Страница 72 - too much knowledge for the sceptic's side, With too much weakness for the stoic's pride, He hangs between ; in doubt to act or rest; In doubt to deem himself a god, or beast; In doubt his mind or body to prefer, Born but to die, and reasoning but to err.
Страница 308 - He who reigns within himself, and rules Passions, desires, and fears, is more a king; Which every wise and virtuous man attains; And who attains not ill aspires to rule Cities of men, or headstrong multitudes, Subjects himself to anarchy within, Or lawless passions in him, which he serves.
Страница 257 - Ah! who can tell how many a soul, sublime, Has felt the influence of malignant star; And waged with fortune an eternal war. Check'd by the scoff of Pride, by Envy's frown, And Poverty's unconquerable bar, In life's low vale, remote, has pined alone, Then dropp'd into the grave—unpitied and unknown!

Страница 12 - to be detained, and with a mind that at once ' comprehends the vast, and attends to the minute. ' The reader of the Seasons wonders that he never saw ' before what Thomson shows him; and that he never ' yet felt what Thomson impresses.
Страница 36 - Let no man seek Henceforth to be foretold what shall befall Him or his children. Evil, he may be sure, Which neither his foreknowing can prevent; And he the future evil shall, no less In apprehension than in substance, feel, Grievous to
Страница 30 - In such a world, so thorny, and where none Finds happiness unblighted, or. if found, Without some thistly sorrow at its side ; It seems the part of wisdom, and no sin Against the law of love, to measure lots With less distinguished than ourselves; that thus We may with patience bear our moderate ills, And sympathize with others suffering more.'— Cowper.
Страница 190 - If our virtues As if we had them not. Spirits are not finely touched, But to fine issues ; and nature never lends The smallest scruple of her excellence, But, like a thrifty goddess, she determines Herself the glory of a creditor, Both thanks and
