Side 42 - THE wretch, condemn'd with life to part, Still, still on hope relies ; And every pang that rends the heart, Bids expectation rise. Hope, like the glimmering taper's light, Adorns and cheers the way ; And still, as darker grows the night, Emits a brighter ray.
Side 52 - Since Trifles make the Sum of human things And half our misery from our foibles springs...
Side 47 - Industry all easy, as Poor Richard says; and He that riseth late must trot all Day, and shall scarce overtake his Business at Night; while Laziness travels so slowly, that Poverty soon overtakes him...
Side 23 - If solid happiness we prize, Within our breast this jewel lies ; And they are fools who roam : The world has nothing to bestow ; From our own selves our joys must flow, And that dear hut, our home.

P'0R gold the merchant ploughs the main, The farmer ploughs the manor; But glory is the soldier's prize ; The soldier's wealth is honour : The brave poor soldier ne'er despise, Nor count him as a stranger, Remember he's his country's stay In day and hour o
Side 14 - I will to-morrow, that I will, I will be sure to do it; To-morrow comes, to-morrow goes, And still thou art to do it. Thus still repentance is deferred. From one day to another: Until the day of death is come, And judgment is the other.
