Poor naked wretches, wheresoe'er you are, That bide the pelting of this pitiless storm, How shall your houseless heads, and unfed sides, Your loop'd and window'd raggedness defend you From seasons such as these ? Oh, I have ta'en Too little care of this! Take physic, pomp; Expose thyself to what

עמוד 90 - He tells us this is the witness to our own nobility, and to a future immortality. " Progress is man's distinctive mark alone, Not God's, and not the beasts': God is, they are, Man partly is, and wholly hopes to be." (Death in the Desert.)

עמוד 78 - So stretched out huge in length the arch-fiend lay Chained on the burning lake; nor ever thence Had risen, or heaved his head, but that the will And high permission of all ruling Heaven Left him at large to his own dark designs; That
עמוד 65 - We are not the first, Who with best meaning have incurred the worst; For thee, oppressed King, I am cast down ; Myself could else out-frown false Fortune's frown,— Shall we not see these daughters, and these sisters ?
