Strana 99 - ... constancy, to love thee still. Yea, it had been a sin to go And prostitute affection so. Since we are taught no prayers to say, To such as must to others pray. Yet do thou glory in thy choice — Thy choice, of his good fortune boast ; I'll neither grieve, nor yet rejoice, To see him gain what I have lost.

Strana 99 - He that can love unloved again, Hath better store of love than brain; God send me love my debts to pay While unthrifts fool their love away!
Strana 21 - Sic coarse-spun thoughts as thae want pith to move My settled mind; I'm o'er far gane in love. Patie to me is dearer than my breath; But want of him I dread nae other skaith. There's nane of a' the herds that tread the green Has sic a smile, or sic twa glancing een.

Strana 65 - ... other bosom ties perhaps equally tender. Where the individual only suffers by the consequences of his own thoughtlessness, indolence, or folly, he may be excusable ; nay shining abilities, and some of the nobler virtues, may half sanctify a heedless character ; but where God and nature have...
Strana 22 - Gang soon to bed, and quickly rise; O lash your steeds, post time away, And haste about our bridal day: And if ye're wearied, honest light, Sleep, gin ye like, a week that night.
