Σελίδα 395 - Lo, the poor Indian ! whose untutor'd mind Sees God in clouds, or hears him in the wind ; His soul, proud science never taught to stray Far as the solar walk, or milky way; Yet simple nature to his hope has given, Behind the cloud-topp'd hill, an humbler heaven ; Some safer world, in depth of woods embraced, Some happier island in the watery waste, Where slaves once more their native land beholJ, No fiends torment, no Christians thirst for gold: To be, contents his natural desire, He asks no angel's...
Σελίδα 395 - Some happier island in the watery waste, Where slaves once more their native land behold, No fiends torment, no Christians thirst for gold. To Be, contents his natural desire, He asks no Angel's wing, no Seraph's fire; But thinks, admitted to that equal sky, His faithful dog shall bear him company.

Σελίδα 320 - POINT, 3d Sept., 1779. DEAR SIR, — I am just now favored with your letter of to-day, with its enclosures, which I return. I do. not see that any further measures can be taken, on your part, to apprehend those prisoners who have escaped, or to...
Σελίδα 219 - It requires but a small portion of the gift of discernment for any one to foresee that Providence will erect a mighty empire in America.
Σελίδα 260 - It cannot be expected, that two should go to one, when it is as easy again for one to go to two ; not to mention Dr. Franklin's age, his rank in the country, or his character in the world ; nor that nine-tenths of the public letters are constantly brought to this house, and will ever be carried where Dr. Franklin is.
Σελίδα 340 - Twelve hundred persons of any rank and of any nation assembled together, would with difficulty be prevented from tumult and confusion.
