עמוד 244 - Twas her own country bred the flock so fair; 'Twas her own labor did the fleece prepare: And sooth to say, her pupils, ranged around, Through pious awe did term it passing rare; For they in gaping wonderment abound, And think, no doubt, she been the greatest wight on ground!
עמוד 248 - But, ah! what pen his piteous plight may trace? Or what device his loud laments explain — The form uncouth of his disguised face — The pallid hue that dyes his looks amain — The plenteous shower that does his cheek distain?
עמוד 241 - AH me! full sorely is my heart forlorn, To think how modest Worth neglected lies While partial Fame doth with her blasts adorn Such deeds alone, as pride and pomp disguise; Deeds of ill sort, and mischievous emprise: Lend me thy clarion, goddess!
עמוד 155 - Whoe'er has travell'd life's dull round, Where'er his stages may have been, May sigh to think he still has found The warmest welcome at an inn.

עמוד 7 - ... and such fancy as made his little domain the envy of the great and the admiration of the skilful; a place to be visited by travellers and copied by designers. Whether to plant a walk in undulating curves, and to place a bench at every turn where there is an object to catch the view, to make...
עמוד 245 - And here trim rosemarine, that whilom crown'd The daintiest garden of the proudest peer, Ere, driven from its envied site, it found, A sacred shelter for its branches here ; Where edged with gold its glittering skirts appear. Oh wassel days ! O customs meet and well i. Ere this was banish'd from its lofty sphere ; Simplicity then sought this humble cell, Nor ever would she more with thane and lordling dwell.
עמוד 132 - If through the garden's flowery tribes I stray, Where bloom the jasmines that could once allure, "Hope not to find delight in us", they say, "For we are spotless, Jessy; we are pure.
