עמוד 158 - Here will I hold. If there's a power above us (And that there is, all Nature cries aloud Through all her works), he must delight in virtue ; And that which he delights in must be happy.
עמוד 222 - Oh, Sir ! the good die first, And they whose hearts are dry as summer dust Burn to the socket.
עמוד 227 - I have found out a gift for my fair; I have found where the wood-pigeons breed; But let me that plunder forbear, She will say 'twas a barbarous deed...
עמוד 108 - FATHER of all ! in every age, In every clime adored, By saint, by savage, and by sage, Jehovah, Jove, or Lord ! Thou great First Cause, least understood, Who all my sense confined To know but this, that Thou art good, And that myself am blind ; Yet...
עמוד 207 - The birds sang love on every spray — Till too, too soon, the glowing west Proclaim'd the speed of winged day. Still o'er these scenes my mem'ry wakes, And fondly broods with miser care ! Time but th' impression stronger makes, As streams their channels deeper wear.
עמוד 153 - Led off two captive trumps, and swept the board. As many more Manillio forced to yield, And march'da victor from the verdant field. Him Basto follow'd; but his fate more hard Gain'd but one trump, and one plebeian card. With his broad sabre next, a chief in years, The hoary Majesty of Spades appears, Puts forth one manly leg, to sight reveal'd.
עמוד 215 - LIKE as the damask rose you see, Or like the blossom on the tree, Or like the dainty flower of May, Or like the morning of the day, Or like the sun, or like the shade, Or like the gourd which Jonas had; Even such is man, whose thread is spun, Drawn out, and cut, and so is done.
עמוד 223 - Can a woman's tender care Cease towards the child she bare ? Yes, she may forgetful be, Yet will I remember thee.
עמוד 138 - Of parted fragments tumbling from on high ; And from the summit of that craggy mound The perching eagle oft was heard to cry, Or on resounding wings to shoot athwart the sky. One cultivated spot there was, that spread Its flowery bosom to the noon-day beam, Where many a rose-bud rears its blushing head, And herbs for food with future plenty teem.
עמוד 222 - The Lord descended from above And bowed the heavens high, And underneath his feet he cast The darkness of the sky ; On cherubs and on cherubims Full royally he rode, And on the wings of all the winds Came flying all abroad.
