126 ページ - Ah ! why so vain, though blooming in thy spring, Thou shining, frail, ador'd and wretched thing? Old-age will come ; disease may come before ; Fifteen is full as mortal as threescore. Thy fortune, and thy charms, may soon decay : But grant these fugitives prolong their stay, Their basis totters, their foundation shakes ; Life, that supports them, in a moment breaks ; > Then wrought into the soul let virtues shine ; The ground eternal, as the work divine.

74 ページ - It aids the dancer's heel, the writer's head, And heaps the plain with mountains of the dead ; Nor ends with life, but nods in sable plumes, Adorns our hearse, and flatters on our tombs.
109 ページ - Some ladies' judgment in their features lies, And all their genius sparkles from their eyes. " But hold," she cries, " lampooner ! have a care; Must I want common sense, because I'm fair ?" O no : see Stella ; her eyes shine as bright As if her tongue was never in the right ; And yet what real learning, judgment, fire ! She seems...
34 ページ - Tune thy great praise, and bid my soul arise, And with the mounting sun ascend the skies; As that advances, let my zeal improve, And glow with ardour of consummate love ; Nor cease at eve, but with the setting sun My endless worship shall be still begun.
