עמוד 165 - Story! God bless you! I have none to tell, sir, Only last night a-drinking at the Chequers, This poor old hat and breeches, as you see, were Torn in a scuffle. Constables came up for to take me into Custody; they took me before the justice; Justice Oldmixon put me in the parishStocks for a vagrant.
עמוד 330 - Candour, which spares its foes, nor e'er descends With bigot zeal to combat for its friends ; Candour, which loves in see-saw strain to tell Of acting foolishly, but meaning well; Too nice to praise by wholesale or to blame, Convinced that all men's motives are the same ; And finds, with keen discriminating sight, Black's not so black, nor white so very white.
עמוד 281 - Pyrrha, sub antrof cui flavam religas comam, simplex munditiis? heu quoties fidem mutatosque deos flebit et aspera nigris aequora ventis emirabitur insolens, qui nunc te fruitur credulus aurea; qui semper vacuam, semper amabilem sperat nescius aurae fallacis. miseri, quibus intentata nites ! me tabula sacer votiva paries indicat uvida suspendisse potenti vestimenta maris deo.
עמוד 268 - O navis, referent in mare te novi fluctus ! o quid agis ? fortiter occupa portum ! nonne vides ut nudum remigio latus et malus celeri saucius Africo 5 antennaeque gemant ac sine funibus vix durare carinae possint imperiosius aequor?
עמוד 330 - Thou drivelling virtue of this moral age, CANDOUR, which softens party's headlong rage. CANDOUR, — which spares its foes ; nor e'er descends With bigot zeal to combat for its friends. CANDOUR, — which loves in see-saw strain to tell Of acting foolishly, but meaning well ; Too nice to praise by wholesale, or to blame, Convinced that all men's motives are the same ; And finds, with keen discriminating sight, BLACK'S not so black ; — nor WHITE so very white.
עמוד 351 - I'VE often wish'd that I could write a book, Such as all English people might peruse ; I never should regret the pains it took, That's just the sort of fame that I should choose : To sail about the world like Captain Cook, I'd sling a cot up for my favourite Muse, And we'd take verses out to Demarara, To New South Wales, and up to Niagara.
עמוד 304 - Vespers. After which a pause. Then a Bell is heard, as if ringing for supper. Soon after, a noise of singing and jollity. Enter from the Abbey, pushed out of the gates by the Porter, a TROUBADOUR, with a bundle under his cloak, and a LADY under his arm. TROUBADOUR seems much in liquor, but caresses the FEMALE MINSTREL.
עמוד 293 - Whene'er with haggard eyes I view This dungeon that I'm rotting in, I think of those companions true Who studied with me at the U — — niversity of Gottingen, — — niversity of Gottingen.
עמוד 14 - Alas ! Mrs. Miller is returned a beauty, a genius, a Sappho, a tenth Muse, as romantic as Mademoiselle Scuderi, and as sophisticated as Mrs. Vesey. The captain's fingers are loaded with cameos, his tongue runs over with virtu, and, that both may contribute to the improvement of their own country, they have introduced bouts-rimes as a new discovery.
עמוד 327 - Gainst Learning's, Virtue's, Truth's, Religion's foes, A kingdom's safety, and the world's repose. If Vice appal thee, — if thou view with awe Insults that brave, and crimes that 'scape the law ; Yet may the specious bastard brood, which claim A spurious homage under Virtue's name, Sprung from that parent of ten thousand crimes, The New Philosophy of modern times...
