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!

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...
