Página 97 - Virtue, the strength and beauty of the soul, Is the best gift of Heaven: a happiness That even above the smiles and frowns of fate Exalts great Nature's favourites : a wealth That ne'er encumbers, nor to baser hands Can be transferr'd: it is the only good Man justly boasis of, or can call his own.
Página 233 - The joys of parents are secret, and so are their griefs and fears ; they cannot utter the one, nor they will not utter the other. Children sweeten labours, but they make misfortunes more bitter: they increase the cares of life, but they mitigate the remembrance of death.
Página 169 - Go, fix some weighty truth; Chain down some passion ; do some generous good ; Teach Ignorance to see, or Grief to smile; Correct thy friend; befriend thy greatest foe; Or, with warm heart and confidence divine, Spring up, and lay strong hold on Him who made thee.
Página 159 - Death's tremendous blow. The knell, the shroud, the mattock, and the grave ; The deep damp vault, the darkness, and the worm . These are the bugbears of a winter's eve, The terrors of the living, not the dead ; Imagination's fool, and Error's wretch.
Página 1 - Some angel guide my pencil, while I draw, What nothing less than angel can exceed. A man on earth devoted to the skies ; Like ships in sea, while in, above the world. With aspect mild, and elevated eye, Behold him seated on a mount serene, Above the fogs of sense, and passion's storm ; All the black cares, and tumults, of this life, Like harmless thunders, breaking at his feet, Excite his pity, not impair his peace.
Página 49 - Go! fair example of untainted youth, Of modest wisdom, and pacific truth : Composed in sufferings, and in joy sedate, Good without noise, without pretension great. Just of thy word, in every thought sincere, Who knew no wish but what the world might hear: Of softest manners, unaffected mind, Lover of peace, and friend of human kind : Go, live ! for heaven's eternal year...
Página 211 - That charm shall grow, while what fatigues the Ring, Flaunts and goes down, an unregarded thing...
Página 79 - Nature in her then err'd not, but forgot. ' With every pleasing, every prudent, part, Say, what can Chloe want ?' — She wants a heart. She speaks, behaves, and acts, just as she ought, But never never reach'd one generous thought.
Página 59 - Twas to redeem the captive : Turn to him, Turn then, and seek your saving hope, repentance ; Go to your Carmelite, confess to him, Fly to your soul's physician for a cure ; Whether with soft emollients he assuage, Or with corrosive penances consume The cank'rous gangrene that now gnaws your heart.
Página 20 - Where prosperous folly treads on patient worth, And, to deaf pride, misfortune pleads in vain! Ah! — for their future fate how many fears Oppress my heart — and fill mine eyes with tears ! SONNET XXVIII. TO FRIENDSHIP. O THOU! whose name too often is profaned; Whose charms celestial, few have hearts to feel; Unknown to Folly — and by Pride disdain'd!
