Страница 11 - DIM as the borrow'd beams of moon and stars To lonely, weary, wandering travellers, Is Reason to the soul : and as on high, Those rolling fires discover but the sky, Not light us here ; so Reason's glimmering ray Was lent, not to assure our doubtful way, But guide us upward to a better day. And as those nightly tapers disappear, When day's bright lord ascends our hemisphere ; So pale grows Reason at Religion's sight ; So dies, and so dissolves in supernatural light.

Страница 20 - Such are their natures and their passions such, But these disguise too little, those too much : So shall the man of power and pleasure...
Страница 44 - To abolish a status which in all ages God has sanctioned, and man has continued, would not only be robbery to an innumerable class of our fellow-subjects, but it would be extreme cruelty to the African savages, a portion of whom it saves from massacre, or intolerable bondage in their own country, and introduces into a much happier state of life ; especially now when their passage to the West Indies and their treatment there is humanely regulated. To abolish that trade would be to " shut the gates...
Страница 46 - No man is by nature the property of another — The defendant is therefore by nature free — The rights of nature must be some way forfeited before they can be justly taken away — That the defendant has by any act forfeited the rights of nature we require to be proved ; and if no proof of such forfeiture can be given, we doubt not the justice of the court will declare him free.
