Σελίδα 7 - I'd in pleasure, ease, and plenty live. And as I near approach'd the verge of life, Some kind relation (for I'd have no wife) Should take upon him all my worldly care, Whilst I did for a better state prepare.
Σελίδα 7 - I'd shun, with as much studious care, As I would dens where hungry lions are ; And rather put up injuries, than be A plague to him, who'd be a plague to me. I value quiet at a price too great, To give for my revenge...
Σελίδα 2 - I'd have a private seat, Built uniform, not little nor too great; Better, if on a rising ground it stood ; On this side fields, on that a neighbouring wood.
Σελίδα 3 - A little more, sometimes t' oblige a friend. Nor should the sons of poverty repine Too much at fortune, they should taste of mine ; And all that objects of true pity were, Should be reliev'd with what my wants could spare ; For that our Maker has too largely given, Should be return'd in gratitude to Heaven.
Σελίδα 3 - To feed the stranger, and the neighbouring poor. Strong meat indulges vice, and pampering food Creates diseases, and inflames the blood. But what's sufficient to make nature strong, And the bright lamp of life continue long, I'd freely take ; and, as I did possess, The bounteous Author of my plenty bless.
Σελίδα 118 - But tis all sham, all artifice, That we may negligent and careless be : For, if his armies are withdrawn to-day, And we believe no danger near, But all is peaceable, and all is clear : His troops return some unsuspected way; While in the soft embrace of Sleep we lie.
Σελίδα 11 - But dragons guard the fruit, and rocks the coaft : And who would run, that's moderately wife, A certain danger, for a doubtful prize ; If you mifcarry, you are loft fo far, (For there's no erring twice in love, and war) You'll ne'er recover, but muft always wear Thofe chains you'll find it difficult to bear. Delia has charms I own, fuch charms would move Old age, and...
Σελίδα 35 - I've nought that can encourage my addrefs; My fortune's little, and my worth is lefs ; But if a love of the fublimeft kind Can make impreflion on a generous mind ; If all has real value that's divine ; There cannot be a nobler flame than mine. Perhaps you pity me. I know you muft; And my affection can no more diftruft ; But what, alas ! will helplefs pity do ? You pity, but you may defpife me too. Still I am wretched, if no moie you give, The ftarving orphan can't on pity live : He muft receive the...
Σελίδα 81 - Twas for your fake I feiz'd upon his life ; ' He would, perhaps, have fcorn'd fo chafte a wife. * And, Madam, you'll excufe the zeal I mew * To keep that fecret none alive fhould know.
Σελίδα 96 - Almighty, with immediate care, Direct and govern this capacious all, How soon would things into confusion fall ; Earthquakes the trembling ground would tear ; And blazing comets rule the troubled air ; Wide inundations with resistless force The lower provinces o'erflow, In spite of all that human strength could do, To stop the raging sea's impetuous course...
