Страница 108 - Does not the river from the mountain flow, And bring down riches to the vale below? See how the torrent rolls the golden sand From the high ridges to the flatter land. The lofty lines abound with endless store Of mineral treasure, and metallic ore; With precious veins of silver, copper, tin, Without how barren, yet how rich within!
Страница 90 - See, how some noble river's swelling tide, Augmented by the mountains' melting snows, Breaks from its banks, and o'er the region flows ! Hence fruitful crops and flowery wealth ensue, And to the swain such mighty gains accrue, He ne'er reproaches Heaven for want of dew. See, and revere, th...
Страница 204 - Thee her Author, and ador'd Thy throne ; Able to know, admire, enjoy her GOD, She did her high felicity applaud. Since Thou didst all the spacious worlds display, Homage to Thee let all obedient pay.

Страница 145 - Wild and unpeopled, or by man or beast. Who will our orb's unequal face explain, Which Epicurus made all smooth and plain ? How did thy rocks, O earth! thy hills, arise? How did thy giant sons invade the skies ? Lucretius, ' that it happen'd thus,
Страница 198 - Restrains, or sends his ministers abroad; Swift and obedient to his high command, They stir a finger, or they lift a hand; They tune our voices, or they move our eyes; By these we walk, or from the ground arise ; By these we turn, by these the body bend; Contract a limb at pleasure, or extend.
Страница 39 - And in their motions still that end regard, Always the fitness of the means respect, These as conducive choose, and those reject Must by a judgment foreign and unknown Be guided to their end, or by their own ; For to...
Страница 33 - Is it the transgression of any human law? Tell me what obligation he is under to obey any human law, if no divine law enforces such obedience?
Страница 55 - Transfix the clouds, and tower amidst the skies ; The snowy fleeces, which their heads involve, Still stay in part, and still in part dissolve; Torrents and loud impetuous cataracts...
