Strana 160 - 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 125 - 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 56 - 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 130 - 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 50 - There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
Strana 150 - 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 192 - Honour and shame from no condition rise ; Act well your part, there all the honour lies.
