Seite 22 - Who but must laugh if such a man there be ? Who would not weep if Atticus were he?
Seite 24 - Fed with soft Dedication all day long, Horace and he went hand in hand in song. His library, where busts of poets dead...
Seite 271 - Seen him, uncumber'd with the venal tribe, Smile without art, and win without a bribe. Would he oblige me? let me only find, He does not think me what he thinks mankind.

Seite 29 - Me, let the tender office long engage To rock the cradle of reposing age, With lenient arts extend a mother's breath, Make languor smile, and smooth the bed of death; Explore the thought, explain the asking eye, And keep a while one parent from the sky ! On cares like these, if length of days attend, May Heaven, to bless those days, preserve my friend!
Seite 8 - Lintot, dull rogue! will think your price too much." "Not, sir, if you revise it, and retouch.
