Strana xcvii - But tell me, tell me! speak again, Thy soft response renewing— What makes that ship drive on so fast? What is the ocean doing?' Second Voice 'Still as a slave before his lord, The ocean hath no blast; His great bright eye most silently Up to the Moon is cast— If he may know which way to go; For she guides him smooth or grim. See, brother, see! how graciously She looketh down on him.
Strana 81 - O, what is man, great Maker of mankind, That Thou to him so great respect dost bear, That Thou adorn'st him with so bright a mind, Mak'st him a king, and e'en an angel's peer.
Strana xxiii - O thou invisible spirit of wine ! if thou hast no name to be known by, let us call thee devil.

I know my Life's a pain, and but a span ; I know my Sense is mocked with every thing : And to conclude, I know myself a Man ; Which is a proud, and yet a wretched thing ! Of the Soul of Man ; and the Immortality thereof.
Strana 54 - For what are men better than sheep or goats That nourish a blind life within the brain, If, knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer Both for themselves and those who call them friend? For so the whole round earth is every way Bound by gold chains about the feet of God.
Strana xcii - Noah's dove, can no sure footing take, She doth return from whence she first was sent, And flies to Him that first her wings did make.
