Strana 19 - Tis as the general pulse Of life stood still, and Nature made a pause; An awful pause! prophetic of her end.
Strana 205 - Tis real good, or seeming, moves them all : But since not every good we can divide ; And reason bids us for our own provide : Passions, though selfish, if their means be fair, List under Reason, and deserve her care ; Those, that imparted, court a nobler aim, Exalt their kind, and take some virtue's name.

Strana 85 - Johnson, amazed at his odd frankness), I thought had been a secret between you and me ; and I am sure I would not have said any thing about it for the world.
Strana 70 - See the jockey, see the pander, Bid them come and take their fill. When the bonny blade carouses, Pockets full, and spirits high, What are acres? What are houses?
Strana 4 - some general principles of every science; he who can talk only on one subject, or act only in one department, is seldom wanted, and perhaps never wished for; while the man of general knowledge can often benefit and always please.
