Страница 39 - Th' unfeeling for his own. Yet, ah ! why should they know their fate. Since sorrow never comes too late, And happiness too swiftly flies? Thought would destroy their paradise! No more; — where ignorance is bliss, 'Tis folly to be wise.
Страница 220 - Ever charming, ever new, When will the landscape tire the view! The fountain's fall, the river's flow, The woody valleys warm and low; The windy summit, wild and high, Roughly rushing on the sky; The pleasant seat, the ruined tower, The naked rock, the shady bower; The town and village, dome and farm, Each give each a double charm, As pearls upon an Ethiop's arm.

I was forced into the chair, and was so far happy as to be highly applauded, both for a long speech, and my conduct as president through an arduous day. I have not, however, authenticated to the public any account of the day's proceeding, nor given to the press the various new-fangled toasts which were the amusement of the hour, and should perish...
Страница 297 - Tooke. t On this subject, Mr. Wilkes relates the following anecdote : — The Bishop of B. told me that a most respectable lady, of his particular friendship, said to him, " The Prince came in here yesterday, overjoyed, saying, ' I never did better in any thing ; I behaved incomparably well ; I could not have thought it, as the case was quite new to me.
Страница 143 - Destroy his fib, or sophistry, in vain, The creature 's at his dirty work again, Thron'd in the centre of his thin designs, Proud of a vast extent of flimsy lines ! Whom have I hurt ? has poet yet, or peer, Lost the arch'd eye-brow, or Parnassian sneer?
