Seite 36 - WHEN civil dudgeon first grew high, And men fell out, they knew not why ; When hard words, jealousies, and fears, Set folks together by the ears, And made them fight, like mad or drunk, For Dame Religion, as for punk ; VOL.
Seite 51 - But Shadwell never deviates into sense. Some beams of wit on other souls may fall, Strike through and make a lucid interval ; But Shadwell's genuine night admits no ray, His rising fogs prevail upon the day.
Seite 125 - Proud as Apollo on his forked hill, Sate full-blown Bufo puffd by ev'ry quill; Fed with soft Dedication all day long, Horace and he went hand in hand in song.
