עמוד 222 - If, while this wearied flesh draws fleeting breath, Not satisfied with life, afraid of death, It haply be Thy will, that I should know Glimpse of delight, or pause from anxious woe ! From Now, from instant Now, great Sire ! dispel The clouds that press my soul ; from Now reveal A gracious beam of light ; from Now inspire My tongue to sing...

עמוד 188 - scapes The men their lyres, the maids their voices raise, To sing my happiness and Abra's praise, And slavish bards our mutual loves rehearse In lying strains and ignominious verse ; While from the banquet leading forth the bride, Whom prudent love from public eyes should...

עמוד 207 - And apter utensils their place supply. These things and thou must share one equal lot: Die, and be lost, corrupt, and be forgot; While still another, and another race Shall now supply, and now give up the place: From earth all came, to earth must all return; Frail as the cord, and brittle as the urn.
עמוד 109 - Which all must grant, though few can spell. You tell your doctor that you're ill, And what does he but write a bill ? Of which you need not read one letter ; The worse the scrawl, the dose the better ; For if you knew but what you take, Though you recover, he must break.
