Stran 104 - And from her own she learn'd to melt at others' woe, Scared at thy frown terrific, fly Self-pleasing Folly's idle brood, Wild Laughter, Noise, and thoughtless Joy, And leave us leisure to be good.

Stran 226 - Of aeting foolishly, but meaning well ; Too nice to praise by wholesale, or to blame, Convinced that all men's motives are the same ; And finds, with keen discriminating sight, BLACK'S not so black; — nor WHITE so very white.
Stran 106 - Each shepherd clasp'd, with undisguised delight, His yielding fair one, — in the Captain's sight : Each yielding fair, as chance or fancy led, Preferr'd new lovers to her sylvan bed.
Stran 138 - Still turn her fond hallucinating f eyes ; Thrills with Galvanic fires } each tortuous nerve, Throb her blue veins, and dies her cold reserve...
