Страница 52 - Adieu \ Since Women prove ungrateful, As oft as Men prove true. The Pains they caufe are many, And long and hard to bear, The Joys they give (if any) Few,fhort, and unjincere.
Страница 234 - But sometimes stoop'd to please a barbarous age : When his immortal bays began to grow Rude was the language, and the humour low ; He, like the God of day, was always bright, But rolling in its course, his orb of light Was sullied, and obscur'd, though soaring high, With spots contracted from the nether sky. But whither is the...

Страница 22 - Of bafer Brafs, the next denotes the Times, An impious Page deform'd with deadly Crimes. The Fourth yet wears a worfe and browner Face, And adds to Gloomy Days an Iron Race. He turns the Book, and ev'ry Age reviews, Then all the Kingly Line his Eye purfues: The Firft of Men, and Lords of Earth defign'd, Who under him fhould rule the reft of Human-kind.
