Strana 98 - With thee conversing I forget all time; All seasons and their change, all please alike. Sweet is the breath of morn, her rising sweet, With charm of earliest birds...
Strana 360 - And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.
Strana 289 - Thy creatures have been my books, but thy Scriptures much more. I have sought thee in the courts, fields, and gardens, but I have found thee in thy temples.
Strana 480 - Juba carried thee too far. •Honour's a sacred tie, the law of kings. The noble mind's distinguishing perfection, That aids and strengthens virtue where it meets her, And imitates her actions, where she is not: It ought not to be sported with.
Strana 73 - Yet when I approach Her loveliness, so absolute she seems And in herself complete, so well to know Her own, that what she wills to do or say Seems wisest, virtuousest, discreetest, best.

One might observe a seaman, that could hail a ship at a league distance, beckoning with his hands, straining...
Strana 148 - READING is to the mind, what exercise is to the body. As by the one health is preserved, strengthened, and invigorated ; by the other, virtue, which is the health of the mind, is kept alive, cherished, and confirmed.
Strana 253 - We continued here three weeks in this dismal plight. At length, upon a turn of wind, the air about us began to thaw. Our cabin was immediately filled with a dry clattering sound, which I afterwards found to be the crackling of consonants that broke above our heads, and were often mixed with a gentle hissing, which I imputed to the letter S, that occurs so frequently in the English tongue.
Strana 217 - As one who, long in populous city pent, Where houses thick and sewers annoy the air, Forth issuing on a summer's morn to breathe Among the pleasant villages and farms Adjoin'd, from each thing met conceives delight ; The smell of grain, or tedded grass, or kine, Or dairy, each rural sight, each rural sound...
