Strona 280 - You taught me language; and my profit on't Is, I know how to curse : The red plague rid you, For learning me your language ! Pro.
Strona 34 - I prized every hour that went by, Beyond all that had pleased me before ; But now they are past, and I sigh, And I grieve that I prized them no more.
Strona 43 - Parent of nature ! Master of the world ! Where'er thy Providence directs, behold My steps with cheerful resignation turn. Fate leads the willing, drags the backward on. Why should I grieve, when grieving I must bear ? Or take with guilt, what guiltless I might share ? Thus let us speak, and thus let us act.
Strona 26 - I sit with sad civility, I read With honest anguish and an aching head; And drop at last, but in unwilling ears, This saving counsel,

I am therefore inclined to conclude, that if nothing counteracts the natural...
Strona 27 - No names — be calm — learn prudence of a friend : I too could write, and I am twice as tall ; But foes like these — P. One flatterer's worse than all. Of all mad creatures, if the learn'd are right, It is" the slaver kills, and not the bite.
Strona 247 - Or hear'st thou rather pure Ethereal Stream, Whose fountain who shall tell? Before the Sun, Before the Heavens, thou wert, and at the voice Of God, as with a mantle didst invest 10 The rising World of waters dark and deep, Won from the void and formless Infinite...
Strona 247 - Of God, as with a mantle didst invest The rising world of waters dark and deep, Won from the void and formless infinite. Thee I revisit now with bolder wing...
