Страница 184 - Statesman \ yet friend to Truth! of soul sincere, ' In action faithful, and in honour clear ; 'Who broke no promise, serv'd no private end, 'Who gain'd no title, and who lost no friend ; 'Ennobled by himself, by all approv'd, 'And prais'd, unenvy'd, by the Muse he lov'd.
Страница 82 - Achilles' wrath, to Greece the direful spring Of woes unnumber'd, heavenly Goddess sing, The wrath which hurl'd to Pluto's gloomy reign The souls of mighty chiefs untimely slain.

Страница 186 - On Mrs. Corbet, who died of a Cancer in her Breast.

Passion and pride were to her soul unknown, Convinc'd that Virtue only is our own.
Страница 187 - Pensive hast follow'd to the silent tomb, Steer'd the same course to the same quiet shore, Not parted long, and now to part no more ! Go, then, where only bliss sincere is known! Go, where to love and to enjoy are one !
