Side 176 - CALL it not vain: — they do not err, Who say, that when the Poet dies, Mute Nature mourns her worshipper, And celebrates his obsequies: Who say, tall cliff, and cavern lone, For the departed Bard make moan; That mountains weep in crystal rill; That flowers in tears of balm distil; Through his loved groves that breezes sigh, And oaks, in deeper groan, reply; And rivers teach their rushing wave To murmur dirges round his grave.
Side 288 - Be calm in arguing ; for fierceness makes Error a fault, and truth discourtesy. Why should I feel another man's mistakes, More than his sicknesses, or poverty ; In love I should ; but anger is not love, Nor wisdom neither : therefore gently move.
Side 266 - Is pride, the never-failing vice of fools. Whatever nature has in worth denied, She gives in large recruits of needful pride ; For as in bodies, thus in souls, we find What wants in blood and spirits, swell'd with wind : Pride, where wit fails, steps in to our defence, And fills up all the mighty void of sense.

Side 235 - While rivers flow and woods are green. At times there come, as come there ought, Grave moments of sedater thought, When Fortune frowns, nor lends our night One gleam of her inconstant light ; And Hope, that decks the peasant's bower, Shines like the rainbow through the shower.
Side 56 - Che vuol, quanto la cosa e piu perfetta Piu senta '1 bene, e cosi la doglienza.
Side 127 - It is a mystic circle that surrounds Comforts and virtues never known beyond Its hallowed limits.
Side 127 - May fancied pain and fancied pleasure fly ; And I, as from me all thy dreams depart, Be to my wayward destiny subdued ; . Nor seek perfection with a poet's eye, Nor suffer anguish with a poet's heart.
Side 271 - And the father will talk to his sons most emphatically, of the honour, and dignity, and duties of men; and the next hour, perhaps, forgetting these, (when himself otherwise excited,) will indulge or applaud their insolent ill-manners, as marks of spirit ; and laugh even at their tyranny, or their treachery, as proofs of their talents for the world.
Side 271 - ... of humility, and meekness, and benevolence; and at another time will encourage them, both by her remarks, and her example, in every sort of paltry vanity and pride ! in the most absurd selfconsequence, and most ignoble disdain of others.
