Strana 177 - For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight; His can't be wrong whose life is in the right...

Strana 41 - A clerk, foredoom'd his father's soul to cross, Who pens a stanza, when he should engross?
Strana 36 - Me, let the tender office long engage, To rock the cradle of reposing age, With lenient arts extend a mother's breath, Make languor smile, and smooth the bed of death, Explore the thought, explain the asking eye, And keep a while one parent from the sky!

Strana 464 - So bright is thy beauty, so charming thy song, As had drawn both the beasts and their Orpheus along : But such is thy avarice, and such is thy pride, That the beasts must have starved, and the poet have died. THE BALANCE OF EUROPE. Now Europe balanced, neither side prevails ; For nothing's left in either of the scales.
Strana 81 - Yet let me flap this bug with gilded wings, This painted child of dirt that stinks and stings...
Strana 63 - Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer, And without sneering, teach the rest to sneer; Willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike, Just hint a fault, and hesitate dislike, Alike...
