Страница 310 - Enjoys the fruit of his long toils at last ; The soldier high in his king's favour stands, And, after having long obey'd, commands ; The lawyer, to reward his tedious care, Roars on the bench, that babbled at the bar : While I take pains to meet a fate more hard, And reap no fruit, no favour, no reward.
Страница 218 - He lov'd to fpeak, But could with Thunder harden'd Rebels break. Yet though they wak'd the Laws, His tender Mind Was undifturb'd, in Wrath feverely kind. Tempting His Power, 'and urging to aflume j ,".' Thus Jove in Love did Semele confume.
