Strana 148 - No, the heart that has truly loved never forgets, But as truly loves on to the close; As the sunflower turns on her god, when he sets, The same look which she turned when he rose.
Strana 113 - Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which Is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
Strana 44 - Is it for thee the lark ascends and sings? Joy tunes his voice, joy elevates his wings. Is it for thee the linnet pours his throat ? Loves of his own and raptures swell the note.
Strana 118 - That wish accomplish'd, why, the grave of bliss? Because, in the great future buried deep, Beyond our plans of empire and renown. Lies all that man with ardour should pursue; And HE who made him bent him to the right. Man's heart th' Almighty to the future sets, By secret and inviolable springs; And makes his hope his sublunary joy.
Strana 165 - Love thyself last: cherish those hearts that hate thee; Corruption wins not more than honesty. Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace, To silence envious tongues. Be just, and fear not: Let all the ends thou aim'st at be thy country's, Thy God's, and truth's...
Strana 144 - From old Eternity's mysterious orb, Was Time cut off, and cast beneath the skies : The skies, which watch him in his new abode, Measuring his motions by revolving spheres ; That horologe machinery divine.
Strana 180 - I'll tell you, friend! a wise man and a fool. You'll find, if once the monarch acts the monk Or, cobbler-like, the parson will be drunk, Worth makes the man, and want of it the fellow, The rest is all but leather or prunella.
Strana 38 - There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
Strana 138 - But though past all diffus'd, without a shore, His essence ; local is his throne, (as meet,) To gather the disperst, (as standards call The listed from afar) : to fix a point, A central point, collective of his sons, Since finite every nature but his own.
Strana 180 - Honour and shame from no condition rise ; Act well your part, there all the honour lies.
