Strana 10 - I BLESS thee, Lord, because I GROW Among thy trees, which in a ROW To thee both fruit and order ow.
Strana 29 - I do not love thee, Doctor Fell, The reason why I cannot tell: But this alone I know full well, I do not love thee, Doctor Fell.
Strana 12 - Thy pow'r doth cut. Wherefore each part Of my hard heart Meets in this frame, To praise thy name. That, if I chance to hold my peace, These stones to praise thee may not cease. O, let thy blessed SACRIFICE be mine, And sanctifie this ALTAR to be Thine ! The Sacrifice.
Strana 98 - Gold ! Gold ! Gold ! Gold : Good or bad a thousand-fold ! How widely its agencies vary — To save — to ruin — to curse — to bless — As even its minted coins express, Now stamp'd with the image of Good Queen Bess, And now of a Bloody Mary ! FAIR INES.

Strana 103 - Our Life is nothing but a Winter's Day; Some only break their Fast, and so away. Others stay Dinner, and depart full fed. The deepest Age but sups and goes to bed. He's most in Debt that lingers out the Day; Who dies betimes has less and less to pay.
Strana 23 - , WE are little airy creatures, All of different voice and features ; One of us in glass is set, One of us you'll find in jet. T'other you may see in tin, And the fourth a box within. If the fifth you should pursue, It can never fly from you.
