Strana 198 - Full little knowest thou that hast not tried, What hell it is, in suing long to bide: To lose good days, that might be better spent; To waste long nights in pensive discontent; To speed today, to be put back tomorrow; To feed on hope, to pine with fear and sorrow; To have thy prince's grace, yet want her peers...
Strana 104 - Or of the eternal co-eternal beam, May I express thee unblamed ? since God is light, And never but in unapproached light Dwelt from eternity, dwelt then in thee, Bright effluence of bright essence increate.
Strana 255 - To his friends' pity, and pursuers' scorn, With shame remembers while himself was one Of the same herd, himself the same had done. Thence to the coverts and the conscious groves, The scenes of his past triumphs and his loves.

Strana 105 - Yet not the more Cease I to wander where the Muses haunt Clear spring, or shady grove, or sunny hill, Smit with the love of sacred song; but chief Thee, Sion, and the flowery brooks beneath, That wash thy hallowed feet, and warbling flow, Nightly I visit...

Strana 276 - He kept up his good" humour to the laft ; and took leave of " his wife and friends, immediately before " his laft agony, with the fame tranquillity " of mind, and the fame indifference for " life, as though he had been upon taking " but a fhort journey. He was twice mar" ried, firft to a daughter of Mr.
