Seite 49 - The only point where human bliss stands still, And tastes the good without the fall to ill ; Where only merit constant pay receives, Is...
Seite 19 - Lives through all life, extends through all extent, Spreads undivided, operates unspent : Breathes in our soul, informs our mortal part, As full, as perfect, in a hair as heart; As full, as perfect, in vile man that mourns, As the rapt seraph that adores and burns : To him no high, no low, no great, no small ; He fills, he bounds, connects, and equals all.

Hope springs eternal in the human breast : Man never Is, but always To be blest : The soul, uneasy and confined from home, Rests and expatiates in a life to come.
Seite 39 - In Faith and Hope the world will disagree; But all Mankind's concern is Charity: All must be false that thwart this one great end ; And all of God, that bless Mankind, or mend. Man, like the gen'rous vine supported lives; The strength he gains is from th
Seite 45 - Go, like the Indian, in another life Expect thy dog, thy bottle, and thy wife ; As well as dream such trifles are assign'd, As toys and empires, for a godlike mind : Rewards, that either would to virtue bring No joy, or be destructive of the thing : How oft...
Seite 56 - Hark! they whisper; Angels say, Sister Spirit, come away. What is this absorbs me quite? Steals my senses, shuts my sight, Drowns my spirits, draws my breath?
