Strona 118 - The sick and weak the healing plant shall aid, From storms a shelter, and from heat a shade. All crimes shall cease, and ancient fraud shall fail ; Returning Justice lift aloft her scale ; Peace o'er the world her olive wand extend, And white-robed Innocence from heaven descend.
