Seite 60 - Nor think, in Nature's state they blindly trod; The state of Nature was the reign of God: Self-love and social at her birth began, Union the bond of all things, and of man.
Seite 140 - His gardens next your admiration call; On every side you look, behold the wall! No pleasing intricacies intervene, No artful wildness to perplex the scene ; Grove nods at grove, each alley has a brother, And half the platform just reflects the other.

Seite 38 - To serve mere engines to the ruling mind ? Just as absurd for any part to claim To be another in this...
Seite 64 - Love all the faith, and all th' allegiance then, For nature knew no right divine in men ; No ill could fear in God, and understood A sovereign being but a sovereign good, True faith, true policy, united ran ; That was but love of God, and this of man. Who first taught souls enslav'd, and realms undone, Th...
