Страница 36 - Burst law's inclosure, leap the mounds of right, Pursuing and pursued, each other's prey ; As wolves for rapine, as the fox for wiles, Till Death, that mighty hunter, earths them all.
Страница 198 - Man's caution often into danger turns ; And his guard falling crushes him to death. Not happiness itself makes good her name; Our very wishes give us not our wish. How distant oft the thing we doat on most From that for which we doat, felicity!
