Strana 33 - Twas that friends, the beloved of my bosom, were near, Who made every dear scene of enchantment more dear, And who felt how the best charms of nature improve, When we see them reflected from looks that we love. Sweet vale of Avoca ! how calm could I rest In thy bosom of shade with the friends I love best, Where the storms that we feel in this cold world should cease, And our hearts, like thy waters, be mingled in peace !

Fond to forget the statesman in the friend ; For Swift and him, despis'd the farce of state, The sober follies of the wise and great ; Dexterous, the craving, fawning crowd to quit, And pleas'd to 'scape from flattery to wit.

Strana 33 - THERE is not in the wide world a valley so sweet, As that vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet ; Oh ! the last rays of feeling and life must depart, Ere the bloom of that valley shall fade from my heart.
Strana 345 - A surrender is bad, but a compromise or arrangement is worse. I think we may remember what a Tudor king said to a great Irishman in former times : " If all Ireland cannot govern the Earl of Kildare, then let the Earl of Kildare govern all Ireland.
