But thou, O Hope, with eyes fo fair,
What was thy delighted measure?
Still it whisper'd promif'd pleasure,

And bade the lovely scenes at distance hail ;
Still would her touch the feene prolong,
And from the rocks, the woods, the vale,
She call'd on echo fill through all the fong;
And where her fweeteft theme fhe chofe,

A foft refponfive voice was heard at every clofe,
And Hope, enchanted, smil'd, and wav'd her golden hair.

Hope from approaching Nuptials.

Now, fair Hippolita, our nuptial hour
Draws on apace, four happy days brings in
Another moon; but oh! methinks, how flow
This old moon wains! fhe lingers my desires,
Like to a step-dame, or a dowager
Long-withering out a young man's revenue.

Hope of good tidings.

O Hope, fweet flatterer, whofe delufive touch
Sheds on afflicted minds the balm of comfort,
Relieves the load of poverty; fuftains
The captive bending with the weight of bonds,
And smooths the pillow of difeafe and pain;
Send back th' exploring meffenger with joy,
And let me hail thee from that friendly grove.

Glover's Boadicea.

HATRED, AVERSION.

When, by frequent reflexion on a disagreeable object, our difapprobation of it is attended with a difinclination of mind towards it, it is called hatred. When our hatred and difapprobation of any object are accompanied with a painful fenfation upon the apprehenfion of its prefence or approach, there follows an inclination to avoid it, called averfion.

3

Hatred, or averfion, draws back the body as to avoid the hated object; the hands at the fame time thrown out fpread, as if to keep it off. The face is turned away from that fide towards which the hands are thrown out; the eyes looking angrily, and obliquely the fame way the hands are directed; the eye-brows are contracted, the upper lip difdainfully drawn up, and the teeth fet; the pitch of the voice is low, but loud and harsh, the tone chiding, unequal, furly, and vehement, the fentences are fhort and abrupt.

A defcription and example of this paffion from Shakespeare is given in the introduction to thefe examples, p. 328. To these we fhall add a few others :

Hatred curfing the object hated.

Poifon be their drink,

Gall, worfe than gall, the daintieft meat they tafte ;
Their fweeteft fhade a grove of cypress trees,
Their fweeteft profpect murd'ring bafilifks,
Their fofteft touch as fmart as lizard's ftings,
Their mufic frightful as the ferpent's hifs,

And boading fcreech-owls make the concert full;

All the foul terrors of dark-feated hell.-Shakespeare's Hen. VI.

This feems imitated by Dr. Young.

Why get thee gone, horror and night go with thee.
Sifters of Acheron, go hand in hand,

Go dance about the bow'r and close them in;
And tell them that I fent you to falute them.
Prophane the ground, and for th' ambrofial rofe,
And breath of jeffamin, let hemlock blacken,
And deadly night-fhade poifon all the air:
For the fweet nightingale may ravens croak,
Toads pant, and adders ruftle through the leaves:
May ferpents, winding up the trees, let fall

Their hiffing necks upon them from above,
And mingle kiffes-fuch as I would,give them.

Hatred of a rival in glory.

He is my bane, I cannot bear him;

One heaven and earth can never hold us both;
Still shall we hate, and with defiance deadly
Keep rage alive till one be loft for ever;

As if two funs fhould meet in one meridian,

Revenge.

And strive in fiery combat for the paffage. Rowe's Tamerlane.

ANGER, RAGE, FURY.

When hatred and difpleasure rife high on a fudden from an apprehenfion of injury received, and perturbation of mind in confequence of it, it is called anger; and rifing to a very high degree, and extinguishing humanity, becomes rage and fury.

Anger, when violent, expreffes itself with rapidity, noife, harfhness, and fometimes with interruption and hesitation, as if unable to utter itself with fufficient force. It wrinkles the brows, enlarges and heaves the noftrils, ftrains the muscles, clinches the fift, ftamps with the foot, and gives a violent agitation to the whole body. The voice affumes the highest tone it can adopt confiftently with force and loudness, though fometimes to exprefs anger with uncommon energy, the voice affumes a low and forcible tone.

Narrative in fuppressed Anger.

My liege, I did deny no prifoners.
But I remember when the fight was done,
When I was dry with rage, and extreme toil,
Breathless and faint, leaning upon my fword,
Came there a certain lord, neat, trimly drefs'd,
Fresh as a bridegroom; and his chin, new reap'd,

Show'd like a ftubble-land at harveft-home:
He was perfumed like a milliner;

And 'twixt his finger and his thumb he held
A pouncet-box, which ever and anon,

He gave his nofe, and took't away again;—
Who, therewith angry when it next came there,
Took it in fnuff and ftill he fmil'd and talk'd,
And as the foldiers bore dead bodies by,
He call'd them-untaught knaves, unmannerly,
To bring a flovenly unhandsome corfe
Betwixt the wind and his nobility.

With many holiday and lady terms,
He queftion'd me, among the reft demanded
My prifoners, in your majefty's behalf.

I then all fmarting with my wounds being cold,
To be fo peftered with a popinjay,

Out of my grief and my impatience

Anfwer'd neglectingly, I know not what,

He fhould, or he should not ;-for he made me mad,

To fee him fhine fo brifk, and smell fo fweet,

And talk fo like a waiting gentlewoman,

Of guns, and drums, and wounds, (heav'n fave the mark!)

And telling me the fovereign'ft thing on earth,

Was parmacity for an inward bruife;

And that it was great pity, fo it was,
That villainous falt-petre fhould be digg'd
Out of the bowels of the harmless earth,
Which many a good tall fellow had destroy'd
So cowardly; and but for thefe vile guns,
He would himself have been a foldier.
This bald, unjointed chat of his, my lord,
I anfwer'd indirectly as I faid,

And I befeech you, let not his report,
Come current for an accufation,
Betwixt my love and your high majefty.

Shakespeare's Henry IV. First Part.

Scorn and violent Anger, reproving.
Tut! tut!

Grace me no grace, nor uncle me no uncle,
I am no traitor's uncle; and that word-grace
In an ungracious mouth is but profane;
Why have thofe banished and forbidden legs
Dar'd once to touch a duft of England's ground?

But more than why-Why have they dar'd to march
So many miles upon her peaceful bofom;
Frighting her pale-fac'd villages with war,
And oftentation of despised arms?

Com'ft thou because the anointed king is hence?
Why foolish boy, the king is left behind,
And in my loyal bofom lies his power.

Were I but now the lord of fuch hot youth
As when brave Gaunt, thy father, and myself
Refcu'd the Black Prince, that
Mars of men,
young
From forth the ranks of many thousand French;
Oh, then, how quickly fhould this arm of mine,
Now prifoner to the palfy, chaftife thee,
And minifter correction to thy fault!

REVENGE.

Shakefp. Rich. II.

Revenge is a propenfity and endeavour to injure the offender, which is attended with triumph and exultation when the injury is accomplished. It expreffes itself like malice, but more openly, loudly, and triumphantly..

Determined Revenge.

I know not if they speak but truth of her,
Thefe hands fhall tear her; if they wrong her honour,

The proudeft of them fhall well hear of it.

Time hath not yet fo dry'd this blood of mine,

Nor age fo eat up my invention,

Nor fortune made fuch havoc of my means,

Nor my bad life 'reft me fo much of friends,
But they fhall find awak'd in fuch a kind,
Both ftrength of limb and policy of mind,
Ability in means, and choice of friends
To quit me of them thoroughly.

Eago Revenge.

Ibid. Much Ado, &c.

Oh, I could play the woman with mine eyes,

And braggart with my tongue!-But, gentle heaven,
Cut short all intermiffion: front to front,

Bring thou this fiend of Scotland, and myself;
