עמוד 17 - What better can we do than prostrate fall Before him reverent; and there confess Humbly our faults, and pardon beg ; with tears Wat'ring the ground, and with our sighs the air. Frequenting, sent from hearts contrite, in sign Of sorrow unfeign'd, and humiliation meek ? Par. Lost, B. x. 1087. N°. 111. TUESDAY, APRIL 9, 1751.
עמוד 117 - his conversations on the subject, amidst his often indulged laxity of talk, there was ever a deep insight into the human heart. " All the arguments," he once, with keen satire, remarked, " which are brought to represent poverty as no evil, show it to be evidently a great evil. You never find people
עמוד 394 - soon blasted by rashness and negligence, and great designs, which are defeated by inexperience. In age, we have knowledge and prudence without spirit to exert, or motives to prompt them ; we are able to plan schemes and regulate measures, but have not time remaining to bring them to completion.

Words which convey ideas of dignity in one age, are banished from elegant writing or conversation in another, because they are in time debased by vulgar mouths, and

Yet they may at least claim this commendation, that they avoid gross faults, and that if they cannot often move terrour or pity, they are always careful not to provoke laughter. N°. 126. SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 1751.
עמוד 35 - and prosecution dreaded. The heart of a good man cannot but recoil at the thought of punishing a slight injury with death ; especially when he remembers that the thief might have procured safety by another crime, from which he was restrained only by his remaining virtue. The obligations to assist the exercise of
עמוד 149 - consistency is not accurately preserved. Thus Samson confounds loquacity with a shipwreck : How could I once look up, or heave the head, Who like a foolish pilot, have shipwreck'd My vessel trusted to me from above, Gloriously
עמוד 164 - Before great Agamemnon reign'd, Reign'd kings as great as he, and brave, Whose huge ambition's now contain'd In the small compass of a grave : In endless night they sleep, unwept, unknown : No bard had they to make all time their own.
