Σελίδα 91 - 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, reached one gen'rous thought.
Σελίδα 282 - By a name I know not how to tell thee who I am : My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself, Because it is an enemy to thee; Had I it written, I would tear the word.
Σελίδα 110 - She fables not: I feel that I do fear Her words set off by some superior power...

Σελίδα 219 - Being; and this comparison is naturally introduced by all acts of joint worship. If ever the poor man holds up his head, it is at Church, if ever the rich man views him with respect, it is there ; and both will be the better, and the public profited the oftener they meet in a situation, in which the consciousness of dignity in the one is tempered and mitigated, and the spirit of the other erected and confirmed.
