As if upon a full-proportion'd dome, On swelling columns heav'd the pride of art!
Page 210 - BE kind to each other! The night's coming on, When friend and when brother Perchance may be gone ! Then midst our dejection, How sweet to have earned The blest recollection Of kindness — returned!
Page 314 - No, sir, had I been a sharper, had I been possessed of less good nature and native generosity, I might surely now have been in better circumstances.
Page 35 - tis a dull and endless strife: Come, hear the woodland linnet, How sweet his music! on my life, There's more of wisdom in it. And hark! how blithe the throstle sings! He, too, is no mean preacher: Come forth into the light of things, Let Nature be your Teacher.
