admired , Sigh while his Chloe , blind to wit and worth , Weds the rich dulness of
some son of earth ? Yet time ennobles , or degrades each line : It brighten'd ...

The poet's hell , its tortures , fiends , and flames , To this were trifles , toys , and
empty names . With foolish pride my heart was never fired , Nor the vain itch to
admire , or be admired : I hoped for no commission from his grace ; I bought no ...

Oh , be thou blesa'd with all that Heaven can send , Long health , long youth ,
long pleasure , and a friend Not with those toys the female world admire , Riches
that vex , and vanities that tire . With added years , if life bring nothing new , But

Страница 54 - True ease in writing comes from art, not chance, As those move easiest who have learn'd to dance.
Страница 6 - I said; Tie up the knocker, say I'm sick, I'm dead. The Dog-star rages! nay 'tis past a doubt, All Bedlam, or Parnassus, is let out: Fire in each eye, and papers in each hand, They rave, recite, and madden round the land.
Страница 106 - twixt reading and Bohea, To muse, and spill her solitary Tea, Or o'er cold coffee trifle with the spoon, Count the slow clock, and dine exact at noon...
Страница 12 - Till grown more frugal in his riper days, He paid some bards with port, and some with praise ; To some a dry rehearsal was assign'd, And others (harder still) he paid in kind.

Страница 280 - Some gentle James, to bless the land again ; To stick the doctor's chair into the throne, Give law to words, or war with words alone, Senates and courts with Greek and Latin rule, And turn the council to a grammar school ! For sure, if Dulness sees a grateful day, 'Tis in the shade of arbitrary sway.
Страница 14 - What ? that thing of silk, Sporus, that mere white curd of Ass's milk ? Satire or sense, alas! can Sporus feel ? Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel ? P.
