Strana 49 - HARRY, whose tuneful and well-measured song First taught our English music how to span Words with just note and accent, not to scan With Midas' ears, committing short and long, Thy worth and skill exempts thee from the throng, With praise enough for Envy to look wan : To after age thou shalt be writ the man That with smooth air couldst humour best our tongue.
Strana 105 - He has read all our poets, with particular attention to this delicacy of versification, and wonders at the...
Strana 49 - Midas' ears, committing short and long, Thy worth and skill exempts thee from the throng, With praise enough for Envy to look wan : To after age thou shalt be writ the man That with smooth air couldst humour best our tongue. Thou honour'st verse, and verse must lend her wing To honour thee, the priest of Phoebus' quire, That tun'st their happiest lines in hymn or story.
Strana 50 - I WAS glad when they said unto me, We will go into the house of the Lord.
Strana 76 - Through frost and snow, in sunshine and in rain, Duly as tolls the bell, to the high fane Explores, with faltering footsteps, his dark way, To kneel before his Maker, and to hear The solemn service chanted full and clear.

Strana 53 - And in remembrance of Sion, The tears for grief burst out ; We hanged our harps and instruments The willow-trees upon; For in that place men for their use Had planted many a one.
Strana 77 - Oh ! happy if the vain, the rich, the proud — The pageant actors of life's motley crowd — Would drop the mask; the moral prospect scan, And learn one lesson from a poor blind man ! LORD NELSON.
Strana 106 - With the same triumphant success the great Arminius is produced, to prove what? that the greater Calvin was not a most ruthless Persecutor? no such thing! that Arminius called him — "an INCOMPARABLE INTERPRETER of scripture !"

Oh ! if by Theology is meant the Dogmas of that great Theologian, or any part of the spirit of that " incomparable interpreter of scripture...
