Stran 196 - the past to pain. of care, In all my griefs — and God has given my In all my wanderings round this world share — I still had hopes my latest hours to crown, Amidst these humble bowers to lay me down ; To husband out life's taper at the close, And keep the flame from wasting by repose
Stran 211 - 1 Dreadfully staring Through muddy impurity, As when with the daring Last look of despairing Fixed on futurity. Perishing gloomily, Spurred by contumely Cold inhumanity, Burning insanity Into her rest. Cross her hands humbly As if praying dumbly, Over her breast 1 Owning her weakness, Her evil behavior, And leaving with meekness Her sins to
Stran 151 - Dreading even fools, by flatterers besieged, And so obliging that he ne'er obliged : Like Cato give his little senate laws, And sit attentive to his own applause ; While wits and templars every sentence raise, And wonder with a foolish face of praise ; Who would not weep if Atticus were he?"

Stran 130 - holy men, with the same sceptic placidity. " Look what a little vain dust we are," he says, smiling over the tombstones ; and catching, as is his wont, quite a divine effulgence as he looks heavenward, he speaks, in words of inspiration almost, of " the Great Day, when we shall all of us be contemporaries, and make our appearance together.
