Страница 75 - Sees by degrees a purer blush arise, And keener lightnings quicken in her eyes. The busy sylphs surround their darling care, These set the head, and those divide the hair, Some fold the sleeve, whilst others plait the gown ; And Betty's prais'd for labours not her own. CANTO II. NOT with more glories, in th...
Страница 63 - To clear this doubt, to know the world by sight, To find if books, or swains, report it right, (For yet by swains alone the world he knew, Whose feet came wandering o'er the nightly dew...
Страница 34 - Thus some are born, my son,' she cries, ' With base impediments to rise, And some are born with none. ' But virtue can itself advance To what the favourite fools of chance By fortune seem'd design'd ; Virtue can gain the odds of fate, And from itself shake off the weight Upon th

Go search among your idle...

For him, thou oft hast bid the world attend, Fond to forget the statesman in .the friend; For Swift and him, despis'd the farce of state, The sober follies of the wise and great ; Dextrous, the craving, fawning crowd to quit, And pleas'd to 'scape from flattery to wit.
Страница 73 - A heav'nly image in the glass appears, To that she bends, to that her eyes she rears ; Th' inferior priestess, at her altar's side, Trembling begins the sacred rites of pride. Unnumber'd treasures ope at once, and here The various...
Страница 104 - Which the kind master forc'd the guests to taste. Then,pleas'd and thankful, from the porch they go; And, but the landlord, none had cause of woe ; His cup was vanish'd ; for in secret guise The younger guest purloin'd the glittering prize. • As one who spies a serpent in his way...
