Страница 99 - No radiant pearl, which crested fortune wears, No gem, that twinkling hangs from beauty's ears, Not the bright stars, which night's blue arch adorn, Nor rising suns that gild the vernal morn, Shine with such lustre as the tear that flows Down virtue's manly cheek for others

Страница 86 - O, whether by thy prime decree ordain'd To days of future life ; or whether now The mortal hour is instant, still vouchsafe, Parent and friend ! to guide me blameless on Through this dark scene of...
